Today on the Toy Power Podcast, it's a family affair as we welcome Ben's little brother Andrew to the show. You know, the handsome Sachse! Andrew shares with us his love of all things mechanic with the perfect toy line: Crash Dummies by Tyco. Not to be confused with a certain hit 90s song, what started as an educational series of toys, became a hit with cars, planes and figures that were actually designed to break apart. But how do parents deal with a toy that is constantly “breaking”? No, no – not the dreaded Kraggle mum! The Sachse boy regale us with childhood stories and bring in both the toys and some treasured home-made items. We then change gears and return to the Jurrassic era for a good look at latest movie-tie in, this time from Mattel. With everything from the tiny Kinder-surprise toys to the Super Colossal T-Rex, Ben fills the table with dinos of all shapes and sizes. How did Mattel do in their first dino-attempt? But the real question of this episode is: What would Picard do?
