Toy Power Podcast

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we dust off the mics as well as our evening suits, as we prepare for the Great TPP Awards for last years releases.  But first we have a little TPP Highlights reel, of what we accomplished last year as a Podcast team!   The catagories for the awards are as follows:   - Best Movie - Best TV Show - Best Non-Toy Category (Statues, Video Games, Merchandise etc.) - Fa...

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 glitc...

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we dive headfirst into the latest news, and there is a surprising amount of it; given we are so close to Christmas!  In the Xmas theme, we have another Figure Obscura character to celebrate, in the form of: The Ghost Of Jacob Marley.  But that's not all from the Four Horseman, they have also announced a ZoloCon Exclusive - Skull-Man!  Over to Neca next, and cele...

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we have special guest Brendan Crates back on the show; this time to formally get to know him better!  The usual intro questions aside, we expand on what Brendan is passionate about; plus suprised to discover just how many different places he has lived in!  Collecting secrets are annonunced, around securing Mezco figures in Australia.  We chat about the alter-ego...

Today we are missing a Scot but subbing in for the first time on Toy Power is longtime Patreon Brendan Crates. The King of the Monsters is back but is that a good thing? Ben reports in. The Todd makes his customary appearance and is this the happiest figure he's ever done? And the biggest topic - in both scale and importance - GI Joe and Super7: Is this the ultimate partnership? Colin Betts writes...

This episode is full of bombs. Both the explody-Universal Studios type ones, and the box office flops that nobody likes to talk about. Yes, it's time to talk about Waterworld. Kevin Costner at his problematic best in the middle of the ocean: what could possibly go wrong. But at least the toys were cool? Trent for the affirmative. Then it's our Patreon Hot Takes Part Deux and boy do things get a li...

There is so so much to talk about that we run overtime is this episode that is both news, and features a special guest. From the EuroLegions Podcast our good mate John Caulfield joins in the madness. New Super7 Ultimates - have they finally jumped the shark? Every good Battle Cat needs a Panthor, enter Mondo! The Todd does Todd-thing with the usual DC cast and another out of total left field. More...

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we have some Hot Take Statements that where submitted by our awesome Patreons.  We go through some of them and go around the room unpacking the statement, whether we agree, or disagree to it.  The power of nostalgia comes into question.  Of course some of the biggest franchises come under fire; such as Batman, Star Wars & TMNT.  The ease of custom 3D printin...

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we have another jammed packed Runsheet of News Segments from around the virtual Toy Aisles! Kicking things off, are the results on some of the Kickstarter Projects. Giant-Man with a race to the finish line & the New already successful Ghostbusters Ghost Trap & P.K.E. Meter. More reveals from McFarlane, and none of them are Batman themed!?! Some really ne...

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we are joined in studio with Steve Ready.  We have the usual get-to-know-you questions; and then its into our main topic, which starts off being on the micro scale.  Yes, in the same format of Polly Pocket & Mighty Max, Steve is renowned enthusiast for the Micro Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Toyline.  Spanning from little foldout playsets, very small figures...

Welcome long time listener Steve Ready to the show! We'll introduce him properly next week because damn - there is some news to get too! It's the crossover the late great Darren would have absolutely gone all in on: TMNT x MOTU. Meanwhile, Todd does Todd things but has he landed on a real mono-chromatic winner here? Mad Max meets Shao Kahn in a new reveal before we dive into Filoni's latest (and p...

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, its all about the Latest news!  Another big week with several Conventions happening over in the USA.  First off the ranks, we touch base on how well the latest HasLab is going, in the form of Giant-Man.  Then its an unusual cross-over of Skeletor & VeeFriends?  The Super Cyborg Krang Android is amazing, and very worthy of spot on your shelf as an upgrade of...

Today on the Toy Power Podcast, we are joined by a special guest and fellow SA collector Damien. He’s a rare breed of collector who manages to keep his passion for one line and one line only: the 80’s classic Jem and the Holograms! It was a time of flashing earrings, shoulder pads and face-paint so Damien takes us through the brand from conception at Hasbro to production. What famous show (beyond...

Today is a day unlike any other - Dave and Casey invade Toy Power the same way Guile and his commandos storm M.Bison's fortress. That's right, we are talking about the 1994 Street Fighter movie. So it seems like the perfect time to allow swearing and smut! No holds barred here as we play in the DVG sandbox with all the hilarity and chaos it's known for. Not much toy talk here, but plenty of laughs...

Because variety is the spice of life, we invited Dave and Casey along for todays ride! Yes there are some news topics to talk through (including PulseCon reveals) but it’s the review you’ve all been waiting for: TMNT Mutant Mayhem. Made slightly trickier by the fact Casey hasn’t seen it, but that doesn’t stop us from having a good time! What did the Turtles fan-boys in the room all think? But most...

This Week on the Toy Power Podcast we have Special Guest Darren Koziol in the studio, to chat about his role in Australian Comics!  Darren is of course the Creator, Editor, Publisher & Primary Author of Dark Oz Comics!  He produces many titles under this banner, with hundreds of other creators working on these titles too.  After the initial get to know you questions, we find out, just how much...

It’s news day have we our usual selection McFarlane, HasLabs and more to get through. Did the Ghost make the finish line? And will a new Marvel project meet the fate of the infamous Ghost Rider? Mattel let the fans decide and there are some decisions to be made – some more obvious than other. Brian Flynn makes Frank’s year (and indeed his wallet cry) while another toy seems to bear his very name....

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we are joined by a Spin Master Gab!  With our regular get-to-know-you questions out of the way; we move onto our main topic around Raffles, Waffles, Razz or whatever name it takes, to fly under the social media guidelines.  So what is a Waffle?  (Cause Scotty doesn't know!)  What does it take to make a successful Raffle?  What doesn't work too is quite interesti...

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, its another full on News session; as we kick it off with a chat about the new Star Wars Asoka Show - what are we missing?  Then it genuinely seems that Todd McFarlane himself has filled our Runsheet with his upcoming reveals and announcements!  But can you believe that we are discussing more characters, from the DC Universe, than just Batman himself!  Yes, its a...

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....

This week on the Toy Power Podcast; we have the Legendary man himself; back to poke fun at everything we say!  Yes; Master DaveyDamaged is in the studio to help us get through all the latest news.  Not too much regular news to cover, as their where obviously so much announced from SDCC; but now with some early reveals from PowerCon; we easily fill an entire episode!  Vehicle Voltron, more from Bat...

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 Mod...

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 thin...

We’re not QUITE at SDCC yet, but that doesn’t stop the usual suspects dropping all their exclusives in what feels like Christmas in July. We revisit a pair of crowd funded projects – with wildly different results. ThunderCats fans rejoice (or cry depending on your financial outlook) cause there is some BIG confirmations here… The Todd keeps doing Todd things but has he peaked with arguably THE def...
