Then Trent decides to chat about the 1988 Kenner Real Ghostbusters Toyline.

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?

It's the other (better?) half of our fave Canadian duo - Jay Bartlett! He's here to talk about the upcoming release of N64 Quest, the highly anticipated sequel to the much loved Nintendo Quest. What are the rules this time around? Time crunch, budget pressure - how does Jay handle it? We've been granted special access to watch the first ep - no spoilers here but oh boy, we are in for a treat.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we reflect on our efforts from the big 350th ep. Can't thank everyone enough for all the banter on the various socials we received. Now its back to normal proceedings, as we start to increase on the episode numbers again! First news is centered around a Tribute via TMNT of Jack Kirby. Mondo drop a few bombs with their recent reveals of a 1/6 Thundercats line as well as 6.5" Real Ghostbusters line-up too! But that's not all, a teaser of the MOTU SkySled is incredible.

Long time Patreon Morgan joins us to look at what happening in the world of toys. He's so keen that Frank forgets how to tune a microphone - apologies for the audio issues! There's a slew of Marvel Legends and more Makina - but which colour is our fave? Is this the best version of Cringer Mattel has ever done? Is Beast Man lacking the furry factor? Ben has a cow over the newly revealed Moo-Mesa figures before we look at what appears to be the swan song of The Masterpiece line. Then a quick Reading/Watching/Playing where we plug our latest Patreon initiative, The Toy Power Book Club!

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we continue to delay the milestone 350th ep. However, we still have a fun new show for you all! Frank has just received his Super 7 Ultimates TMNT Party Wagon and brought it along to review on the show. It is equally very very large, and incredibly detailed. We break down all the features as well as the other items that are packed into this Vehicles release. Then 2nd segment is all around the Movies that have already been released thus far. We go around the room and see who has seen what - with a little chat on each as well as a rating out of 19. Movies include: Argyle, Dune 2, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, Godzilla X Kong & Madame Webb.

This week on The Toy Power Podcast, its just the dynamic duo again; Trent & Ben. This round, we kick things off with a kind of a new segment that we pitch a vintage toy against its modern counterpart version. The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly. Trent got so excited, he brought several options to the table. So we have Green Ghost (aka Slimmer), Power Arm Terminator, Stilgar from Dune, Ming the Merciless from Flash Gordon & also Lion-O from Thunder Cats as well. Some we also have a 3rd option to chat to as well. Then rounding out the ep we chat to the first two episodes of the highly anticipated X-Men 97' Cartoon!

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we do a classic retrospective best of vote! But this time, instead of one big line; we select from three smaller lines, and vote accordingly. This in turn causes some confusion at the start, but we sort ourselves out; and get the votes right eventually! Sectuars, Silverhawks & Bravestarr are the challenges for this round, and it proves hard or sometimes overwhelming what gets our vote for each round. Then we pivot across to an extremely generous Mystery Box delivered to the studio from fellow Patreon member: FireFly_81 aka Micheal. Mad appreciation champ!!Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a Marvel heavy episode, there's some controversial Mattel moves that are very not-rock-n-roll. The Todd makes a face that not even a mother could love while the Legends team somehow make two different He-Mans. And is that Battle Cat I see? Why is Wolverine in blue? But it's all ok - because the best of all time Rogue is here. A record breaking mini-fig and all the Marvel on-screen reveals. Then we look at possibly the greatest wave of TMNT Ultimates - ever?

As we enter 2024, we look forward to a number of movies coming out and use our crystal ball to predict: Hit or Shit? From some practically unknown films to stuff that we just know is gonna suck (coughSONYcough), we don't hold back. Only one film gets solid 18/19s from us all and there's a big split on another. Trent takes us on a virtual tour of his revamped toy room. Go find the footage on our socials because it has to be seen to be believed.

A clear theme of Villains and Females is shouted out, but still a great and diverse roster that could see this line go-on for many waves!

This episode is full of bombs. Both the explody-Universal Studios type ones, and the box office flops that nobody likes to talk about. Yes, it's time to talk about Waterworld. Kevin Costner at his problematic best in the middle of the ocean: what could possibly go wrong. But at least the toys were cool? Trent for the affirmative. Then it's our Patreon Hot Takes Part Deux and boy do things get a little spicy. There's fence sitting, high horses and some very silly silliness. BOOM!

New Super7 Ultimates - have they finally jumped the shark? Every good Battle Cat needs a Panthor, enter Mondo! The Todd does Todd-thing with the usual DC cast and another out of total left field.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we have some Hot Take Statements that where submitted by our awesome Patreons. We go through some of them and go around the room unpacking the statement, whether we agree, or disagree to it. The power of nostalgia comes into question. Of course some of the biggest franchises come under fire; such as Batman, Star Wars & TMNT. The ease of custom 3D printing vs mass production? What about movies with a connected universe versus the good old standalone film? All this and more, as we only scratch the surface of this now on-going sub-topic. Then we each turn around, and review how each of us are tackling our own personal collections, with a bit of a State Of The Nation focus. In rounding out we actually swing back to the Hot Take topic, for an unplanned discussion.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we are joined in studio with Steve Ready. We have the usual get-to-know-you questions; and then its into our main topic, which starts off being on the micro scale. Yes, in the same format of Polly Pocket & Mighty Max, Steve is renowned enthusiast for the Micro Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Toyline. Spanning from little foldout playsets, very small figures and the incredibly tiny and very easily lost weapons!! Then we raise the scale by a little bit, in order to chat about Steve's involvement in the Lego Community. Everything from Christmas Themed dioramas and the challenges to get it done, to Steve managing the local Lego events. All this and more, another great episode enriched by our guest.Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome long time listener Steve Ready to the show! We'll introduce him properly next week because damn - there is some news to get too!

