Remember When Toys Were Fun? Hasbro’s $575 Unicron Figure Takes Almost an Entire Hour to Transform

A year ago, Hasbro revealed a massive 27-inch tall Unicron figure that, despite an equally gigantic $575 price tag, still managed to find 8,000 backers to help officially put it into production. The figure is impressively detailed, but in a recent blog post sharing the progress on Unicron’s development, it was revealed the figure takes…

No way to see the art up close and personal. Did we mention the wine? However, 2020 has been everything but normal circumstances, which means…

Chiss Names Are Some of Star Wars‘ Coolest Bullshit

Star Wars is full of cool bullshit which is, in many ways, why we love such an absurd behemoth in the first place. Space wizards with laser swords? Extremely bullshit, and very cool (some of the time). Blaster pistols? They go pew pew, what’s not to love. Starfighters? They go pew pew and fly in…

The Great Captain Planet/Hitler Face-off of 1995

The cartoons of the 1980s produced some of the most iconic villains of all time: Skeletor. Cobra Commander. Megatron. Shredder. How could a less-intriguing ‘90s cartoon like Captain Planet and the Planeteers ever hope to create bad guys so memorable, so significant as to compare with these pillars of animated evil? Turns out it couldn’t……
