Toy Power Podcast

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we kick it off with a vintage toy retrospective; because we haven't had one of those for so long!?!  This retrospective topic is all about an 80's franchise - an original movie trilogy line - of which the 3rd film was ghosted when it came to the toys!  You guessed it; it's all about the Indiana Jones franchise!  "You call this archaeology?"  Trent puts on his Fedora & cracks the Whip as he speaks in detail about Indy's run with Kenner & then LJN; as well as the more modern run with Hasbro for Crystal Skull.  Yes, we actually go there too!  Was this the defining point of toy companies realising they must work closely with the movie producers?  Where the best toys made & produced or where they may be based on the boring bits?  What parts sharing for Harrison Ford were used between Indy & Star Wars??  Just how damn difficult was it to clear the peg warmers from this line - and did this circumstance actually have a lasting impact on the property for years to come?  Plus listen
