Prowl is weird, but I like it? It makes no sense, but OK. I like it.

i do as well

We need a proper bigger Hashtag. I hope she gets a deluxe, but she needs a full proper voyager. We almost need a legacy version of her in the voyager assortment.

Maybe EarthSpark will eventually get an Ultra class assortment like Cyberverse had, and then Hashtag could get an Ultra figure with a decent amount of articulation.

Would be nice of her to get the Thunderhowl treatment if you will. Hopefully with a rotating head at least

Then again, her getting an Ultra class toy would also make her tower over the other Autobot and Decepticon Deluxe and Warrior toys, when she's supposed to be the same height as Bumblebee, and both are supposed to be smaller than the other 'Bots and 'Cons.

True, but I would almost rather her scale with her siblings than with the other bots. Twitch is already really big in comparison, and I would like to let Twitch sit on Hashtags shoulder

I've said this before, Hashtag should be a Spin Changer. It's the closest thing to an Ultra class that this line has and it would suit her well enough. I'm actually surprised they've only made two of those, I thought maybe we'd get a Megatron or something at some point.

It's a higher price point, and with toylines catering only kids Hasbro tends to not do too many. We saw that with Cyberverse, the pricier classes usually only had 2 releases (and they were often just BB and Optimus).
That said, yes, a Hashtag Spin changer would work.

Toysrus Canada Has a 50% Sale on all Earthspark Toys Until November 1

Great news for people looking to stock up on Christmas toys for young Transformers fans. The entire Earthspark toyline is on sale until November 1st at Toysrus in Canada. You can see the picture below for the different price points. While they have skipped several waves of the Studio Series and Legacy line, Toysrus stores have been more up to date on Earthspark than other Canadian stores, and has that line well stocked. You can see an image of how well Toysrus stores are stocked these days, which tends to happen around the holiday season (especially in movie years).

Because they aren't a specialized toy store. So they will liquidate or remove or simply not stock items rather than let them accumulate like Toysrus does.

We've actually noticed that when TRU Canada was sold to a we believe Investment Trust the prices went through the roof and nothing was moving. They have since fallen and the sales from before the sale to that Trust have returned. Thank goodness as if they didn't TRU Canada would have also gone under.

Yeah TRU has switched hands a few times, glad prices have finally come down and sales are back.

Unrelated note: just got warrior Thrash and I LOVE the transformation. Very well done figure, reminds me of Animated Prowl. Great deco too, probably the best face sculpt this year. And the sidecar has 4 modes for maximum playability
Easily my favourite Earthspark figure so far.

First Look at New Earthspark Toys Including Skullcruncher

PostPosted: Tue Nov 28, 2023 11:09 pm
by william-james88
The Earthspark show and toyline continue on in 2024 and we now have a good look at many of the new toys coming out, aimed at the kids who watch the show. We see warriors Twitch and Bumblebee which have these black hooks, leading us to believe they may have a combining gimmick. Below you will also see images of one step Skullcruncher + Elita-1 and Tacticon Twitch. These were found on Entertainment Earth.

Combining gimmick? The first Twitch looks like her drone mode has an ass-grabbing gimmick!

Image

Oh, I get it, she's one o' them predator drones. Maybe the U.N. should ban them.

I'd be more interested in the 1-step having a combining gimmick, since that drone appears to be a Titan-Master for Shockwave or Whirl.

Image

So many Skullcrunchers since TR, and yet none of them are really the upgraded one I've wanted since my 8th birthday...

These new figures look good, hopefully they'll be easier to find online.

Interesting that those are still being considered Warrior class despite having an obvious new gimmick worked into them. Twitch also has extra articulation in her feet that aren't used in alt mode and Bumblebee has an unusually large upside down symbol on the car mode roof leaving me to believe it'll form a chest.

BTW, these seem to use the same connectors as the upcoming Cyber Combiners we saw back in September (and also featured Twitch and Bumblebee), but don't appear to be compatible.

Might get these, and will probably get Skullcruncher simply because it's Skullcruncher.

That Twitch picture on the package looks....evil. And the vehicle mode looks way to similar to a mosquito for this Wisconsinite's liking. Causing flashbacks...

No lie. Looks like I'll be saving a lot of money next year. Or burning more of it on 3rd party stuff.
