Toy Rewind Podcast

Partly metal, partly real, mostly....forgotten? Metallic paint, silver wings and companion birds. What else could we be talking about but SilverHawks. The space cousins of ThunderCats and the toy line released by Kenner. We have it all.

We somehow talked longer than this line actually existed. Learn more about how Robo Force came from a single robot, to a single cartoon episode, and then for the most part forgotten. We dive in deep and talk all about these awesome robots that just needed a bit more thought.

Building an episode around LEGO Bricks this week! We talked about LEGO, where they started and where they are now. And learn just how many LEGO were around the Newland household as we grew up. Who has them now and where can we find more!

This week the Brothers Newland were joined by Joey from The Four Dorksmen to talk about M.A.S.K. This awesome toy line directly from Kenner in the 80's was a combination of G.I. Joe and Transformers that came along with a cartoon. Sounds like all the others right? Think again!

This week we talked about the 1988-90 toy line Dino-Riders. From the heroic Valorians to the evil Rulon, these toys were awesome and had the technology to back it up. With a short running show to support the toys, the Dino-Riders were a force to be reckoned with.
