Toy Power Podcast

What do Captain Kirk and Two-Face have in common? Now that I have your attention: Today the team cover all the news out of NYCC and boy is there plenty of it! From a multitude of Masters news, delightful Disney figs, terrific Transformers, brilliant Batman pieces, juicy Jurassic Park stuff and much much more. We also covered some of the big trailer news from mega-Franchises of Star Wars and Justice League. We also delve int a forgotten gem of a toyline - The Golden Girls. And no, we don't mean Betty White...  Oh and porgs - all the porgs.

A very special guest from the far-off-land of the United States joins the Toy Power Team - the one and only Charles McFall! We find out just what it takes to be a RockGod of Podcasting as Charles runs through all his geek-related shows and the GSTU network at large. Today we also shine the Character Spotlight onto the mighty Princess of Power, She-Ra! Who is better - Teela or She-Ra? Is there a new She-Ra in the works? Trent then also tries to confuse us with another brain-bending quiz in this hilarious and slightly-extended-fun-filled episode!

In todays episode, we travel down the rabbit hole of Frank's brain. Be afraid folks, be very afraid... In the hot seat Frank attempts to answer all the questions the team have for him. Can he provide an answer that DOESN'T relate to Turtles? Why is Leo his favorite? What is the logic behind Frank's display? Once Frank tires out, we move onto another rendition of the Vintage Toy Awards, including a controversial question: Best Toyline of 1989! How did we vote?

Today the team revisit two glorious parts of our past - the 90s and some of the memorable toylines, plus friend of the show and returning special guest Davey Damaged! We cover the lines that made the 90s what it is : Street Sharks, Terminator 2, Last Action Hero and even Super Mario Bros. No not the Nintendo characters, the 90s movie.... #sorrynotsorry. If you've ever wondered where all the pun-names in existance come from, wonder no more! And of course no Davey episode would be complete without a brain bending quiz from our own Riddler Darren. Can you guess who wins? DING!

Today the team covers any and all news spinning out of PowerCon. He-Ro, Eldor, Granitor Man-E-Faces - but TrapJaw without a jaw?? *confused face* We also cover the celebrations of Star Wars Force Friday and World Batman Day which has been hijacked by Harley Quinn! A new Hellboy you say??? There's even some news about Batman TAS figures which Chris Wisdom may find VERY interesting... Oh and Hasbro show off a pre-matrix Optimus Prime. Round that off with a very long 2-minute pitch on 80s classic Bravestarr. Dang, is there a property we HAVEN'T covered here? *Phew*

Just like the Toy Power Podcast may feel like a cheap, hastily compiled imitation of a real Podcast, bootlegs find a way of attracting customers too. They often grace the pegs of undiscerning retailers and cheap stores alike. From the weeping TigerMan (beg for mercy, TigerMan... BEG!), to the Sense of Right Alliance, bootlegs can be a forgotten part of our childhood memories. 

But perhaps there is more to this topic than meets the Robo-Changer-Heroes eye. No longer simply producing combinations like He-Man in NFL attire or cheap, inferior copies of the real deal, bootlegs have in some instances evolved into high quality copies, virtually indistinguishable from their genuine counterparts. The rise of 3rd Party, including legions of "Transformers", are becoming more readily available. Does this trend simply fill a hole left by some toy companies? A way of market testing certain products? Or is it slightly more sinister in that it directs money away from official licence holders, potentially damaging future viability of official releases? "On the charge of death of a toy-line we find the defendant... INNOCENT!" 

Bootlegs can be a divisive topic with strong views from some Collectors. Join the Toy Power lads as they dissect, give it a bath, and then reassemble this topic.