Mad Max meets Shao Kahn in a new reveal before we dive into Filoni's latest (and possibly greatest) Star Wars entry: Ashoka. Then a fitting farewell from our good mate Scotty The Toy Hunta as he embarks on a new life journey!

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, its all about the Latest news! Another big week with several Conventions happening over in the USA. First off the ranks, we touch base on how well the latest HasLab is going, in the form of Giant-Man. Then its an unusual cross-over of Skeletor & VeeFriends? The Super Cyborg Krang Android is amazing, and very worthy of spot on your shelf as an upgrade of the Playmates version! An absolutely beautiful version of Supergirl from Revoltech; then a big "Skelebration" checklist from Mattel, including both Origins & Masterverse figures. Fraggle Rock wave 2 from Boss Fight Studios are incredible, but the Holocomm Star Wars Collection has us scratching our heads for many reasons.... The Ultimate GITD Radiation Ranger & Cobra MotherShip from Super 7 are both simply amazing, and rounding out the news is the announcement of Eternia's Choice Winner of the Snake Lair! Then the lads chat about their experiences from the October Addelaide Comic & Toy Fair. Another very exciting day all around, with some cool stories to share!

Today on the Toy Power Podcast, we are joined by a special guest and fellow SA collector Damien. He’s a rare breed of collector who manages to keep his passion for one line and one line only: the 80’s classic Jem and the Holograms! It was a time of flashing earrings, shoulder pads and face-paint so Damien takes us through the brand from conception at Hasbro to production. What famous show (beyond on her own) was Jem attached too? Was she even called Jem to begin with? We love figures with multiple accessories, but Jem takes it to another level with a staggering amount of outfits in a dizzying amount of colours. But is it all about the fashion, or the music? Or the Keytar?? Learn about the 80s corporate espionage and subterfuge that was Jem vs Barbie – it was big big money, so much so, one former employee banked some serious coin: and it might not be who you think! Can you have a love-triangle with two people? Hey, it was the 80s… We also get to peek at some seriously rare product – stuff you will literally never see again! Like many other 80s brands, is there a big reboot in the works? Then it’s a quick round of Reading Watching Playing featuring Netflix, ABC Kids and a a book that reads to its author? Frank then ends the show with a special announcement that bodes well for the future of Toy Power… Follow Damien and his amazing collection @truly_truly_truly_outrageousSupport the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today is a day unlike any other - Dave and Casey invade Toy Power the same way Guile and his commandos storm M.Bison's fortress. That's right, we are talking about the 1994 Street Fighter movie. So it seems like the perfect time to allow swearing and smut! No holds barred here as we play in the DVG sandbox with all the hilarity and chaos it's known for. Not much toy talk here, but plenty of laughs to awkwardly explain to your loved ones. Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Because variety is the spice of life, we invited Dave and Casey along for todays ride! Yes there are some news topics to talk through (including PulseCon reveals) but it’s the review you’ve all been waiting for: TMNT Mutant Mayhem. Made slightly trickier by the fact Casey hasn’t seen it, but that doesn’t stop us from having a good time! What did the Turtles fan-boys in the room all think? But most curiously, what did the renowned Turtles hater Producer Scot have to say about it? Next weeks ep will also be a true cross-over with the loveable duo, but done in DVG stylings so consider yourself naughty word pre-warned!Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This Week on the Toy Power Podcast we have Special Guest Darren Koziol in the studio, to chat about his role in Australian Comics! Darren is of course the Creator, Editor, Publisher & Primary Author of Dark Oz Comics! He produces many titles under this banner, with hundreds of other creators working on these titles too. After the initial get to know you questions, we find out, just how much Darren is passionate car enthusiast that even features some of his cars in his comics too! Where has Dark Oz taken Darren and what future things does he potentially have in the works! Darren has a hell of a lot going on, and is an extremely busy man! So we really appreciate him talking to us. This was a really fun episode indeed.

It’s news day have we our usual selection McFarlane, HasLabs and more to get through. Did the Ghost make the finish line? And will a new Marvel project meet the fate of the infamous Ghost Rider? Mattel let the fans decide and there are some decisions to be made – some more obvious than other. Brian Flynn makes Frank’s year (and indeed his wallet cry) while another toy seems to bear his very name. Speaking of named things, tonight we drinking something special… Then it’s over to latest scores and the merry-go round of toy swapping and buying even from within the four of us proving once and for all, that all good things come to those who wait!Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.
