Yesterday was a big day for fans of Hasbro’s Generation 1 Transformers line with dual SDCC reveals for both Transformers: Devastation, Platinum Games’s upcoming video game, and Transformers: Combiner Wars, a brand new (online) animated series coming to Machinima.

G.I. Joe played a major role as one of my favorite toy lines as a kid. I was a big fan of the cartoon and the comic book series. With Transformers, on the other hand, I really enjoyed the show and comics, but the toys irritated me somewhat… they never scaled very well with certain […]

We haven’t showcased too many toys in our Fan Art Friday column so I figured it was time for a change… sorta. This series of toy illustrations by the mysterious Karatoys (seriously, I could find nothing on who or what Karatoys is) features a line-up of obscure figures from every corner of the toy box […]
