We might be a couple of members down, but that won’t stop us sending the news your way. In an all too familiar pattern, we mourn the loss of another pop-culture icon: may the Power Protect him, always. Of course there’s the usual players of Marvel Legends and More More McFarlane, but we get some unexpected reveals from the Masters at Mondo. And when we say we bring you the big stories, Super7 took it literally with a HUGE reveal! Then it’s Reading/Watching/Playing time and Ben takes reading to the next level with a great review of Blake Wrights latest’s works.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we have local legend DaveyDamaged back once again in the studio to help us cover a slightly different topic...  Yes, we love Action Figures and the Worlds & Stories built around them!  But what if we could keep those stories alive when eating breakfast, bathing or even at school??  This ep - we have a Show & Tell focus around Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Merchandise!  The rabbit hole is extremely deep; as we touch on Davey's vast collection of goodies!  Then in the second part of the ep; we chat about the latest MCU film: Black Panther 2 - Wakanda Forever.  How well does this film pivot from the tragic passing of it's lead actor between releases?  Is Namor given enough of an into?  Warning - we claim BP2 chat to be spoiler-free - but that turns out to not be the case really!   All this & more; plus the famous DVG rating out of 19 to really solidify what we all thought.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast we talk to the delightful Emily Lind!  With a spooky theme right from the start, you are in for a trick or treat!  The fun get to know you questions, and then it's time to shine some light on the amazing shrine that she has built around Peter Crushing.  A fascinating insight to the famous Grand Moff antagonist from Star Wars & how one builds a shrine on this character - but also a deeper look at his marvellous acting carrier.  Then we pivot into the world of Horror.  With Toy Company's at their peak - we are treated with an exciting or scary selection of items.  TV , Movie , Books as well as Comic Book shoutouts form every era imaginable.  We ask Emily to break-down how she as a horror fan - chooses her toys & what pops out to her; as well as a break-down of the difference between the films that are categorised as Universal & Hammer Horror.  We also ask the hard question - what would Emily like to see in the Horror genre from films in the future...  If you wish to hear more from the knowledgeable Emily - be sure to check out her Podcast: The Canto Bight Dispatch.

Today on the show, I'm not even on the show! Yes as I, Francis Ignatious Calixto Allan, sit here and write this, I can neither confirm nor deny the contents of this episode as, I simply wasn't there! But after having done this nearly 300 times, here's my speculation: Trent says something wise and outlandish, Ben says "100 percent" 80% of the time and Producer Scot, well he must have done something right because the audio got recorded! Is this what it's like for ya'll out there, listening to it for the first time? It's both surreal and exciting! I'm sure it will be a banger!

Coming in from the deep south today, we get some fire and brimstone as Producer Scot challenges us to come up with some Hot Takes facing the toy industry. Last time Frank got controversial on a beloved toyline, it became a bit of a thing, so strap yourselves in folks! But to even us out, out of the north, a swift cold front sweeps in direct from Canada. Thanks to our amazing friend Colin, we get to open a bunch of unsolicited gifts on air. If you want proof that people actually listen to what we say, go no further because the love and dedication put into this parcel goes beyond words. The guy even brought presents for our kids! MIND. BLOWN.

With PulseCon and NYCC reveals banking up, this was always gonna be a long, crazy episode. So crazy we forgot to tune Trents mic apparently! In this extended episode we cover it all from the usual suspects from Star Wars, Marvel Legends, DC Multiverse, Origins, NECA and Super7, but also the road less travelled with Nacelle, Mondo, Toho and too many more to name. We also unpack the recent closure of Aussie retailer BulletProof Villain and the fallout from it. Lastly, our hometown super-event The Adelaide Comic and Toy Fair gets a glowing recap as we talk tales, latest scores and hilarity from one epic day.
