Toy Power Podcast

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! Kome get some! Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on the Toy Power - it's a team of three; whilst Frank is not well.  But the show must go on; and what a combination of segments we have for you!  Toy News - out with the Rodent King & in with Lady Shredder!  The Celebration of Window Packaging, another wacky He-Man variant & a utility Belt to tie all the news together.  Then, our second segment finishes off the last couple of Patreon questions.  "Hit Or Shit" Movie reviews - how right or very wrong where we initially when we talked about the D&D + Super Mario Films?  Then rounding the out the ep, is a classic Latest Scores segment.  All this and a whole lot more!  Enjoy.  Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With Star Wars Celebration upon us we thought there was no better time than to have our long time Patreon, fellow collector and friend, Nick come join in the fun! A long time fan of all things Lucasfilm, Nic takes us through the latest reveals as well as his takes on the toy headlines of today: Super7 Joes, a crazy Spider-Wave, Madballs, DnD, Mortal Kombat and are these the most anticipated Turtles figs of all time? Nick also heralds the return of the The Quiz! As a child of the 80s this one zeroes in on all things film in 1986... How many did you get? (Probably more than us!) Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we serve you up quite the mixed bag of content.  Starting off with a lightning-fast Film Review.  Some cool stories from Frank; as well as a surprising pivot on his collecting journey!  Then it's a smorgasbord of Patreon questions that really get us scratching our heads.  Mount Rushmore of Toys, Weird Science conversation, who will we take on our journey for the ultimate toy quiz team-up?  Toy real-estate queries, missed opportunities on purchases, and who would we destroy - toy company wise?  And rounding out the ep, Indian in the Magic Cupboard question that is just plain fun to dream about!!  Plus, your last opportunity to reach out to Scotty for a segment suggestion.  Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ol’ mate Criss Fresh joins us once again and this time, he has the inside running on the upcoming TMNT Mutant Mayhem toyline! Thanks to Headstart Toys for putting on a show that we could send our roving reporter too! Fresh rubs shoulders with the very people who put the toys on our shelves and asks the hard-hitting questions like: where is Ben’s Shredder figure??? There’s some cool tales to be told and we know Darren would be loving this ToyPower exclusive info. Producer Scot then throws out the challenge where YOU can program your own episode of the show - with a prize to be won!Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What happens when Producer Scot fails to come up with exciting content for the latest episode of Toy Power? We turn to our amazing Patreons and ask them to cover out collective backsides. Our Patreons have delivered the goods and hit us up some hard-hitting questions. Is there a toy Heaven or Hell and what toys would we send there? Will we be collecting toys as geriatric senior citizens? Which Toy Power member would Trent choose as his Lego Masters partner?  Where the hell is Ben for this episode? We tackle these questions and many more in this exciting episode.Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s news day and boy oh boy there is MUCH to discuss. So much so we run a little bit over time and a lot of it, comes from one spicy topic. If you’re a fan of TMNT and have been following Super7, don’t miss this discussion! We also get our first look at some movie-based toys from The Todd, Seth Rogens new Turtles film and an onslaught of Marvel Legends. And did we mention one of the team is BACK on TV again? We also talk Funko, but not in a good way…Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We might be a couple of members down, but that won’t stop us sending the news your way. In an all too familiar pattern, we mourn the loss of another pop-culture icon: may the Power Protect him, always.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we have local legend DaveyDamaged back once again in the studio to help us cover a slightly different topic...  Yes, we love Action Figures and the Worlds & Stories built around them!  But what if we could keep those stories alive when eating breakfast, bathing or even at school??  This ep - we have a Show & Tell focus around Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Merchandise!  The rabbit hole is extremely deep; as we touch on Davey's vast collection of goodies!  Then in the second part of the ep; we chat about the latest MCU film: Black Panther 2 - Wakanda Forever.  How well does this film pivot from the tragic passing of it's lead actor between releases?  Is Namor given enough of an into?  Warning - we claim BP2 chat to be spoiler-free - but that turns out to not be the case really!   All this & more; plus the famous DVG rating out of 19 to really solidify what we all thought.
