Toy Power Podcast

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we have a MASSIVE show organised for you!  As we attempt to cover almost all the wonderful news & reveals from the juggernaut that is San Diego Comic-Con!  We have a small batch of Pre-Con news, and then we get stuck into the Con headlines - breaking them down into Company Brands.  Kicking off with Mattel, (with a bonus breakdown from Criss Fresh on all things Wrestling); then Super7, Mondo, Nacelle, Neca, Hasbro, McFarlane & Mezco.  We have not one, but two "Shut-Up-And-Take-My-Money!" sizzle reels!   Then we rate the overall Companys display presence against each other - who was the overall best in our opinion?  Plus an interesting convo about if we even missed the Hollywood cinematic side of things this year?  This is probably our longest episode to date; so strap in as we break it all down for you!

This Week on the Toy Power Podcast; we are joined in studio by the very cool Dave Holder!  A talented man whom is visiting Radelaide to attend the local Brixpo.  Dave is renowned for his big Lego brick built sculptures.  With his entry into the Lego scene by winning a competition to become a Master Builder for Legoland Melbourne!!  All this excitement of Dave's story around winning the Lego comp; we delay some of the "Get to Know you Questions!"  Dave is one of the designers on Bricker Builds - jumbo sized sculpture sets created, designed and setup for fans to purchase & build in their own homes!!  A fascinating discussion on how this was created & what things they offer.  Dave has some awesome stories to share around his recent trip to Chicago for Brick World!  Dave & his team showcased a 'life-sized' Ang character (from the Avatar - The Last Air Bender); as well as many items from Bricker Build too.  Whilst in the USA - Dave has some really cool Toy Hunting tales to share as well.  Rounding out the ep - Dave shares with us some of his recent Grail Toy Scores & his witty Musical Band antics.

We’re not QUITE at SDCC yet, but that doesn’t stop the usual suspects dropping all their exclusives in what feels like Christmas in July. We revisit a pair of crowd funded projects – with wildly different results. ThunderCats fans rejoice (or cry depending on your financial outlook) cause there is some BIG confirmations here… The Todd keeps doing Todd things but has he peaked with arguably THE definitive Batman figure? Who is the new Supergirl actor, according to Hot Toys anyways. (Yikes) Mondo bring the heat with some great new MOTU and BTAS offerings before we dive into the current Hollywood strike situation and just what does it mean for some of our favourite upcoming projects. All this PLUS a true (toy) tragedy that unfolds live on air for Producer Scot.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we have fellow local Aussie, Glenn Pluck join us to chat about his awesome side business: Ultimate Figure Protection!  We ask him the usual 'Get to know you Questions' as well as, how one starts this kind of venture.  Overall, a remarkably interesting conversation about protecting precious toys.  Glenn's turn around with his requests is amazing, almost as impressive as his variety too!  Glenn has the market covered with protective Acrylic Cases for dozens of various Toylines of all shapes & sizes, including some playsets and large vehicles too!  With exciting plans for a one-stop-shop website in the works among other things; Ultimate Figure Protection is a name to watch out for!!  Plus, we touch on Latest Scores from all parties too, with a nice little surprise gift from Glenn too.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we are only a trio; but the show must go on right!  So we kick things off by checking in on the GI Joe HasLab campaign; this continues to be quite successful; whilst other Jurassic Campaigns have us doubtful...  McFarlane showcases off two very unique SuperMen; & what is with these Thundercat's Cat Lair teases?!?!  Can it really be done?  An announcement of the black & white Space Usagi, followed up by another Transformers X GIJoe Crossover combination.  Then we pivot to reviewing the new Playmates TMNT Mutant Mayhem figures.  We are all unanimously impressed by certain figures; & certainly blown away by all the included accessories!  All this & more; enjoy!

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we have Colin Bett's back again; to help us break down the wonderful 90's ToyBiz toy line.  A discussion starting with only Scot, Ben & Colin; but later on in the ep, we may have some extra voices join us....  We have a deep discussion about the ToyBiz Toy line that really fleshed out the diverse roster of the Marvel Universe!  Spawning multiple sub-toy lines, different scales and a variety of vehicles & playsets to boot!!  Action features, colours, vac metal and articulation; plus, insight and discussion into figures that never were never made!   Then we pivot from Marvel to DC; as we do a fairly broad, spoiler-free chat about the new The Flash film.  Does it live up to the hype?  How can we not compare it back to Marvel?!?

Our favourite Canadian Colin Betts joins us for this extended episode! There's a couple of new headlines to hit including the unstoppable DragonFly, COPS are back plus an amazing reveal from Mondo. Then it's time for the Vintage Toy Awards: Transformers G1 - Autobots edition. This was harder than we thought and some of our answers might surprise you - or even change as we go! Lots of categories to talk too - but which figure gets the coveted Best Autobot award?

Today there is lots of news to chat too - and 80% of it seems to be Turtles related! So don't expect to hear much from Producer Scot today! But there's also the newest Haslab reveal (blink and you'll miss it) some new Marvel Legends (which one is in Scot's basket?), The Todd gets another license and is Ben about to collect a new line? What makes us revisit the Shredders Revenge game? Then we chat all things Mega Toy Fair, the sights, the sounds, the friends and of course, the almighty scores.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast; we challenged ourselves like never before!  The crossover event of our careers!  So please look forward to a Quiz show devised from Matt Teale'o; with participants from Dave's Video Graveyard & Geek Dudes; pitched against the Toy Power Team.

This is actually Part Two of our crossover with good friends DVG and GeekDudes. If you’re wondering what happened to Part One; you’re not alone. I think Davey said it best, that when eight podcasters all yell at the same time, while chaotic and fun in places, it doesn’t necessarily make for good listening. On review, our decision to remove the PG filter wasn’t the right call either. Darren once said “Toy Power should be for everyone” and Part One simply didn’t fit that mantra - so it won’t be released. So for now, enjoy this family friendly quiz Battle Royale between us & our good mates.

Please be sure to give a Listen & Follow to:
- Fresh & Dirty Uncle Mitch on the Geek Dudes Podcast
