Toy Power Podcast

"It's the MOST wonderful time of the yearrrrr!" Who DOESN'T love SDCC? But even before we get to that, it's been a big week of toy news to cover. This party is packed with our best friends: Ultimates, Mythic Legions, 80s Commanders, The Todd and yuuuuge ThunderTank. And that's for starters! For the main event it's a buffet of goodies with Mattel providing the main course - so much MOTU that we know Darren would have beamed with pride! There's so much, we're gonna revisit the Con in a future ep!

Today on the Toy Power Podcast, it’s all about Producer Scot! He’s the man behind the show who keeps us all in line and IS the Toy Power engine room. Learn where he grew up, what he did, where he’s been and what life had in store for him. Find out the special bond that he and Darren had along with how his future wife made her intentions known! And how about that heartfelt advice… (I’m not crying, you are!) Trent stops by in audio format from his Brixpo escapades then we take a quick spin through an amazing time in television – Stranger Things, Obi-Wan and The Boys. Which one was your fave?

Today on the show we travel to the house of Producer Scot and we are Trent-less. We will talk about Mega-Construx if we want to and Mr Lego Master can't stop us! There's lots more in here though with new Ultimates, Turtles from a trio of different companies, Todd seemingly NOT touting his latest figure, Mattel shooting themselves in the foot, a LEGO creation we didn't know we needed, and is this the most successful HasLabs of all time?

At a time when Jurassic Park and Top Gun are dominating the box office, we thought it fitting to revisit an old episode with our resident 90s expert: The Master of Disaster and Hypercolor, Mr Davey Damaged. We talk all things Street Sharks, Terminator 2, Last Action Hero and even Super Mario Brothers the Movie. There's also a quiz from the mind of Darren so prepare for much bending of the rules in this throwback episode originally published in Sep of 2017.

It’s a crossover of sorts as our good friend and local podcaster Ben Rosenthal joins in the fun. While he calls himself a gamer he is very familiar with the collecting world : so much so, he teaches us about the history of Nintendo. A history that, actually begins in the world of toys. (Insert crowd shocked reaction here). Along the way there are botched trademarks, Jump Man, some AMAZING show and tells and more than a few blue jokes. Then it’s some Would You Rather as we put the hard word on Ben – Scot in particular! Go check out Hack the Dino on Twitch or Podcast format.

News day is here and it feels like it’s all targeting Bens wallet – Is this the Ultimate He-Man figure? Are these the coolest Dino figures in the last 10 years? Is this the best Black Adam figure ever? New Toxic Crusaders? A new Soundwave? An EXCLUSIVE Shredder figure? I mean, one man can only have so much money to spend… Meanwhile Funko makes a big play but what does it all MEAN Basil? We also review the amazing Creating G.I. Joe Vol 7 book by Dan Kilingensmith. This is THE source of anything Joe and he was kind enough to send us a copy.

Matt Teale sticks around for another episode this time run by, you guessed it, Matt Teale. He walks us through the world of Visionaries and his love for all things Hologram. Don't know much about it? Well be prepared to learn like we did but be sure to pay attention (UNlike how we did) as there is a quiz at the end! Matt's generosity knows no bounds as we play the most shambolic version of Pass the Parcel that would make any parent proud!

Lots of news demands an extended episode and a special guest - Give a big Toy Power welcome to Matthew Teal! Hailing from the Central Coast of NSW, Matt is a long time Pateron and chose to spend his 40th birthday with us at Adelaides Mega Toy Fair! But before we talk all things Toy Fair, there are a ton of new reveals to talk through not least of which come from Star Wars Celebration and the SDCC previews are starting to roll in! Ramen Toys tragic Matt gives us a run down on all their upcoming releases. Matt also surprises us with specifically picked gifts. Who got what?

Enter the competitive world of speed-cubing, knock-offs, alternative puzzle games and more. How has COVID impact the world or Cubing? We throw in a speed challenge vs Ben, a terrible band name and even Feet solving? Then we really take the brakes off and make Delcan choose – Who Do You Rather: Mum or Dad?
