Unfortunately they are not glow in the dark. It is a lighting trick in the photos.

During his interview with "The Full Force Podcast" Lenny specifically mentioned that the spectral parts for Crystal Ball are not glow in the dark. Yet Snake Eyes' hands from the Polar Bear set are glow in the dark!!

Definitely a missed opportunity.

The hell? I'd be pissed off then if I bought based solely on those pics. Thanks for the heads up.

Awesome! Thank you very much for posting. These links are always a pain to find. The search function never seems to catch these items. I will post here on the Thursday morning.

So Hasbro Execs are saying that since the US government is imposing tarrifs on China the cost will be passed down to the consumer specifically collectors. They will try to keep kids toys at a reasonable price. So if the basic Classified figure goes up to $40 or over my collecting days will come to an end. I've started to be selective as it is but this is disheartening news.

Yeah that was to be expected because they didn't pause the recent tariff increases on China. I thought though that they had moved most of the production out of China and into Vietnam. However I took a quick look at the boxes of some recent purchases (TF, Joe, Black Series) and only the TFs were made in Vietnam. The Joes and BS were still made in China.

So I guess that means $40Cdn (+tax) figures are going to be a thing before the end of this year. I wonder what they will be charging in the US?

As for collecting, I'll stick with Classified for now because that is my number one line. However it just means cutting back even more on the rest. Because even now it is getting too pricey to even be "selective" on other lines.

I wonder if goods imported from China, land in the US, but destined for Canada are charged the 20% China tariff? We'll see

I feel like Hasbro's Canadian orders come straight here from Asia. Just a hunch based on there actually being Hasbro Canada offices and that we see things before the USA does.
