Rumors have been swirling for the past couple days, but Hasbro held its 2009 Fall Investor Event last week showing they were committed to television content, toylines and movies for both Jem & The Holograms and Micronauts. As soon as that announcement was made, it appears that JJ Abrams made a bid for the Micronauts movie. Rumor has it that Micronauts’ appearance in Mattel’s fan poll on licenses they should acquire prompted Hasbro to act quickly to keep Mattel away from Takara and the series from which Transformers originated.

Poweteer Tekwych linked us to this informative blog post made by a Micronauts fan featuring some background and a little speculation.

You can join in our active discussion of the announcements here.

My sister was a big Jem and the Holograms fan, so I saw my fair share of the Holograms and Misfits. I’m happy to see them make a comeback. What do you Poweteers think? Will you watch new Jem and Micronauts media? Buy the toy lines? Let us know below in the comments!

Blackbolt, Punisher, the Punisher variant, and Nemesis/Holocaust get their turn at bat in this second part of my Marvel Legends Wal-Mart Exclusive Wave of figures featuring Nemesis as the Build-A-Figure.

This video features Daredevil, Tigra, Astonishing Beast, and Nova. Stay tuned for Part 2 in two weeks!

This may not be new info, but it was new to me. GI Joe Resolute, the micro-series that aired on Cartoon Network as a build up to the hype of the live-action movie, will be making its DVD debut on November 3, 2009. If you are like me, and completely missed the airring, this is your chance to find out what happened.

Did any of you commenters watch it? Let us know what you thought below. Sharing is caring, people!

Finally got my hands on an Animated Cliffjumper figure and figured I’d share it with everyone.
Did you like Transformers Animated? Activators? Comment! Let us know.

After having received more requests than any previous figure in the past, I finally finished this review with you all. YouTube was a little strict, so I had to do a little creative editing. Hope you enjoy!
