Talking Toys With Taylor and Jeff

Earth! Water! Fire! Lizard! Spock! Wait...that's not right. This week, the guys talk about the toy line that Taylor THOUGHT they were gonna talk about last month: Battle Beasts! Did Jeff find these little guys interesting enough to spend an entire show on? Gee, I wonder. Listen and find out!

He's the Shammiest Shaman in the Forest! He's Logray, the Ewok Medicine Man, and he's also the namesake of Taylor's cat! How does the figure stack up to the feline? Listen and find out!

Let's twist again, like we did the last time we talked about a twisting figure! The guys talk about the Diabolical Dreidal: TWISTOID! Will they get spun out in love for the figure, or will it topple over in failure? Listen and find out!

Due to some confusion on Jeff's part, this week's show will be concerning Transformers that turn into beasts and bugs...reminds me of the scene in Big where he pitches the insects that turn into robots. Anywho, the guys had a lot of fun discussing Beast Wars, so we hope you'll have as much fun listening!

Klaatu, Barada, Nikto. They're all names we recognize. And where you recognize them from says a lot about your age and your cultural references. Today, we're only discussing one. Klaatu: the green-skinned creature from Jabba's palace. This ends up being one of the more impressive figures we've gotten thus far. Don't take my word for it, listen and find out!

It's a VERY special Talking Toys as the guys are joined by friend of the show Steve Chu, fresh off his 792nd straight visit to San Diego Comic Con! The guys have fun discussing Comic Con strategies before they finally get to the main event: Steve wanted to discuss our Top 5 Spaceship Toys. Predictably, there were a few honorable mentions. Settle in, it's a good one! Don’t forget our Patreon page a...

As the guys near the end of the line for the vintage MotU line, the desperation/creativity of Hasbro really shines through. Nowhere else is this more apparent than with Sssqueeze. Don't let the dumb name fool you, he's actually kinda neat, as Taylor will convince you during the course of the show.

"Exo" means "Outer"...or something. So this is a Squad of Outers...wait, that's not right. Basically it's a bunch of people in portable construction equipment, but it's cooler than that. You know what, just listen : Don’t forget our Patreon page at https://www.patreon.com/marvindogmedia BIG Thanks to our Patreon supporters, you guys are the best!: Mr. Matt Moore Joshua A Taylor Jared Hart Christop...

Just what we need, another pasty white guy on a podcast. Oh, no, it's not a new co-host, it's just the figure the guys are discussing this time: General Madine. Why did Kenner make this guy? And how good of a job did they do? All these answers await if you only listen!

It's time for another top 5! This time out, the guys had help from friend of the show Dario Lorenzetto, who suggested they discuss their top 5 underrated toy lines. Jeff's #1 may or may not shock you.

It's hard to believe we haven't talked about this figure before, but that's only because Mattel didn't MAKE the figure til waaaaay deep into the MOTU line. So, NOW it's time to discuss the SORCERESS! Are the guys under her spell? Listen and find out!

For once, Taylor did NOT get the best of Jeff. Taylor thought he had a BIG surprise in store when he announced to Jeff what the next toy line would be. BUT, in a glorious turnabout, Jeff already KNEW about the line, and even HAD some of the toys as a kid! Fine, so it's not a twist worthy of M. Night Shyamalan (or, maybe it is, depending on your opinion of his work), but Jeff enjoyed it. So sit bac...

Jeff sat down with his friend Matt George to discuss the book that Matt wrote with Gary Borbidge and Stephen Ward with designs by Chance Sanderson, Engineering An Empire: The Creators of Kenner's Star Wars Toys. It's an outstanding new book that seeks to celebrate the names and faces behind the toys that we grew up with and never outgrew. Check out the book and buy a copy at www. EngineeringAnEmpi...

Today's show is hefty in both content and figure! The guys talk about quite possibly the pudgiest figure Kenner produced in the original Star Wars line: The Gamorrean Guard. Did the guys feast on this figure or turn up a pig-nose at it? Listen and find out!

Jeff just can't get away from these $%&@ Snake Men! The guys discuss what is (hopefully) the last of them as they look at Snake Face. Taylor is, of course, delighted. Enjoy!

Taylor has done it again. He's popped up with a toy line that Jeff knew nothing about. Does Jeff wish he had kept it that way? Find out as the guys discuss Dragon Flyz!

Jeff is so ridiculously excited this week that he can barely keep his soft goods robe on. That sounded horrifying, we apologize. But seriously, it's time to do a deep dive on one of the greatest action figures ever created: Emperor's Royal Guard from Kenner's Return of the Jedi line!

Negative Ghost Rider, the pattern is full...is what we'd write if this WAS actually about Ghost Rider. Instead, we're talking about a guy who just LOOKS like Ghost Rider: SCAREGLOW!!! Taylor is VERY excited about this one, and we hope you guys are just as excited about it when we're done!

It's time to round up the usual suspects and put on your yellow trenchcoat, the guys get colorful as they talk about the Dick Tracy toyline from Playmates! Did this line stay as true as Tess Trueheart? Or did it rear it's ugly head like any one of the rogues gallery of villains? Listen and find out!

Who's the boss? He is! He IS Chief Chirpa, and he rules the ewoks with a fuzzy fist! The guys have fun discussing the first of the Teddy Bears from a Galaxy Far, Far Away, and we think they've made them cool again!!

The man, the myth, the legend returns! Mark Bellomo (The Toys That Made Us) is back to talk to Jeff about his latest book, the 3rd edition of The Ultimate Guide to G.I. Joe 1982-1994. This book has been selling like hotcakes since it was announced last year. If you hurry, you can still get a copy so you can read along with our discussion. Mark knows a lot about toys, and his knowledge of G.I. Joe...
