This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we travel back to "a long time a ago, in a Galaxy far, far away...." to bring you the entertainment juggernaut that is: Star Wars! In order to break this all down, we have resident expert Nick Greenslade, back in studio to help us out with this Inraspective episode. So, this round, we are honing our focus into just three of the many sub-categories of the Star Wars toylines. Those being: Vintage Kenner, 90's Power Of The Force & The Modern Black Series Toylines. What do each of them to us personally, and how do we rate them overall? We have a rough aim usually of an hour-long ep; but this episode blows that time limit out of the water! This episode's focus is released to tie-into the honoured May the 4th timeline. "This is the way!"Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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!

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.

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!)

Mount Rushmore of Toys, Weird Science conversation, who will we take on our journey for the ultimate toy quiz team-up?

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???

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?

More Figure Obscura reveals, McFarlane Titans wave announced, Shattered Glass Transformers, Ninja Turtles toy leaks from upcoming Mutant Mayhem film & Biker Mice From Mars shots of the Mice themselves.

They include: Antman & The Wasp, Cocaine Bear, Dungeons & Dragons, Evil Dead: Rise, The Super Mario Bros Movie, Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3, SpiderMan: Across The Spiderverse, Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts, TMNT: Mutant Mayhem & Dune: Part 2.

Anthropomorphic Mice chewing tunnelling their way for a return, and rounding out the news, the concerning position that has made Hasbro layoff some of their work team.

Fresh Smacks Down the facts & memories of indestructible LJN figures & their off-shoot bendy counterparts too. The discovery of WWF Hasbro figures & their great sculpts!

Today on the show we travel to the house of Producer Scot and we are Trent-less. We will talk about Mega-Construx if we want to and Mr Lego Master can't stop us! There's lots more in here though with new Ultimates, Turtles from a trio of different companies, Todd seemingly NOT touting his latest figure, Mattel shooting themselves in the foot, a LEGO creation we didn't know we needed, and is this the most successful HasLabs of all time?

At a time when Jurassic Park and Top Gun are dominating the box office, we thought it fitting to revisit an old episode with our resident 90s expert: The Master of Disaster and Hypercolor, Mr Davey Damaged. We talk all things Street Sharks, Terminator 2, Last Action Hero and even Super Mario Brothers the Movie. There's also a quiz from the mind of Darren so prepare for much bending of the rules in this throwback episode originally published in Sep of 2017.

It’s a crossover of sorts as our good friend and local podcaster Ben Rosenthal joins in the fun. While he calls himself a gamer he is very familiar with the collecting world : so much so, he teaches us about the history of Nintendo. A history that, actually begins in the world of toys. (Insert crowd shocked reaction here). Along the way there are botched trademarks, Jump Man, some AMAZING show and tells and more than a few blue jokes. Then it’s some Would You Rather as we put the hard word on Ben – Scot in particular! Go check out Hack the Dino on Twitch or Podcast format.

News day is here and it feels like it’s all targeting Bens wallet – Is this the Ultimate He-Man figure? Are these the coolest Dino figures in the last 10 years? Is this the best Black Adam figure ever? New Toxic Crusaders? A new Soundwave? An EXCLUSIVE Shredder figure? I mean, one man can only have so much money to spend… Meanwhile Funko makes a big play but what does it all MEAN Basil? We also review the amazing Creating G.I. Joe Vol 7 book by Dan Kilingensmith. This is THE source of anything Joe and he was kind enough to send us a copy. Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Matt Teale sticks around for another episode this time run by, you guessed it, Matt Teale. He walks us through the world of Visionaries and his love for all things Hologram. Don't know much about it? Well be prepared to learn like we did but be sure to pay attention (UNlike how we did) as there is a quiz at the end! Matt's generosity knows no bounds as we play the most shambolic version of Pass the Parcel that would make any parent proud! Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
