Join Jay (Geek. Dad. Life.) and Dan (Secret Galaxy) along with special guest Chris from The Full Force Podcast as they dive into the first year of Hasbro’s G.I. Joe A Real American Hero toyline! The figures may have been a little boring (outside of Snake Eyes, Cobra Troopers and Scarlette of course) but the articulation was revolutionary and the vehicles were great. They were so good that this year of toys kicked off one of the most successful toyline of the next Decade.

Join Jay (Geek. Dad. Life.) and Dan (Secret Galaxy) along with Ralph (Getting Lost Documentary) as they talk about the M.A.S.K. cartoon that was produced by D.I.C. in 1985-1986. It was considered one of the better cartoons of the era with one of the best theme songs. Does it hold up for the 80s kids that grew up or kids today?

Join Jay (Geek. Dad. Life.) and Dan (Secret Galaxy) with special guest Ken (Toy Kennections) as they dive into the second year of M.A.S.K. toys. 1985 was such a great first year there was a thought that 1986 would have seen a huge drop off, but in retrospect that wasn’t the case. Listen as we all re-discover why the second year of M.A.S.K. was almost as good as the first year.
