#340: News with a Top 5 Wishlist!

Adelaide silver-fox-nerd Brett Owen stops by to check out the news. Because it's news day, The Todd brings his A(zrael) game. Playmates steps up to the plate with something new, but is NECA closing in already? Lego Batman is usually a big deal but have they missed a trick with the latest set? Ben and Frank step aside so Trent and Scot can gush about Dune Part 2 before we wrap it up with some latest scores - as Brett trumps us all with his tales from Japan!

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!!

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?

Lots of goodness to get into today but is there any bigger story - or toy - than Eternia right now?!? Did you get yours? The Todd celebrates a milestone - prepare the gold paint - there's some great new TF reveals from HasLabs and Marvel Comics tributes. Super7 gives us the last Silverhawk to round out the core team while Super Powers gets some great new stuff. Latest scores gives us fan-made books, Retro goodness and some chat around lighting those shelves. Any suggestions?

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. Latest Scores to round it out which leads Frank to an existential collecting crisis...

Today it's the most wonderful time of the year. But before we get to unwrap out presents, it's time to recap on the wonderful Villains that exist in the vintage Turtles line. And just for kicks, Scot will act as judge, jury and swing vote! From 88 to 93 there are some bonkers, iconic and outright weird designs that call out. And just to add to the Xmas crazi-ness, there's even a little audio glitch that we manage to have fun with. Speaking of fun, we follow up on a promised story of what happens when Xmas Cards go wrong - and then right again! Merry times and best wishes to all our listeners as we take a break until 2024. Cheers!

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we dive headfirst into the latest news, and there is a surprising amount of it; given we are so close to Christmas!  In the Xmas theme, we have another Figure Obscura character to celebrate, in the form of: The Ghost Of Jacob Marley.  But that's not all from the Four Horseman, they have also announced a ZoloCon Exclusive - Skull-Man!  Over to Neca next, and celebrating the Year Of The Rabbit, we finally get a proper look at the 4pk of Usagi Yojimbo.  McFarlane Cross Hasbro deal, has many of us scratching our heads of what this might mean, and then also from the Todd Father, Wave 6 of his awesome Super Powers line, with some awesome figures announced!  50years of Wolverine is celebrated with an assortment of 2pks and rounding out the news is our great friend Guillermo Olivio whom has officially opened a Toy Store in Florida -Plastic Universe!  Our 2nd main segment for this ep, is a bit of a McFarlane top 5 wish-list of Super Powers characters, we think should be made.  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!  Enjoy!
