Toy Power Podcast

This week on the Toy Power Podcast the boys cover New York Comic-Con 2019. Start spreading the news... the previously teased NECA Triceraton gets a full reveal, and he’s big! But is there something strange about his face? And who remembers this version anyway? And which Loot Crate exclusive was made speicifally with Frank in mind? Clue... it involves meditation, fire and a talking rat. Frank then schools Trent on the differences between MK1 and MK2 Raiden, effortlessly ignoring Trent's incorrect notes like a true professional. It's then onto DC and who knew Chris O’Donnell’s Robin had such a strangely shaped... package. But how screen accurate is it you ask? Find out this in-depth analysis (note there no discussion on the pros and cons of rubber nipples in sight). It’s then over to Force Friday and all things Star Wars... and how much extra are you willing to pay to buy toys in-store? As long as they come complete with condescending quip from shop assistant we should be all good! And has PowerCon been given the Mattel seal of approval? So hit play, close your eyes, and if an iridescent painted Master Splinter comes to you In a vision, just go with it!

This week on the Toy Power Podcast we take a look at DC latest animated film Batman: Hush. Who is Hush? Well, he's a good guy to have with you in a cinema if the boys in the back row are causing a ruckus! Also good in a library! But is the twist as you remembered it? And in a world where you have to suspend believability, will Ben buy it? We then jump into Show and Tell, as Ben, Trent, and Darren all bring in a special toy from their collection (one of them was even purchased on a honeymoon! Mad respect!). One of the coolest Two-Face figures ever conceived (okay, even if it was all a dream!), a pilot duck who needs four arms to pilot his spaceship AND shoot bad guys at the same time, and a transforming Bruce Wayne who even wore a batman logo around the offices of Wayne Enterprises, because that's not suspicious at all! Then it's over to Reading Watching Playing for an in-depth look at what the guys have been getting up to in their spare time away from toys! Its all packed in there! Even a shoutout to the Burial Park Frontman himself, Mr Rich Rampage. Do yourself a favor and check them out at: https://www.reverbnation.com/burialpark !

Today on the Toy Power Podcast its Power-Con baby! All the news from the Masters of the Universe convention *live from Anaheim California! And it's all coming up ULTIMATES! Who exactly did the Four Horsemen Studios use as inspiration from the original MOTU Classics buck? (hint: Down! Up! Down! Up! More Energy!) How many weapons, weapons-racks, heads, hands, and accessories does $10 really get you? And they got Mysterio's Jake Gyllenhaal to write Kevin Smith's cover story for why he was really at Power-Con! (interviewing Rob David? Come on! People will believe anything these days!) Then the boys jump into all the latest toy news including Hasbro's goal to remove all plastic from packaging by2022! No, don't worry! Optimus Prime won't be built out of those leftover shipping cartons. And even though Ewoks may have been George Lucas's Gungun's of the 1980's, Hot Toys have possibly made them one of the coolest toys on offer today! (So meessa gonna be popular-doo-doo in 2040?) And find out which movie sequel (or 4) we are getting, and ask yourself, do we really need them. All of them! So put on your flares, comb your afro just right, and put on your disco shoes because if this episode doesn't get you dancing, nothing will!

*by live we mean a week after the event with no actual Toy Power members at the event. But maybe next year...

This week on the Toy Power Podcast the boys take a look at the history of Mortal Kombat toys. (Hey! Teacher! Leave our spelling ALONE!) From its humble beginnings as a spin-off G.I. Joe line, it's been home to many different toy manufacturers over the years (Including Toy Island, who sung that hilarious song about being on a boat, right!?!?). There has been some wonderful toy lines over the years, but only one really lets us recreate all those gory Fatalities. Its then time to see who will make the cut in the new Mortal Kombat movie! Will Davey make the grade, or does he need to get a few more tatts? It's then over to the next installment of "Questions from the Internet," where we answer YOUR questions! We take a look at MOC preservation, scalpers and our best op shop finds! Ben then does his best Nostradamus to bring you all a prediction that will make the hairs on your neck stand on end. A Ben "tingle" you might say? What is it? And will it come true... only time will tell. The lads then round it out with some very heartfelt words to the "engine room" of Toy Power, as he embarks on one of  lifes most magical journey's outside of this hobby. Many glasses of top-shelf Scotch were consumed in the making of this episode. Cheers!

This week on the Toy Power Podcast the Boys take a look at the hit Amazon Prime TV series; The Boys. The "must-see" show adapts Garth Ennis's cult comic book series of the same name into a Black Comedy for the ages. Nothing is off-limits, and its as if Davey helped the screenwriters with the dialogue for this show. Whilst everyone likes holding hands with their significant other, this sheds a whole new light on that concept. From talking lobsters to mid-air "rescues", it's all here (even dolphins can fly... although stopping moving trucks is best left to the Amazons). Then it's then over to YOUR questions, as the TPP crew answer all those toy collecting questions; whose collection would you swap with if you had the chance, what was the first toy you bought with your own hard-earned cash and which company would you get to make your favorite toys! And some questions just seem a little self-indulgent... but we always like to indulge. Even if it leads to a shameless plug.
