I rewatched Solo again recently. It's campy. It's corny. I still liked it though.
Interesting to note one of the members of the Swoop gang in SOLO, is one of Saw Guerra's rebels in Rogue One.

  Hmm… so the "Comic Series" Black Widow with the lightup base. I got her for 5 bucks. My issue with Marvel 3.75 figs, yes, there are alt versions, but not like GIJoe where v2 of Snake Eyes is much different than v1. I'd rank the Black Widow figures I own: Comic BW - Nice striking colors and a good head mold. Downside, no weapons. Movie BW - Think its officially called "Grapple Blast Black Widow." Comes with one of those spring loaded weapons. Definitely a nice figure. Sometimes they go lame on female figures, like that Scarlet Witch figure. This one has a lot of gear and the proper joints to pose her. Gamer Verse BW - Think finding out the head mold is a handy down kind of put a damper on her. Single Pack BW - The colors are bland/uninspired. I think there's a Black Widow in a 2 pack with Captain America in Age of Ultron colors I want to get and another one that is a veration of the one I just got in the "Avengers Assemble" line, so more to track down eventually. Ho hum ho hum. A shame there's not more that look like Scar Jo from her different looks in the movies (IM2, IW, Endgame, etc). |

I ended up hunting down the Transformers cassettes from Ocular Max
Furor = Rumble
Riot = Frenzy
and Enmitus? I guess he is one of Soundblasters tapes.
I've always wanted these guys as 1:1 Cassettes, so I'm stoked...put it off for too long.
*Edit, Enmitus is supposed to be, "Enemy". There was apparently a microphone with the speaker in the shape of his head, and there was a radio with a figure of him like Rumble/Frenzy, but permanently attached to the radio, however you could still transform him. Oddly, I do remember seeing this now.
I guess he appeared in one of the very early comics too in a single panel, but haters say he could have been miss-colored.

I think I need to find a new way to post pictures. Furor arrived today, he's the purple one AKA cartoon Rumble. I love it, what a great toy. I do wish his guns were bigger...they do the job though...it was a nice weight to it like their version of Ravage did. This is seriously one of the best toys I've had, and I haven't even played with the battery operated piledrivers yet, lol!
The figure has me excited to get the others...and maybe pick up Lazerbeak and Buzzsaw...Ocular Max is going to do the main four cassettes for Blaster too...I hope they continue beyond that, at least for Ratbat.

I did find some photos of them and they do look neat.

The tapes have always been my favorite thing about transformers. They have 3D mock ups of the 4 main Autobot ones, they look incredible.
I hope they get to Overkill and do a repaint for Grimlock...that would cover my Dinobot need.

I've got all three now, I will try to get a new account to post pics. I ended up ordering Buzzard and Voltore (Buzzsaw and Laserbeak). These guys are everything I love about Transformers.

Soundwave and his tapes are iconic.
I got charged for the Hasbro Pulse Snake Eyes today or maybe it was yesterday? Also got an email, they are shipping him early. That's cool.

That Snake-Eyes does look good.
I got Buzzard and Volture today, these guys are a blast! They can't fit on the arm's of the Masterpiece figures arms (that's what the smaller versions for), but I love them anyway :-)
I mentioned the scale, because that might bother some people, but not me. I've been wanting this scale for the tapes since I was a kid. They also have the best looking cassette mode so far.

 Two new Amiibos, Wind Waker Zelda and Link and my entire amiibo collection. Toon Zelda and Link are adorable. And that's a great Zelda game.  Got both He-Man and She-Ra on sale on Amazon for 20 bucks each and the Sega Mini was on sale for 40 bucks I believe on Best Buy. |

Dang, that's a pretty sweet haul.
Netflix took She-Ra off before I made it all the way through the series.

Yeah, the one thing I'd say about cartoon sets, once they go out of print, they usually go up in price as opposed to standard movie blu rays. The He-Man/She-Ra price reduction seemed to be a flash sale as their back up to 40 bucks.
In regards to video game collecting, selling software isn't that big a deal, but you should keep your hardware (this doesn't apply if you retro collect video games as they can get pricey).
