Davey sticks around and is here to carry the show as we delve into the world of 80s cartoons. Ready your sugar-high cereal, blanket and remote-less TV as we prepare to park it on the shag-pile brown carpet and relive our favourites. Which cartoon had too much singing in it? Best intro? Best voice and music? Is Scot’s childhood dependence a little too much? All the controversial opinions are here. Does Ren and Stimpy hold up? Ben reports in. Then Colin Betts delivers the good - literally - from far off Canadia in classic style.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we are taking it very easy.  We are honestly still quite worn out from the excitement & partying that came from the previous SDCC episode!  However, we are quite excited to announce our Seventh Birthday!  We have an exciting social media trend we wish you to be a part of too.  Then we shine the lime-light onto our latest scores.  Seems a very nice mix of Modern items, & not one of us can stick to just one item, we all share multiple scores.  Then a round table discussion about what we are all Reading, Playing, Watching.  So sit back, as we kind of phone it in this ep; but still have some very interesting points to discuss.  Enjoy.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we have a MASSIVE show organised for you!  As we attempt to cover almost all the wonderful news & reveals from the juggernaut that is San Diego Comic-Con!  We have a small batch of Pre-Con news, and then we get stuck into the Con headlines - breaking them down into Company Brands.  Kicking off with Mattel, (with a bonus breakdown from Criss Fresh on all things Wrestling); then Super7, Mondo, Nacelle, Neca, Hasbro, McFarlane & Mezco.  We have not one, but two "Shut-Up-And-Take-My-Money!" sizzle reels!   Then we rate the overall Companys display presence against each other - who was the overall best in our opinion?  Plus an interesting convo about if we even missed the Hollywood cinematic side of things this year?  This is probably our longest episode to date; so strap in as we break it all down for you!

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we have fellow local Aussie, Glenn Pluck join us to chat about his awesome side business: Ultimate Figure Protection!  We ask him the usual 'Get to know you Questions' as well as, how one starts this kind of venture.  Overall, a remarkably interesting conversation about protecting precious toys.  Glenn's turn around with his requests is amazing, almost as impressive as his variety too!  Glenn has the market covered with protective Acrylic Cases for dozens of various Toylines of all shapes & sizes, including some playsets and large vehicles too!  With exciting plans for a one-stop-shop website in the works among other things; Ultimate Figure Protection is a name to watch out for!!  Plus, we touch on Latest Scores from all parties too, with a nice little surprise gift from Glenn too.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we are only a trio; but the show must go on right!  So we kick things off by checking in on the GI Joe HasLab campaign; this continues to be quite successful; whilst other Jurassic Campaigns have us doubtful...  McFarlane showcases off two very unique SuperMen; & what is with these Thundercat's Cat Lair teases?!?!  Can it really be done?  An announcement of the black & white Space Usagi, followed up by another Transformers X GIJoe Crossover combination.  Then we pivot to reviewing the new Playmates TMNT Mutant Mayhem figures.  We are all unanimously impressed by certain figures; & certainly blown away by all the included accessories!  All this & more; enjoy!

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we have Colin Bett's back again; to help us break down the wonderful 90's ToyBiz toy line.  A discussion starting with only Scot, Ben & Colin; but later on in the ep, we may have some extra voices join us....  We have a deep discussion about the ToyBiz Toy line that really fleshed out the diverse roster of the Marvel Universe!  Spawning multiple sub-toy lines, different scales and a variety of vehicles & playsets to boot!!  Action features, colours, vac metal and articulation; plus, insight and discussion into figures that never were never made!   Then we pivot from Marvel to DC; as we do a fairly broad, spoiler-free chat about the new The Flash film.  Does it live up to the hype?  How can we not compare it back to Marvel?!?

Our favourite Canadian Colin Betts joins us for this extended episode! There's a couple of new headlines to hit including the unstoppable DragonFly, COPS are back plus an amazing reveal from Mondo. Then it's time for the Vintage Toy Awards: Transformers G1 - Autobots edition. This was harder than we thought and some of our answers might surprise you - or even change as we go! Lots of categories to talk too - but which figure gets the coveted Best Autobot award?

Today there is lots of news to chat too - and 80% of it seems to be Turtles related! So don't expect to hear much from Producer Scot today! But there's also the newest Haslab reveal (blink and you'll miss it) some new Marvel Legends (which one is in Scot's basket?), The Todd gets another license and is Ben about to collect a new line? What makes us revisit the Shredders Revenge game? Then we chat all things Mega Toy Fair, the sights, the sounds, the friends and of course, the almighty scores.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast; we challenged ourselves like never before!  The crossover event of our careers!  So please look forward to a Quiz show devised from Matt Teale'o; with participants from Dave's Video Graveyard & Geek Dudes; pitched against the Toy Power Team.

This is actually Part Two of our crossover with good friends DVG and GeekDudes. If you’re wondering what happened to Part One; you’re not alone. I think Davey said it best, that when eight podcasters all yell at the same time, while chaotic and fun in places, it doesn’t necessarily make for good listening. On review, our decision to remove the PG filter wasn’t the right call either. Darren once said “Toy Power should be for everyone” and Part One simply didn’t fit that mantra - so it won’t be released. So for now, enjoy this family friendly quiz Battle Royale between us & our good mates.

Please be sure to give a Listen & Follow to:

It's news day and the Todd brings the noise with some great vehicles and a few teases along the way. NECA show off April in April and is this the best Super7 Ultimates wave selection of all time? Then we chat about the always amazing Adelaide Toy and Comic Fair. Great sales, great chat and our latest scores. One in particular that Producer Scot has been hunting for a long, long time...

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!"

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!

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!)

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??? There’s some cool tales to be told and we know Darren would be loving this ToyPower exclusive info. Producer Scot then throws out the challenge where YOU can program your own episode of the show - with a prize to be won!

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.

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? We also talk Funko, but not in a good way…
