Toy Power Podcast

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we are joined by a Spin Master Gab!  With our regular get-to-know-you questions out of the way; we move onto our main topic around Raffles, Waffles, Razz or whatever name it takes, to fly under the social media guidelines.  So what is a Waffle?  (Cause Scotty doesn't know!)  What does it take to make a successful Raffle?  What doesn't work too is quite interesting too! Then we spin the discussion around; and touch base on what sub-category of the TMNT Franchise is Gab into the most?  How does such a huge TMNT fan like Gab focus his collecting habits too?  Overall, this was an intriguing conversation on many levels.  Enjoy.Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, its another full on News session; as we kick it off with a chat about the new Star Wars Asoka Show - what are we missing?  Then it genuinely seems that Todd McFarlane himself has filled our Runsheet with his upcoming reveals and announcements!  But can you believe that we are discussing more characters, from the DC Universe, than just Batman himself!  Yes, its a pretty cool mix... with some Batman too of course.  Then we move over to some really neat news from Ramen Toys.  Ace, announces a new Diorama set in the works plus a bomb shell statement on who has the rights for a certain 80's property....  Then in rounding out the episode, we circle back to a Question initially put forward by Master Fresh; of which - What is the great toy lie you are telling yourself this year?  Whilst we attempt to recall our initial answers to that question from 6months ago; we mostly seem to have all but broken the rules; except for Frank.  Well done sir!  All this and more!  Enjoy!Support the

Davey sticks around and is here to carry the show as we delve into the world of 80s cartoons. Ready your sugar-high cereal, blanket and remote-less TV as we prepare to park it on the shag-pile brown carpet and relive our favourites. Which cartoon had too much singing in it? Best intro? Best voice and music? Is Scot’s childhood dependence a little too much? All the controversial opinions are here. Does Ren and Stimpy hold up? Ben reports in. Then Colin Betts delivers the good - literally - from far off Canadia in classic style.Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast; we have the Legendary man himself; back to poke fun at everything we say!  Yes; Master DaveyDamaged is in the studio to help us get through all the latest news.  Not too much regular news to cover, as their where obviously so much announced from SDCC; but now with some early reveals from PowerCon; we easily fill an entire episode!  Vehicle Voltron, more from Batman 66, Marvel Legends & a blank customisable figure.  Flocked Panthor, Silver Hawks & Cow Boys of Moo Mesa?!?  Then we take a look at the reveals from PowerCon!  TMNT Sewer Dio, Premium DNA & Thunder Cats Pipeline. Plus closer to home, Ultimate Figure Protection Launches their website!  A very fitting tribute from Action Figure Adventure to round out the episode.  Enjoy!

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we are taking it very easy.  We are honestly still quite worn out from the excitement & partying that came from the previous SDCC episode!  However, we are quite excited to announce our Seventh Birthday!  We have an exciting social media trend we wish you to be a part of too.  Then we shine the lime-light onto our latest scores.  Seems a very nice mix of Modern items, & not one of us can stick to just one item, we all share multiple scores.  Then a round table discussion about what we are all Reading, Playing, Watching.  So sit back, as we kind of phone it in this ep; but still have some very interesting points to discuss.  Enjoy.Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we have a MASSIVE show organised for you!  As we attempt to cover almost all the wonderful news & reveals from the juggernaut that is San Diego Comic-Con!  We have a small batch of Pre-Con news, and then we get stuck into the Con headlines - breaking them down into Company Brands.  Kicking off with Mattel, (with a bonus breakdown from Criss Fresh on all things Wrestling); then Super7, Mondo, Nacelle, Neca, Hasbro, McFarlane & Mezco.  We have not one, but two "Shut-Up-And-Take-My-Money!" sizzle reels!   Then we rate the overall Companys display presence against each other - who was the overall best in our opinion?  Plus an interesting convo about if we even missed the Hollywood cinematic side of things this year?  This is probably our longest episode to date; so strap in as we break it all down for you!

