Toy Power Podcast

It’s news day and boy oh boy there is MUCH to discuss. So much so we run a little bit over time and a lot of it, comes from one spicy topic. If you’re a fan of TMNT and have been following Super7, don’t miss this discussion! We also get our first look at some movie-based toys from The Todd, Seth Rogens new Turtles film and an onslaught of Marvel Legends. And did we mention one of the team is BACK on TV again? We also talk Funko, but not in a good way…

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we start things off with a very special shout out from the Legendary American Cartoon Voice Actor: Michael Bell!! - with thanks to Tealeó for lining up that beautiful plug for us!  Then we go around the room calling out some key episodes we are personally fond of from the Toy Power Archive.  Then without missing a beat, we chat about the latest news hitting our radar.  More Figure Obscura reveals, McFarlane Titans wave announced, Shattered Glass Transformers, Ninja Turtles toy leaks from upcoming Mutant Mayhem film & Biker Mice From Mars shots of the Mice themselves.  (Plus, a lot more news in-between too!)  Then we circle back to get Frank's opinion on how he thinks 10 of this year's films might rate.  Rounding out the Episode; we breakdown the new Antman & The Wasp: Quantumania Film that continues in true MCU fashion.  A comparison of how we rated it before the film debuted & of course full spoiler chat including after credit scenes.  Another fun episode to get your ears around!!

Who'd have thought, this silly little show would get this far? Probably only Darren in truth! Tonight we celebrate something Old, Something New and Something You. It's really just a cover for us to talk about the toys that we love in our collections. You can watch this celebratory episode on our Facebook page to see all the give-aways, the questions and the questionable fashion choices, inspired by a certain friend of ours. A massive THANK you to all our supporters over the journey, our Patreons and anyone who's ever listened. It certainly has been one helluva Good Journey!

This Week on the Toy Power Podcast - we introduce a new segment - as we preemptively review some of the 2023 Films - and discuss if they might be a potential HIT or $H!T movie; in our personal opinions.  The 2023 landscape of films is vast, so we narrow it down to just Ten films to look at.  They include: Antman & The Wasp, Cocaine Bear, Dungeons & Dragons, Evil Dead: Rise, The Super Mario Bros Movie, Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3, SpiderMan: Across The Spiderverse, Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts, TMNT: Mutant Mayhem & Dune: Part 2.    With a classic rating out of 19 - we will circle back once these films premiere, & see how right, or wrong we were!   Then closing out the episode, Trent is very excited to reveal his latest score; a somewhat purrfect grail piece for his collection!!

Then it's onto the bevy of DC announcements from James Gunn. What does it all mean and where do we all sit on it? Who is keen and drops the first F-bomb of the night? The answers might surprise you...

Today on the Toy Power Podcast we welcome back the very well-expressed Sean Fewster for an entertaining News heavy episode!  Reaction Shogun Figures have us measuring wingspans, Marvel legends have us questioning the accessories and a beautiful plug for the Marvel Squadron Supreme Comic Run.  We have hopes for a long anticipated TMNT figures debut and how can we possibly miss an episode without talking about more reveals from McFarlane Toys.  New Fan created 'Super Powers' Comics and MOTU Bearbricks.  Anthropomorphic Mice chewing tunnelling their way for a return, and rounding out the news, the concerning position that has made Hasbro layoff some of their work team.  Then switching gears, Sean has brought in his new Mondo HeMan Timed Exclusive that seems to be more of a puzzle or a Transformer than a Premium figure.  We go through the good and the very concerning issues in this spotlight.

Today on Toy Power, it’s time to look forward to 2023 and what lies beyond. But before that, just cause (most of us) were on holidays doesn’t mean the toy companies are! NECA do their traditional reveals while Boss Fight revive an 80s legend. Mattel do DEEP into the well for their new figure while Todd gives us the most maximum Batman there is. Also featuring Shaq, Tom Sellick, Sarah Jessica Parker and six-packs. And Ben answers the question on everyone’s lips: What does Thirty-Thirty look like?

In our final episode for 2022, Malcolm Hobbs and his extreme Transformers knowledge is back as we tackle the second of our famous Intraspectives. Legitimacy of the word aside, this one is all about those Robots in Disguise as we pick G1, Beast Wars, The Bayverse and Masterpiece as our toylines of focus. What do these toylines mean to us? Can we seperate the movie(s) from the toys themselves? In a juggernaut brand spanning many years, which lines hit or missed us? There's a couple of surprising scores throughout, the odd in-context swear word and even a GoBot or two... Strap in for this extended episode as you (and us!) learn more about the might Autobots and Decepticons than you ever thought possible.
