Toy Power Podcast

Today it’s news day and we are Trent-less – Enter the Brett! His hair and voice are almost a match only with 1000% more comics! There’s some surprises from Hasbro, a cool cool Leo figure to tempt the hell out of Frank but the bulk of our chat comes down to price. Be it massive LEGO sets, super cheap Batmobeasts and at the other end, a crazy HasLabs project that has already courted controversy.  Are Americans finally feeling the pinch of $50 six-inch figures? Oh and was there something about Deadpool that happened this week? Hear Frank’s crazy plot theory. Brett then brings the pre-Toy Fair hype with some wonderful gifts.

It's time for us to spotlight the Wild World of Wrestling!  To help us shout out the correct information; we have the Ring-Master man himself: Mr Criss Fresh!  After a little bit of local toy aisle chats, we get to the crux of how wrestling became the juggernaut that it is known to be.  Through the eyes of Fresh, how did Wrestling hit his radar as a kid.  A captivating story of Fresh following Wrestlemania through TV & Tape trading's, plus all the schoolyard banter - then the natural progression onto toys.  Fresh Smacks Down the facts & memories of indestructible LJN figures & their off-shoot bendy counterparts too.  The discovery of WWF Hasbro figures & their great sculpts!  The realisation that some of these 'Green-back' figures did not get a wider world release - but are quite plentiful in Australia!  Galoob & ToyBiz toylines featuring WCW characters & Jakks Pacific covering WWF.  Poppy covering the Japanese Wresting series & Remco spotlighting the AWA Federation.  Original San Fransico Toy Makers covering the WCW & ECW.  Then that new age era...  The 'PG' era of Wrestling.  Quickly followed by an Inverted Atomic Drop.... Mattel enters the Ring & takes home the Championship Belt in the Toy Aisles; & not forgetting that CharaPro winning over in the East, under their New Japan Wrestling toyline.  All this & more!  A genuinely energetic chat about not only about one man's History with Wrestling Toys, but the passion to the Ring & it's very Famous Inhabitants.  This could just be; the Best their is, the Best there was & the Best there ever will be!!!

It sure is LIFE SIZE. And lets not forget all the chat coming out of D23 – Thunderbolts, trailers, blasts from the past. And yes – we chat about THAT spitting incident!

This week on the Toy Power Podcast; Scot introduces a brand new segment called: Intraspective!!  But in deciphering the meaning behind it, does Ben spoil the future of this topic?  Anyhow, this is a chat about a large property - this time being focused on our beloved Masters Of The Universe.  We chat to four (out of the many), toylines that have made a huge mark on our lives in one way or another.  Vintage, 200X, Classics & the on-going Origins Toylines.  What makes them each so special, key releases as well as a DVG rating out of 19.   This was a really fun ep to record, hope you enjoy listening to it!

It’s news day and we bring the weird and wonderful to you! But first we hear about Scot’s guest appearance on DVG and – Weird is right word! McFarlane brings the heat this time while we get stuck on the Mickey Mouse aspect of GI Joe. Then there’s MOTU controversy as Ramen toys get in on the action while we debate Mattel’s latest entry to the Origins line. But on the subject of weird, I think we have a new winner for a What-The Crossover!  And just when you thought the average wait time for figures couldn’t get anymore crazy – here comes a new challenger! Finish it up with some latest scores and sneak peak at a potential future score by the devious Scot.

We wanna be the very best – like no one ever was. But to do that, we need someone to help show us the power inside. And who better than the Master Battler, Scotty The Toy Hunta! This guy is so dedicated, he wrote us our own guide to all things Pokemon! Learn the very start of this mega-franchise from the creators upbringing, to the cards, the games and of course the toys. It’s all here in Scotty’s brain and we have exclusive rights to open up this Pokeball of knowledge. Scotty even gifts us some Pokemon goodies – but there’s a catch! There will be challenges along the way, with courage we will face. We do battle in a quiz, to claim our rightful place! So come with us, the time is right: there’s no better team. Find it all Scot’s website – it’s always been his dream! He teaches us and we’ll teach you – PO-KE-MON!

We finally get around to all the SDCC news that was literally being announced when we last recorded. And yes, Franks silly statement from a couple of weeks ago comes back to bite him. Super7 gives Scot a figure he never knew he needed, while The Toddfather starts out with some 90s vibes. There’s some great reveals from GI Joe land and a big tease for the next HasLabs project. Then its movie/tv reveals and we go down the rabbit hole talking about what the future of the MCU looks like. All this, and the best Patrick Stewart joke you’ll hear this year!

This is one helluva Jaw-some episode - It's the first of many puns in this hilarious ep with our good friend Sam Cripps. He takes us through his love for the 90s juggernaut Street Sharks. From the iconic packaging, the pun-tastic names, the 90s fashion and of course what could have been with unreleased greatness. As part of his research Ben stumbles upon some seriously obscure spin-offs and the price tag will shock you. Then it's off to New Asgard as we take a look at the latest MCU entry with Thor Love and Thunder!
