Let's continue with this Galaxy Force/Cybertron craze, next with Legacy United Deluxe Hot Shot, courtesy of Hasbro Malaysia and Hasbro Singapore.
Let me be frank. I didn't even bat an eye when he was first revealed. And now I am fairly surprised. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Continuing on, next we have Legacy United Voyager Class Vector Prime. For those who don't know, Vector Prime is a character from Cybertron/Galaxy Force series and currently getting the Legacy-Update treatment.

Next, something fresh from the farm, courtesy of Hasbro Malaysia and Hasbro Singapore.
For those who doesn't know, a new animated Transformers movie will be released in September 2024, simply titled Transformers One
We'll leave the debate on the design elsewhere although I welcome the different concept used. Watch, then judge.
Apparently this is "Orion Pax" mode, pre-matrix. If I'm not mistaken, Optimus Prime full design still not shown in trailer.

This is the review for the complate wave of Marvel Legends Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 3, released ahead of the premier of the movie, courtesy of Hasbro MY and Hasbro SG.
The set consists of 7 characters which are Star-Lord, Rocket, Drax, Mantis, Nebula, Kraglin and Adam Warlock. There are 2 Star-Lords per carton of 8. The figures retailed at RM124.90 each for Malaysia.
Another thanks to Hasbro MY and Hasbro SG for providing this review piece.
Now, time for a new Hasbro offering, from the newly started Dungeons & Dragons Golden Archive for the upcoming D&D movie, Honor Among Thieves.
Just a bit of a background. A Gelatinous Cube (or an athcoid) is a cube-shaped mindless, gelatinous matter that appears in countless D&D media.

Buying by association.
One of my issues in collecting. I had kept 1 Legacy Armada Starscream since I have an extra unit but he'd be lonely. So I need to have Armada Hotshot.
Jokes aside though. This year we'll see the release of rebooted Armada figure, namely Armada Optimus Prime (Commander Class) and Armada Megatron (Leader Class).
Of the 3 Unicron-Trilogy series, Armada is the one that desperately need a reboot due to the poor execution despite cool concept.

It seems like Hasbro is not letting the TF Fans rest, despite there's only few days left till new year. When you thought that Haslab Victory Saber was supposed to be last, BOOM came Legacy Evolution, Wave 1.
For this wave, the most sought after are 2 release, Deluxe Breakdown (for obvious reason) and Voyager Tarn, which we'll be looking at now
Alt Mode
Now, let us continue with the 2nd half of the release.
Victory Leo, the reformatted God Ginrai.
Part 1 of the review can be found here.
Victory Leo (Alt Mode 1)
Finally got time to do the review of the latest (and my 3rd) Haslab after Unicron and ML Sentinel. Another must-have for me since the Japanese G1s are part of my collections.
Haslab Victory Saber was announced in 2021.
In Package
On and off, McFarlane slowly releasing characters from the Death Metal arc, this time, specifically Speed Metal. Presenting Dark Flash from the Dark Multiverse.
I think this is a fairly awaited figure from Legacy. From my observation the appeal of Beast Wars characters not as good as the core G1 releases (by not much) but I've seen considerable interest for this.
With the release of BW Inferno, the original lineup for Predacons and Maximals are complete, understandable that they ventured further. But skipping Transmetal and going directly to Transmetal 2 seems a bit weird. Possibly due to 1) POTP already released his counterpart and 2) to venture farther away then 'another T-Rex' albeit it's not really the same.

This is something that took quite a short time between reveal and release. And honestly, I don't enjoy the unplanned purchases. But looking at the first online image, yeah, this is right up my alley.
Presenting, Omega Spawn, one of the oldest Hellspawns.
An unexpected release, never knew it was coming till I saw it myself. SDCC 2022 Exclusive Iron Man with Plasma Cannon
There's no point having Sabbac from Black Adam movie, if you don't have Black Adam himself. While I'm still contemplating the other 4 characters (depending on how the movie goes) Black Adam was a quick 'Yes', back when he was just revealed.
Although initially I was thinking of getting the hooded version but after seeing some issues with it, I opted for unhooded version.
Now for a figure that wasn't in my list
Sabbac, the supposed antagonist for the upcoming DC Black Adam movie (supposed as I don't know what's the plot of the movie)
An unexpected purchase. A shop opened of "SDCC Spawn" without any pictures or details and before it was revealed by Todd. The PO was priced at normal figure and I thought, why not.
As luck would have it, it turns out to be a Megafig. And the seller honor the PO price, thanks seller.
Now, for one of the most unpopular Spawn figure revealed ever in the new line. Manga Spawn.
Next up, something that I really looked forward to, before the Covid fiasco.
I'm actually not sure yet, how will I draw the line for Spawn releases. How different is considered different?
Commando Spawn, another MK11 skin. I contemplated on on getting him when he was first announced but decided to just proceed.
When Deluxe Throne Spawn was revealed, there were mix feelings. While it is a nice throwback to the old McFarlane release, some thought that it's just another Spawn repaint. So, it is worth it?
Let's see
