Today on the ToyPower Podcast there’s new hotness from all our fave brands – and even some suprises as well. Is Hugh Jackman part of the Spawn-verse? Did you miss World Turtle Day too? Are we getting a certain blue news van AND new Toxic Crusaders? Trent learns that buying Transformers is like a can of Pringles – you can’t stop at one! There’s a Legends livestream to talk about and which reveal has Frank already thrown down for? Is this this tallest LEGO set ever? How many copies of a book does one really need Darren? Then it’s a brain-bending question that Frank throws out that leads us to wonder if there are actually any New Zealanders we haven’t claimed. Finally, Ben talks to his potential Toy-Room disaster and the journey to getting it fixed. Have no fear, it’s a good news story in the end!

Today on The Toy Power Podcast we understand with the great variety of Streaming Services; comes the requirement of time to watch them all!.....  So, in re-working & butchering that Spidey quote; we take a fairly non-spoiler look at four Super Hero based shows.  We cover what the show is about, what we personally think of the show & solidify the shows with a DVG rating out of 19.  But wait, there's more! We also let you know if there are any toys to coincide with the show!  Does the Disney Plus show - The Falcon & The Winter Soldier play things to safely; or is the 'Finger Waggle' enough to steal the show?  Second up is the animated series - Invincible - from Amazon Prime.  The voice acting alone is one of the many reasons to check this show out!  Certainly not a show for kids - but this show gets some pretty high scores by those in the room whom have seen it!!  Jupiter's Legacy - streaming on Netflix - is set in the 'MillerVerse' - with very similar power-sets seen in the Justice League - does this show tip the scales of over-saturation in the super hero genre?  Yasuke is our final show we spotlight - this Anime is streaming on Netflix & surprisingly is loosely based on real events of a Black Samari from the Feudal Japan era; with the added elements of super-natural abilities & such actually make this show is quite entertaining.  Our second segment is a classic: Show & Tell.  Ben brings in some spooky Skeleton Warriors, Frank has an Autobot with 6 transformation sequences, Darren has an adventurous Batgirl to showcase, & somehow Trent, missed the planned Vintage theme; but makes up for it with an unboxing of not one, but two new Mythic Legion characters!!  Be sure to let us know what you personally thought of each of the 4 shows we reviewed this ep!!

Today of the Toy Power Podcast; we are joined once again by special guest: Scot Menement.  He makes some unpleasant jokes in the beginning; but we quickly turn this concerning issue around into some great toy news topics!  At the top of our show; it's full steam ahead for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise; with discussions on Super7, Neca Cartoon reveals, the 1990 Movie and even some Mech Turtles!  Then it's over to our favourite barbarian line - Masters Of The Universe - with Shogun Crossovers & not one, but two new waves of Origins to chat about! Plus PowerCon 2021 Teaser Images that have us confused.  Off the back of that is Marvel News - with MCU trailers and a new toyline to back it up.  A dedicated Marvel Legends Disney Plus wave may spoil some things, but it looks so damn good regardless.  A few other News headlines, then a quick review of the first 4 episodes of Plastic Chats (by Guillermo Olivo); please drink to every time Ben says the word fascinating.....!  Also, a quick yak about the amazing Amazon series Invincible, that has just wrapped its first season (quite non-spoiler chat).  Rounding out the episode; is our own personal spin on the Adelaide Comic & Toy Fair!!  Fly-by visits, first time sales-men, Lego Masters, Pre-sellers and obsessions, are but some of the many many stories we have to share!!

Today on The Toy Power Podcast we continue from where we left off; with more of our Patreon Questions from a few episodes ago.  Then we flip over to Latest Scores with a really good chat about some big items, at the end of the ep.  Questions this episode include topics such as: the best advice on starting out collecting Vintage lines.  What might have been our first toy that we fell in love with?  You all know we love 80s toys; but what about our choice 80's Music?  If we could shrink down to play-size scale; what Toy Playset would we each choose to live in? - Warning - this gets a little wacky!!  What Toyline/s deserves their own cartoons?  What toys would we grab from our Toycollection, if our house was on fire?  Predictions of when the golden age of Modern versions of Vintage Toys will end; if ever?!  Then as promised a great segment on Latest Scores that includes (but not limited to), Neca Turtles gets quite a few shoutouts! Darren finally gets some key Neca Movie Figures! Trent chats about his Vintage Star Wars purchase; Ben gets some Batman Returns figures as well as an absolute Grail figure - the infamous Tyranno Shredder with special assistance from Gilly (Plastic Crack Documentary & Plastic Chats).  Frank gives a great overview of Unicorn!  Pros, Cons & transformation sequences.  But the most important question from this episode.... Has the T-Stop finally changed gears and back in motion again?  Find out on the new thrilling episode of TPP!!

All new hotness from local store Lobos, NECA, Hasbro’s FanFest, Mondo and even a clip from Ghostbusters: Afterlife. How many Ace Ducks is too many? Any guesses for the new HasLabs project?

Today on the Toy Power Podcast, it's an episode dedicated to Answering Questions!  So, to get things started we have an Ice Breaker examination, regarding Famous Voice Actors - who would you wish to interview?  Then we get into the main part of this episode, Answering our Patreon Powered Questions!  There are some real bangers in this session!  Queries such as: what would we hypothetically 'borrow' from each other's collection?  What Toylines post 1995 are our key choices, if there wasn't anything prior?   A super down to earth inquiry regarding what talent or skill set do we wish we had?  What did we have high hopes on, only to be ultimately disappointed about?  If we had our way, what Toylines are screaming for a big screen presence?  If the previous questions hadn't melted our brain, this next one certainly does - are we comfortable in collecting the same toys over and over again?  In the creative world; what Toys should be crossed over in both style & design?  One of the final questions we have is of the very Patriotic type - what Aussie media presence deserves a toyline?  And be sure to check out DVG where Ben chats with Casey & the highly intellegent Mr DaveyDamaged, about the 1995 Film: Judge Dredd!
