'Nemesis Prime Clench' sounds like something out of a new edition of the Kama Sutra.

I think that this looks like vehicle into two different robot characters

I don't think so. Jet transforms into Starscream AND Thundercracker? The only real difference between them is drastically different colorscheme.
That's not interesting like the Skywarp/Megatron concept.
I'm betting it's some part swapping gimmick.

Is this going to be like those Squishmallows that... invaginated on themselves to form a different Squishmallow.

Squishmallows. Probably worth a Google.

But probably safer than googling invaginated
I suspect it (or Shockprowl) means "Turn inside out"

It's the type of product designed to be handled, not put on a shelf and looked at. They're essentially novelty cuddly pillows.

Yes, I'd agree that they are for young folks - and for anyone else who might want to pick up and cuddle, talk to or otherwise interact with a plush creature. But I'd argue that the "like Funko Pops" is inaccurate, in that Funko Pops aren't aimed at younger folks, who are more likely to want to interact with their toys - I'd suggest Funko Pops are aimed at adults, who are more likely to want to put their toys on a shelf or a display case and look at them... To me your comparison seems more apples/oranges than plushy/plushy Karl |

It can be worked out fairly easily from first principles. (Mind you, I am fairly inurred to medical/anatomical conversations - when you've a relative who is a vet, and have had a partner who was a Red Cross volunteer one does come to a slightly different view of where the edges of "normal conversation" ends and where "unsuitable for over a cup of coffee" starts...

Squishmallows seem to be aimed at kids, and seek to hit the niche as Beanie Babies and Tsum Tsums. |

They are literally completely different types of products, as the Kaptain has explained (also, while there are some licensed plushies, the majority of Squishmallows are original characters). This is a different argument as to whether one likes or dislikes them. -Ralph |

Devastation was a game, so I assume that's next on the SS list. Bullseye will be Target, yes? |

Post by Philip Ayres on Apr 24, 2024 21:41:40 GMT
Yeah all the Target listings have the word Bullseye in so I think that's branding/store rather than a toy called Bullseye.
The Amazon listings similarly all say Smile
