Toy Power Podcast

This week on the Toy Power Podcast we have a very special guest join us; Mr. Floppy Starick!  (more about him next episode...)  Straight into the news, we have Darkseid unveiled in a MegaFig sized offering!  The Famous Vincent Price is remade in plastic form from Neca, and captures him throughout his career.  Mondo reveal a new line of Sofubi style TMNT and that has us all quite impressed!  The Great Deku Tree, from Zelda is announced from Lego - but do we see value for money here?  Super Shogun Metallic Mecha-Godzilla, now sporting 'Space Titanium' is certainly an upgrade to their previous release.  Marvel Legends 3pk: The Cabal sports some wicked Villains & we are rather impressed by the news of Marvel X McFarlane statues depicting famous Comic covers.  Then, we switch gears, & review what happened & what we saw, plus scored from the Adelaide Mega Toy Fair event!  

See & Hear more from Floppy via: Hack The Dino Podcast & streams; plus Floppy's IG channel: @FloppyPlaysGames

It's the other (better?) half of our fave Canadian duo - Jay Bartlett! He's here to talk about the upcoming release of N64 Quest, the highly anticipated sequel to the much loved Nintendo Quest. What are the rules this time around? Time crunch, budget pressure - how does Jay handle it? We've been granted special access to watch the first ep - no spoilers here but oh boy, we are in for a treat. We then end up talking about N64 memories, retro gaming in general and the prices of figures is just too damn high! Follow Jay in all his retro glory and N64 Quest for more details.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we are back to exploring all the Toy News that has hit our radar.  Kicking things off, we are back on the McFarlane bandwagon with a 3pk Super Powers Batman set.  New style 66' Batman figures.  More offerings from Trick Or Treat Studios - with the offering of Dr. Killemoff, with a neat action feature!  Hotwheels offers up a 1/64 Transforming Optimus Prime - but the price is at a Decpeticon level.  New announcements from the most recent Transformers Live Stream - Studio Series 86; plus an old favourite out of the Marvel Comicbook run!  Storm Collectables announce the 2nd Gatchaman character in their line-up - in the from of Jun the Swan.  Finally Extandar has made it into the Origins line-up; and Mondo try their hand at Cartoon Turtles.... but just how successful do they look?  Then we transition back to 1991 - as we review the most recent Radical Rewind screening of Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Trent has some recordings from the night itself; and we chat about the overall sell-out event itself.  Enjoy!

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we reflect on our efforts from the big 350th ep.  Can't thank everyone enough for all the banter on the various socials we received.  Now its back to normal proceedings, as we start to increase on the episode numbers again!  First news is centered around a Tribute via TMNT of Jack Kirby.  Mondo drop a few bombs with their recent reveals of a 1/6 Thundercats line as well as 6.5" Real Ghostbusters line-up too!  But that's not all, a teaser of the MOTU SkySled is incredible.  Formo Toys announces a re-do of the Warriors Of The Galaxy aka Galaxy Warriors - what can we expect to come form this line? Plus more key Autobots from Missing Link.  Then we transition over to our experiences at the April Adelaide Comic & Toy Fair.  Such a great day all around!  Finishing off the ep - we have an unboxing from JayHarps - whom has sourced some much needed items for us; plus a little custom surprise too!  All of this and more as we are still on a high from last episode.

This thing is so big, we had to record in a different room! Streamed live on FB on May the 4th, we opened a truely once in a lifetime item: Mattel's Origins Eternia. You thought we were silly usually, wait till there's no editing, multiple cameras and live comments from all the fans. Insanity abounds, Eternia awaits.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we have Morgan back in studio to get to know a little more about him.  Kicking off with the usual Favourite Toy & Favourite Movie as a 10yr old; plus, a bonus question as well.  Then we jump right into another segment of our ongoing Vintage Toy Awards!  This round focusing on the Evil Decepticons!  We run through all the classic tiers including Standout "Leader Class" Decepticon, Standout 2nd Tier Character, Best use of Colour, Best Sculpting, Best Accessories, Most Fun toy, Fave Beast mode, Fave Vehicle/alt mode, Fave Playset mode and Best Overall Figure.  There are some repeated callouts, proving some of these Decepticon Transformers are just awesome toys all around.  What did we miss; would love to hear your thoughts on this too!  Enjoy!

Long time Patreon Morgan joins us to look at what happening in the world of toys. He's so keen that Frank forgets how to tune a microphone - apologies for the audio issues! There's a slew of Marvel Legends and more Makina - but which colour is our fave? Is this the best version of Cringer Mattel has ever done? Is Beast Man lacking the furry factor? Ben has a cow over the newly revealed Moo-Mesa figures before we look at what appears to be the swan song of The Masterpiece line. Then a quick Reading/Watching/Playing where we plug our latest Patreon initiative, The Toy Power Book Club!

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we continue to delay the milestone 350th ep.  However, we still have a fun new show for you all!  Frank has just received his Super 7 Ultimates TMNT Party Wagon and brought it along to review on the show.  It is equally very very large, and incredibly detailed.  We break down all the features as well as the other items that are packed into this Vehicles release.  Then 2nd segment is all around the Movies that have already been released thus far.  We go around the room and see who has seen what - with a little chat on each as well as a rating out of 19.  Movies include: Argyle, Dune 2, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, Godzilla X Kong & Madame Webb.  Another fun episode all around!

This week on The Toy Power Podcast, its just the dynamic duo again; Trent & Ben.  This round, we kick things off with a kind of a new segment that we pitch a vintage toy against its modern counterpart version.  The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly.  Trent got so excited, he brought several options to the table.  So we have Green Ghost (aka Slimmer), Power Arm Terminator, Stilgar from Dune, Ming the Merciless from Flash Gordon & also Lion-O from Thunder Cats as well.  Some we also have a 3rd option to chat to as well. Then rounding out the ep we chat to the first two episodes of the highly anticipated X-Men 97' Cartoon!  Our thoughts, and how closely does it actually feel to the famous 90s release.
