2020/08/09

Today on the Toy Power Podcast, our good friend Scotty stops by to help us get through a few news items. We sift through the rubble of post-SDCC to assess the damage. Did NECA’s pre-order method work as we’d hoped? There’s some great news of a local Aussie talent getting time with the Predator while Super7 heads down the Disney path with some Ultimates figures that capture the magic. Just don’t ask about the name of the cloth goods…. There’s Madballs to be

Today on Toy Power Podcast we are joined by not just one, but two special guests both Davey & Casey! And let me warn you they certainly bring along a lot of laughs for this episode! Casey is asked the usual initiation questions, whilst Davey is asked about his redeeming qualities..... and the Toy Power lads are given a stern warning within the first 5 mins. The first topic off the rank is all about Fast Food Toys - and let's face it, everyone was exposed to these in one form or another! We go

Today on the Toy Power Podcast, our fave event may not have happened, but there is SO much still to talk about! All the big (and small) players have been dropping their reveals and we are frothin’. Is Glow-in-the-dark the new black? Which character is defying gravity while another fills a VERY big gap in the roster. There’s new Joes – aaaaand 3 out of 4 ain’t bad. Is Mer-Man tripping? Who will get violent if the fan-vote doesn’t go their way? Is it a bat or a shield

2020/07/19

Today on the Toy Power podcast, we get real for a bit as we attempt to break down the state of the collecting world, 18 months since the exit of Toys R Us. It’s a chat mainly based around the suffering of our US friends as in a weird twist of fate, these toys are mostly easily available here in Aus… Whats the role of the retailer and do they even care? Whats the meaning behind an exclusive? Do they have it black? And if not WalMart or Target, where does a collector go? Then it’s

He reveals information literally no-one outside of the project knows yet : the full list of pieces set to be auctioned on the show! And it is an insanely good list – you can tell this by the amount of

Today on the Toy Power Podcast, we’re joined by another of our American friends Mr. Chris Wisdom. He lived our dream by working in a toy store back in the day – but was it everything we imagined? Chris takes us through the highs, lows and the wacky experiences he saw during his time. We get distracted by some of the economics of toys and discuss just how hard it is to order toys in the modern era. But what caused the downfall of KB? It’s not a great business model… Then we

Today, the team start off by answer the hypothetical question - which Playset would be the most exciting to see explode!? Then we take a sharp turn into how to go about discovering a new toy line! Just how deep is the Loony Toons rabbit hole? This question actually perfectly leads into our next topic which is all about Toy Checklists! We run through the many different versions around the room and speak at length about digital vs hard copy; can't we just have both? Unofficial vs official endorsement

It’s News Day and boy is there a lot to get too! There’s Moon Knight and a girthy Daredevil but that’s nothing compared to one massive leg. There’s chat around Mafex vs Legends while Streets of Rage makes a comeback in toy/videogame form. Hot Toys are accused of using small blue workers to get the perfect face, while over at Black Series, there is a decided introduction of colour. Bye-bye numbering system, hello incomplete artwork!

Today on the Toy Power Podcast, we are (mostly) back in the studio as the world (slowly) returns to normal. Pandemic or no, there is still plenty of toy news to get through! Do YOU like buying figures without seeing them first? Apparently NECA thinks a lot of people do – but do We? (The answer is shocking!) There’s more Marvel-ous reveals, a big slab of plastic (also known as a floating blue head), double putty action and erm, RoboCop?!?! What even IS this episode!? NECA look to take

It’s all about the interpretation folks! Trent gives us the scoop of what it felt like to be in that room as Jay and Stani returned. Thought their cowboy Lego face was good – wait till you hear what Brickman has to say about the artform! Just between us, I think he’s forgotten about the most famous rabbit of

Today on our second LEGO Masters special ep, we cover the 2 most recent episodes and marvel at this wonderful world of pure imagination. Step aside A Current Affair, this is the only headline we wanna watch! There’s micro-scale builds, crazy new challenges and even a LEGO udder?? (not a typo) And in an industry first, we get to watch a reality TV show that DOESN’T involve backstabbing, a villain or potty language. Unless you factor in Trent and his “not regulation girth”

Today on the Toy Power Podcast, we have another special guest this time from our hometown in Mr Brett Owen. Known throughout Adelaide as the host of one of our favourite pop-culture events, we muse on what could have been in a non-COVID world. Finding out more about a 10-year old Brett automatically makes him Franks fave, while Trent gets all flustered about the best way to film dinosaurs. So why put yourself through the stress of organizing such an event? Because Bretts a big softie and just loves
