Toy Power Podcast

There is some great, weird and just plain crazy news to talk through today. Have Hot Toys jumped the shark? Is Ben about to drop $1500 on a Soundwave? More Mondo, more Blokees and of course, More Todd. Franks TMNT collection lacks a life size element - could this change soon? Then we compare the newly released Origins Fright Zone with the vintage one - which in itself gives Scot the fright of his life!

This Week on Toy Power Podcast; we once again have Canadian local: Colin Betts present in the studio!! Leaning on Colin's expertise around all things G.I. Joe; we are having another Fun round of THE TEAM! This round specifically targeting The Enemy: Cobra! Narrowing our selection even further, Toy characters released only between the years of 1982 & 1987. Highlighting the Classic Team tributes of: Leader, Muscle, Specialist, Wheelman & of course a Vehicle too. Voting on who makes the cut once all submissions are shouted out. Then we attack our next topic; Toy Catalogues!   Another one of Colin's passion projects; & Ben presents him with his own small collection of only Two Australian Catalogues; that funnily enough Colin doesn't own!! A fun discussion around Catalogues in general & what makes them so appealing!

This Week on Toy Power Podcast; we welcome Canadian local: Colin Betts to our home town; as he celebrates his overseas Holiday trip!  Kicking off the episode, we chat towards the Tron HasLab project - that obliviously is drowning.  An exciting expansion to our Powers Of Grayskull - Masters Of The Universe Collection - with the addition of the Wolf Character: Red Shadow.  Plus an incredible achievement from the crew of 'Yes Have Some' / 'Toy Anxiety' Podcast; as they reveal their much anticipated Kickstarter: Cryptoids - Mothman.  The first of hopefully many figures in this unique Toyline.  Then we hear directly from Colin about his travels thus far.  A interesting comparison on the Retail front of what offerings one finds outside of their own Country too!  Then, its a flurry of Gift-Giving!  It feels like Christmas Day; with the amount of gifts shared around the table; and we are all incredibly thankful for the genorosity!  Thankyou Colin!!

In honor of 420, its time to look at some of the weirdest, and wackiest toys ever designed. You really have to wonder, what were they on when coming up with some of this stuff. From poorly thought out labels to accidental nightmare fuel, child endangerment and even a pre-cursor to Siri - combined with, water? Then it's another edition of The Team from the wonderful world of TMNT - but ONLY the Turtle variants. And the choices are not as simple as you might think!

This week on the Toy Power Podcast; we are still sending 'Get Well' Cards to Trent, as he unfortunately misses this ep.  But that won't slow us down; as Scot has a fantastic rundown on the Greatest Star Wars Movie - that never was!  Yes - the infamous 'Shadows Of The Empire!'  Famously worked into 'cannon' between the Original Films of: Empire Strikes Back & Return Of The Jedi.  This wasn't just a Story or a Comicbook series - this was a Multimedia Project that also spanned into a Soundtrack, Video Games and of course a self-titled line of Toys!  Was, or is this, the biggest Movie that never was?!  Then keeping in the same similar theme of Movies; we transform into another round of The Team!  With this round focusing on the Autobots that where released in 1986 (The Movie Year).  This was a lot of fun!  But we would love to hear some future ideas for The Team Comp - as we are starting to run out of ideas!  Thanks, and as always - Enjoy!

From one of the globe to the other, there is no shortage of cool cool stuff to talk about! NYCC kicks off with a bang and even without Trent in the room, there is still much future money to be spent. Has Mondo become the next big thing? Playmates kicking absolute goals? A figure NEVER before seen in Marvel Legends? Closer to home we recap the always amazing Adelaide Comic and Toy Fair put on by the radical Brett and amazing Sarah. Great scores, great hangs and just so much fun as always!
