It's news day and there's some cool cool stuff the chat too. The origins of Drax, our poor fact checking, Lego and Legions latest plus some seriously rad artwork that some people think is just "meh". We get our first look at the new MK (which Frank refuses to shut up about) then it's off to space as chat about the finale to the Guardians trilogy. Just how good is Gunn's Marvel swan-song?

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...

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!)

This episode we get lost in horror. From Bates Motel to The Conjuring, we scooby-doo our way through dark worlds of cinema. So dim the lights, get comfy, and grab some boozy for this doozy.

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!

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…

Thursday Comics Giant Size #63
from the Library of Graphic Literature
March 2nd, 2023

Welcome to another fun packed house of comix we call Giant Size Thursday Comics with the 63rd Giant Size episode and the Kings of Comix Media, Dennis Osbourne and Wallace Ryan..

THIS WEEK, we look at the TOP 10 FIRST ISSUES of the Modern Age 1986 to 2000!!! 

As is our habit, we compiled our separate lists in secret, WITHOUT revealing to each other what was on our lists. We come to the show ignorant as to what the other has on their list and see what happens!!!

Thursday Comics theme by Bill Brennan

Who'd have thought, this silly little show would get this far? Probably only Darren in truth! Tonight we celebrate something Old, Something New and Something You. It's really just a cover for us to talk about the toys that we love in our collections. You can watch this celebratory episode on our Facebook page to see all the give-aways, the questions and the questionable fashion choices, inspired by a certain friend of ours. A massive THANK you to all our supporters over the journey, our Patreons and anyone who's ever listened. It certainly has been one helluva Good Journey!

Today on the show our Victorian brother is back in town - Criss Fresh is in the house! Taking Hollywood Trents seat for the night, (and you KNOW that won't go unnoticed) we cover a wide range of toy talk including the current state of retail, Hasbro wobbles and our biggest new year toy lies. Then it's onto the bevy of DC announcements from James Gunn. What does it all mean and where do we all sit on it? Who is keen and drops the first F-bomb of the night? The answers might surprise you...

Today on Toy Power, it’s time to look forward to 2023 and what lies beyond. But before that, just cause (most of us) were on holidays doesn’t mean the toy companies are! NECA do their traditional reveals while Boss Fight revive an 80s legend. Mattel do DEEP into the well for their new figure while Todd gives us the most maximum Batman there is. Also featuring Shaq, Tom Sellick, Sarah Jessica Parker and six-packs. And Ben answers the question on everyone’s lips: What does Thirty-Thirty look like?

In our final episode for 2022, Malcolm Hobbs and his extreme Transformers knowledge is back as we tackle the second of our famous Intraspectives. Legitimacy of the word aside, this one is all about those Robots in Disguise as we pick G1, Beast Wars, The Bayverse and Masterpiece as our toylines of focus. What do these toylines mean to us? Can we seperate the movie(s) from the toys themselves? In a juggernaut brand spanning many years, which lines hit or missed us? There's a couple of surprising scores throughout, the odd in-context swear word and even a GoBot or two... Strap in for this extended episode as you (and us!) learn more about the might Autobots and Decepticons than you ever thought possible.

We might be a couple of members down, but that won’t stop us sending the news your way. In an all too familiar pattern, we mourn the loss of another pop-culture icon: may the Power Protect him, always. Of course there’s the usual players of Marvel Legends and More More McFarlane, but we get some unexpected reveals from the Masters at Mondo. And when we say we bring you the big stories, Super7 took it literally with a HUGE reveal! Then it’s Reading/Watching/Playing time and Ben takes reading to the next level with a great review of Blake Wrights latest’s works.

Today on the show, I'm not even on the show! Yes as I, Francis Ignatious Calixto Allan, sit here and write this, I can neither confirm nor deny the contents of this episode as, I simply wasn't there! But after having done this nearly 300 times, here's my speculation: Trent says something wise and outlandish, Ben says "100 percent" 80% of the time and Producer Scot, well he must have done something right because the audio got recorded! Is this what it's like for ya'll out there, listening to it for the first time? It's both surreal and exciting! I'm sure it will be a banger!

Coming in from the deep south today, we get some fire and brimstone as Producer Scot challenges us to come up with some Hot Takes facing the toy industry. Last time Frank got controversial on a beloved toyline, it became a bit of a thing, so strap yourselves in folks! But to even us out, out of the north, a swift cold front sweeps in direct from Canada. Thanks to our amazing friend Colin, we get to open a bunch of unsolicited gifts on air. If you want proof that people actually listen to what we say, go no further because the love and dedication put into this parcel goes beyond words. The guy even brought presents for our kids! MIND. BLOWN.

With PulseCon and NYCC reveals banking up, this was always gonna be a long, crazy episode. So crazy we forgot to tune Trents mic apparently! In this extended episode we cover it all from the usual suspects from Star Wars, Marvel Legends, DC Multiverse, Origins, NECA and Super7, but also the road less travelled with Nacelle, Mondo, Toho and too many more to name. We also unpack the recent closure of Aussie retailer BulletProof Villain and the fallout from it. Lastly, our hometown super-event The Adelaide Comic and Toy Fair gets a glowing recap as we talk tales, latest scores and hilarity from one epic day.

Today it’s news day and we are Trent-less – Enter the Brett! His hair and voice are almost a match only with 1000% more comics! There’s some surprises from Hasbro, a cool cool Leo figure to tempt the hell out of Frank but the bulk of our chat comes down to price. Be it massive LEGO sets, super cheap Batmobeasts and at the other end, a crazy HasLabs project that has already courted controversy.  Are Americans finally feeling the pinch of $50 six-inch figures? Oh and was there something about Deadpool that happened this week? Hear Frank’s crazy plot theory. Brett then brings the pre-Toy Fair hype with some wonderful gifts.

Lots of new toys to talk to but if there too much of a good thing? Can Mattel stop leaving getting their wires crossed? New Masters comics! Has the price of LEGO reached an all time high? It sure is LIFE SIZE. And lets not forget all the chat coming out of D23 – Thunderbolts, trailers, blasts from the past. And yes – we chat about THAT spitting incident!
