Toy Power Podcast

This week on The Toy Power Podcast, we are down to just two hosts. With Frank enjoying a well earned Family Holiday in New Zealand; and Scot attending to a rather serious incident at home. So its just Trent & Ben left to surge on with the show! We bring you all the latest news we could manage, everything from Street Sharks, Ninja Turtles, DC McFarlane and Street Fighter too! Heaps of MOTU news from both Origins & Masterverse; plus a combination of reveals from the Turtles of Grayskull mashup line. Then news from that Galaxy Far Far Away.... and then rounding the ep out on a bit of Reading Playing Watching. Please note - all is ok with Scot & his family.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we have Brett back in studio to unpack how Davey & himself came up with the idea of Radical Rewind, as well as their journey to make the first screening of Batman 89'an absolute sell out show success!! With the announcement of the next film being the 1990's TMNT Live action film in April; Radical Rewind are setting themselves up for an ongoing crowd-puller event!! A brief around the room review of the Batman film itself; with it being a first time for most seeing in on the big screen! Then we pivot over to a rival universe, to do an in hand review of the Mezco Fantastic Four box set! This is absolute premium set of toys, with more accessories, hands, heads and special parts then one collector will potentially ever get around to utilising! A genuinely awesome product indeed. All this plus news on our milestone 350th ep! Hope to see you at either the next Radical Rewind screening, or the upcoming Adelaide Comic & Toy Fair both set in April!!

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?

With his very successful Mr Dress-up show, and continuing working on Faking Filmation; as well as the upcoming Nintendo64 Quest! But that's not all... He has pumped out Season One of a new show titled: Planet Cool Stuff!! Planet Cool Stuff is an exciting series that combines informative & punchy segments that aren't held to just one theme. Rob beautifully combines Video Games, Toys, Movies, Comics and even some Music into a 4 segment episode over the course of 13 eps!! Then we round out the ep with a round the room coversation about the new Masters Of The Universe Netflix series - Revolution.

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!
