Ben is still recovering so the three Musketeers are at it again. Scot takes us on a trip across the galaxy and comic book history as we look at what might just be the first ever comic book crossover super team. Avengers? Justice League? Never heard of em. Make mine: Defenders of the Earth. These guys are so old school, Scot has to explain where the term "Pulp" Action Heroes comes from! Going a little less further back in time, Trent debuts a new segment called "From the Archives" where we delve into the mind of 1990s Toyfare Magazine writers to see just what they were smoking. And much like the 90s itself, things are a little, funky. We also preview another new segment and some of our upcoming international travels! It's all happening! Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For a week when there "wasn't much going on", there's still plenty to talk about! Mattel seem to have worked out the livestream formula. Frank is possibly out on one line of Turtles - but in deep trouble with another! Todd does Todd things while Gatchaman makes some waves. Is Scot on the hook for a second Hot Toys figure? We then recap the grand finale of our good friends at Radical Rewind who go out on possibily the best sequel of all Time. Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