We’re not QUITE at SDCC yet, but that doesn’t stop the usual suspects dropping all their exclusives in what feels like Christmas in July. We revisit a pair of crowd funded projects – with wildly different results. ThunderCats fans rejoice (or cry depending on your financial outlook) cause there is some BIG confirmations here… The Todd keeps doing Todd things but has he peaked with arguably THE definitive Batman figure? Who is the new Supergirl actor, according to Hot Toys anyways. (Yikes) Mondo bring the heat with some great new MOTU and BTAS offerings before we dive into the current Hollywood strike situation and just what does it mean for some of our favourite upcoming projects. All this PLUS a true (toy) tragedy that unfolds live on air for Producer Scot.Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we have fellow local Aussie, Glenn Pluck join us to chat about his awesome side business: Ultimate Figure Protection!  We ask him the usual 'Get to know you Questions' as well as, how one starts this kind of venture.  Overall, a remarkably interesting conversation about protecting precious toys.  Glenn's turn around with his requests is amazing, almost as impressive as his variety too!  Glenn has the market covered with protective Acrylic Cases for dozens of various Toylines of all shapes & sizes, including some playsets and large vehicles too!  With exciting plans for a one-stop-shop website in the works among other things; Ultimate Figure Protection is a name to watch out for!!  Plus, we touch on Latest Scores from all parties too, with a nice little surprise gift from Glenn too.   To find more about Ultimate Figure Protection & what Glenn has to offer:Facebook: Ultimate Figure ProtectionInstagram: @Ultimate_Figure_Protectionemail: sales@ultimatefigureprotection.c

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we are only a trio; but the show must go on right!  So we kick things off by checking in on the GI Joe HasLab campaign; this continues to be quite successful; whilst other Jurassic Campaigns have us doubtful...  McFarlane showcases off two very unique SuperMen; & what is with these Thundercat's Cat Lair teases?!?!  Can it really be done?  An announcement of the black & white Space Usagi, followed up by another Transformers X GIJoe Crossover combination.  Then we pivot to reviewing the new Playmates TMNT Mutant Mayhem figures.  We are all unanimously impressed by certain figures; & certainly blown away by all the included accessories!  All this & more; enjoy!Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we have Colin Bett's back again; to help us break down the wonderful 90's ToyBiz toy line.  A discussion starting with only Scot, Ben & Colin; but later on in the ep, we may have some extra voices join us....  We have a deep discussion about the ToyBiz Toy line that really fleshed out the diverse roster of the Marvel Universe!  Spawning multiple sub-toy lines, different scales and a variety of vehicles & playsets to boot!!  Action features, colours, vac metal and articulation; plus, insight and discussion into figures that never were never made!   Then we pivot from Marvel to DC; as we do a fairly broad, spoiler-free chat about the new The Flash film.  Does it live up to the hype?  How can we not compare it back to Marvel?!?  Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today there is lots of news to chat too - and 80% of it seems to be Turtles related! So don't expect to hear much from Producer Scot today! But there's also the newest Haslab reveal (blink and you'll miss it) some new Marvel Legends (which one is in Scot's basket?), The Todd gets another license and is Ben about to collect a new line? What makes us revisit the Shredders Revenge game?

This week on the Toy Power Podcast; we challenged ourselves like never before!  The crossover event of our careers!  So please look forward to a Quiz show devised from Matt Teale'o; with participants from Dave's Video Graveyard & Geek Dudes; pitched against the Toy Power Team. This is actually Part Two of our crossover with good friends DVG and GeekDudes. If you’re wondering what happened to Part One; you’re not alone. I think Davey said it best, that when eight podcasters all yell at the same time, while chaotic and fun in places, it doesn’t necessarily make for good listening. On review, our decision to remove the PG filter wasn’t the right call either. Darren once said “Toy Power should be for everyone” and Part One simply didn’t fit that mantra - so it won’t be released. So for now, enjoy this family friendly quiz Battle Royale between us & our good mates. Please be sure to give a Listen & Follow to:- Fresh & Dirty Uncle Mitch on the Geek Dudes Podcast- Dave & Casey on the Dave's Video

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we travel back to "a long time a ago, in a Galaxy far, far away...." to bring you the entertainment juggernaut that is: Star Wars!  In order to break this all down, we have resident expert Nick Greenslade, back in studio to help us out with this Inraspective episode.  So, this round, we are honing our focus into just three of the many sub-categories of the Star Wars toylines.  Those being: Vintage Kenner, 90's Power Of The Force & The Modern Black Series Toylines.  What do each of them to us personally, and how do we rate them overall?  We have a rough aim usually of an hour-long ep; but this episode blows that time limit out of the water!  This episode's focus is released to tie-into the honoured May the 4th timeline.  "This is the way!"Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

RE-ISSUE - Originally published Nov 2017. =============Prepare for the slickest, most foolproof intro you've ever heard. Seriously, it's flawless. Trent loves it. We then delve in the Kenner toyline of M.A.S.K - Mobile Armored Strike Kommand. But not before we attempt to sing our way into your minds... Not sure if this segment will gain or lose us listeners! We look at the cartoon, the comics and of course the mighty toys of this wonderful line. Is there a chance it will be rebooted for the modern era? Next comes the Vintage Toy Awards including, the best modern Lego set. But are Frank and Ben psychically linked? There's also our latest scores to make you all jealous!
