Gonk if you love Star Wars!!! It’s not just a bumper sticker I bought for 2 of my besties (Taylor Lymber and Matt Moore), it’s a WAY OF LIFE! Well, it is if you’re a Power Droid. Or a Power … Continue reading →

Achoo!!! Sorry, Taylor gave Jeff GERMS. Actually, he just suggested they discuss Germs, a Worlds of Wonder toy line that….well…it sort of defies explanation. Just listen, and wonder what Taylor was thinking when he suggested it.

This guy gives new meaning to the term “rubberneckin'”….actually he doesn’t, and I apologize for that “joke.” This week, Taylor and Jeff are discussing Mekaneck, from the Masters of the Universe line. I’ll give you 3 guesses what HIS special … Continue reading →

There are a LOT of Batman toy lines out there. We’ll eventually get around to discussing them all. This time, we got the most confusing one out of the way. And by “Confusing” we mean “Jeff couldn’t figure out exactly … Continue reading →

It’s time for another Star Wars action figure! This time it’s one of Jeff’s favorites: Luke Skywalker (X-Wing Pilot). Jeff loves the colors (that is a recurring theme, huh?). But what does Taylor think? His answer might surprise you….listen and … Continue reading →

Don’t call it a comeback!!! I know, it’s February. We’ve even passed Valentine’s Day, but 2016 has been a whirlwind so far, and better late than never, right? Taylor and Jeff discuss their Christmas hauls, and then you will get … Continue reading →

Taylor and Jeff both saw this new movie that came out last week. It’s called Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and it seems to be doing fairly well at the box office and with critics, so we thought you might … Continue reading →

In a twist on our last Minisode topic, this time Taylor and Jeff play the “What If” Game with a property that never got a toy line. First up, everyone’s favorite kids-on-an-adventure movie, “The Goonies” What would this line have … Continue reading →

Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes? Jeff and Indiana Jones have something in common. Luckily, Taylor does not share their distaste for snakes, so he’s able to tell us all we never needed to know about Kobra Kahn … Continue reading →

So we’ve had Masters of the Universe, we’ve had the 200x He-Man line, and now comes the one you’ve REALLY been waiting for. Well, at least TAYLOR has. It’s He-Man, aka The New Adventures of He-Man, aka the toy line … Continue reading →

Taylor has his LadyBugHead Man, Jeff has his SilverInsectoidRobot Guy. This week, the guys talk about the latter. Death Star Droid is a figure that gives them fits as they discuss the relative merits of the anti-3P0. Which side do … Continue reading →

Over 3 years in, and Taylor and Jeff STILL can’t open a show properly. Luckily, the rest of the show is MUCH smoother. This time out, the guys introduce a new sub-series dedicated to toy lines from properties that didn’t … Continue reading →

Jitsu. Sounds like a hip sushi restaurant, doesn’t it? No? Well, fine, it’s still a strange name for an equally strange figure. Of course, being from Masters of the Universe, you wouldn’t expect anything less. Does he pass muster for … Continue reading →

Raiders of the Lost Ark was a HUGE movie in 1981. #1 box office, Best Picture nominee at the Academy Awards, and it remains beloved to this day. Kenner was signed on to make toys. Should have been a repeat … Continue reading →

Well c’mon Red, let’s go! Little did we know that “red” couldn’t “go” because he just couldn’t get motivated. Having a bad motivator is a problem that many of us have, but not Taylor & Jeff. They need no motivation … Continue reading →

“How much is this worth?” is a question that everyone who collects either asks or gets asked at some point. How does one answer? Sentimental value is the only true value that a person can accurately apply to an item. … Continue reading →

His name if Fisto? Yeah. Yeah, it is. I know. Trust me, I know. Taylor loves this guy, of course. And, beyond the name, he IS pretty cool. But that name is a HUGE hump to get over. Can Jeff … Continue reading →

Some toys are just more ATTRACTIVE than others. Some toys have a MAGNETIC pull that others just seem to lack. Some toys STICK, some don’t. I guess 2 out of 3 ain’t bad for StarCom, huh? These toys were really … Continue reading →

Yes!!! Jeff is VERY excited this week, folks. He and Taylor are talking about everyone’s favorite amputee, Walrus Man! Anyone who listens to this show regularly knows the story of Jeff’s fondness for this figure, but if you don’t, fear … Continue reading →

Jeff loves a good pun. Taylor loves a good pun even more than Jeff. So, as you may expect, they both had a good time this week discussing a PUNderful action figure: Clawful, from Mattel’s Masters of the Universe line. … Continue reading →

Once again, we’re knee-deep in the 1980s. It was a time when a raunchy R-rated comedy could rebrand itself into a family-friendly film franchise, which would then spawn a cartoon, which would then, of course, spawn a toy line. 1984’s … Continue reading →

It’s one of the greatest “gambled and lost” stories in the history of the toy biz. Kenner make a guess about what Snaggletooth looked like below the neck, and got it wrong. But then, they got it right, and that’s … Continue reading →
