Originally Published in 2018 Today on the Toy power Podcast its our Halloween House of Horrors special! And what makes an episode more special than our favourite guest and self-confessed expert at scaring kids, Mr Davey Damaged! We look at the spookiest, creepiest and down0right disturbing toys every produced. From the glory days of the 80s with Warrior Beasts, Skeleton Warrors and Aliens, through to the modern era dominated by the likes of McFarlane and NECA. We then branch out into some of our favourite Halloween episodes from TV-land. Simpsons, Goosebumps, Scooby-Doo and even Supernatural. Working our way out of the spooky-land we answer some fan questions including how would we handle a Monsters in Pocket/Mighty Max reboot line, and a virtual wish-list of what figures we want from our fave modern toylines. Safety warning for this episode: Trent likes to lure girls into bathrooms, Ben likes to scare his future-wife with Gremlins and Davey does a creepy good Trent impression in one of our more memorable outros.Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We each have 5 votes each, with rules of no double-ups and no calling out the same character each from a franchise. This is another great run-down and suprisingly diverse too.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we have special guest Criss Fresh back to join us for another fun new segment. This round we each pick a multi-year spanning Vintage Toyline & then narrow it down to what wee each personally believe was it's best year. Spinning out of the choices are: Frank picks: 1986 Hasbro G1 Transformers. Fresh goes with: 1990 Hasbro WWF. Ben leans on his nostalgia & brings back all the memories of 1989 Playmates TMNT. Then Trent decides to chat about the 1988 Kenner Real Ghostbusters Toyline. With each of our choices, we look at what was released during that period and how it compared to the rest of the Toylines Run. This was a lot of fun to analyse. Then we round out the with a classic Latest Scores chat. Enjoy!Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Toy Power we are joined by the legendary Fresh. First up its an amazing Canadian themed gift box from Colin Betts and some genuinely amazing goodies including one very special custom! Its then into all the news, including the HasLab Cantina funding update, Garfield and Friends, an Ultimate D&D Tiamat (complete with all 5 heads) and new comic Kull and Conan figures! Fresh then gives us some good news for getting your hands on wrestling figures in Australia (and good news for your wallet too). There's new video game figures from Spin Master, and then a tonne of TMNT news starting with a totally NOT Bebop figure, a 1:12 Collective Casey Jones (already sold out), the long awaited Tatsu figure from the 1990 TMNT movie (but why is he red?) and Karai as the Shredder (Fresh's cosplay of choice). Fugitoid is relegated to an accessory in the Last Ronin accessory pack, and then we a get (more) naked Mikey (come on, they are always kind of naked anyhow). Rounding it out with some1988 Michael Keaton figures from Beetlejuice before we get excited from the new Captain America film. Then all the SDCC 2024 exclusives, including one reveal that is, lets just say, not well received. Mikey's Pizza delivery business may just have to be done on Foot!!!!Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast we have our very knowledgeable Guest: Floppy; back in studio with some proper get-to-know-you Questions. Then we MASK-UP as we sing our way into the mid-eighties Toyline that was M.A.S.K. from Kenner. We each pick out a standout release from each wave. This is incredibly fun, as some of us in the room aren't as familiar with the Toyline as others. This is where Floppy's general passion for this property really comes though! Then rounding out the ep, we have a unique un-boxing to do - with an in-hand Ramen Toys - Makina Labs - Red Gullwing. How does it compare to it's eighties counterpart?
