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.

Next, we'll take a look at another Starting Lineup figure, the Golden Boy Stephen Curry, courtesy of Hasbro MY and Hasbro SG

Finally my waiting ended, after debacle with the courier company. First would like to thank Hasbro Malaysia and Hasbro Singapore for reaching out to me a small time blogger.
Hasbro had announced at the end of September 2022, a new toyline, featuring 8 All-Star players of the NBA, namely Joel Embiid, Trae Young, Ja Morant, Lebron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luka Dončić, Jayson Tatum, and Stephen Curry.
I'll be reviewing the man the King James himself first.

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.

My next McFarlane review, MK11 Shadow Of Spawn. I took a risk on this when the PO was online without the actual product image.
But from the MK11 list of skins for Spawn, it's clear that it will be a homage to classics Spawn deco
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.
As an X-Men Animated Series fan, I looked forward to this, considering I missed the previous release. Presenting, Apocalypse!
This come as surprised as I didn't expect it to be released so soon after ZAP Megazord. However, it's a welcomed release. With the issues that ZAP Megazord had, people were debating whether Hasbro dropped the ball or it's just, what you'd called, first-release bad luck.
So let's see

An unexpected release, never knew it was coming till I saw it myself. SDCC 2022 Exclusive Iron Man with Plasma Cannon
It's been quite sometime since I review a Transformers figure so let's us see Takara latest release, MPG-02 Getsuei.
I had planned on reviewing the team since Shouki but there was an issue and I had to wait for quite sometime for the replacement. By the time I got him, don't really felt like doing review anymore

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.
It's time for the this year Titan. In my experience, he had a cold reception when it was revealed, almost the same as the Ark last year.
True, he may not be something for those who focused on G1 characters. But as a Titan, let's find out
In Package
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.
This is something a bit different than usual. Hasbro announced Zord Ascension Project Dino Megazord and people went mad. They had try-and-error release before, of Dino Megazord (simple version) and Zeo Megazord (non transforming), and while the reception was quite okay, the complain was that it's not at the level of adults collectors
The ZAP announced however, was really well received. In fact I'm curious why is it not under HasLab banner
Any who, let's see how good it is
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.
Had a 2nd run in with Covid last week, slowly recovering again. Had few reviews pending, let's catch-up
We'll start with Buzzworthy Terrorsaur
One popular question. Why is it Buzzworthy Bumblebee line?
Don't know
Let's continue with our Legacy releases, this time with another Beast Wars character. Getting closer to the completion of the main Predacon, Tarantulas.

Finally back from holiday, got some time to write.
As far as 2022 goes, this is one of the most anticipated releases, seeing how far Hasbro has come since CW

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
A step forward towards completing my Justice League, as a response to the Dark Knights of the Dark Multiverse. For my Aquaman, I opted for the Endless Winter version, even though knowing McFarlane, a clean-shaven Arthur will come out later down the line.
