2 Guys Talkin" Toys ·

2023/09/10

With the completion of one Haslab (Ahsoka’s ship The Ghost) and the start of another (Marvel’s Giant Man), Crowdfunding is becoming a more familiar mainstay for collectors. More and more collectors are becoming familiar with toymakers using crowdfunding sites like Kickstartter and Indiegogo to provide them with new toys they would otherwise have never seen.Today Tom and Dana discuss the different crowdfunding experiences we’ve had and how both the fandom and toy manufacturers may view it a little

2 Guys Talkin' Toys - EP033 - Toybiz

2 Guys Talkin" Toys ·

2023/09/03

I feel pretty confident in saying that most collectors that came up in the 90s had their fair share of Toybiz figures. From Batman to Spider-Man to Xena, Toybiz really covered a wide spectrum of toys that probably appealed to most of us in some way shape or form. In this episode Tom & Dana discuss their experience collecting Toybiz and its journey from basic 5 POA to its hyper-joint fixation in its later years.As always, we encourage you to join in the conversation and let us know what you

2023/08/27

This episode was recorded last week, but we wanted to take a moment to express that we are extremely saddened to have lost two greats in the wrestling world this week. Terry Funk and Bray Wyatt were taken from us too soon. Rest in Peace.From as far back as the current crop of collectors can remember, wrestling has been a staple in our lives and one of the main methods of play when we were younger. WWF, AWA, NWA, WCW, all these federations (and many more) probably produced a lot of influence on our

2 Guys Talkin" Toys ·

2023/08/20

Welcome… to the future!For years 3D sculpting and printing has been slowly becoming more familiar and more accessible to the public, more specifically, toy collectors. Replacement parts, add-on kits, character conversion selections, the possibilities are endless. The idea that we can now literally design, sculpt and print a fully functional action figure is amazing, and something that we’ve only scratched the surface of.As always, we encourage you to join in the conversation and let us know what you

Who doesn’t love robots? From the time we started looking up to the stars instead of the dusty trails of the old West, Robots have become a huge part of toys, toy collecting, and our entertainment industry.

2 Guys Talkin" Toys ·

2023/06/25

Do you like surprises?Since the earliest days of collecting, toy companies have been smart to let kids/parents/collectors know what’s in the pipeline. Over the years their methods of doing so have evolved from announcing new product via commercials, to back of the package “coming soon” ads, to the current practice of announcing items that are literally just on the “To do” list. What do you prefer? Do you like knowing what’s coming our way or do you prefer to be surprised by a toy company’s

2 Guys Talkin' Toys - Episode 022 - Star Wars

2 Guys Talkin" Toys ·

2023/06/18

Aside from being a cultural phenomena, Star Wars most likely holds some kind of importance for any and all collectors that grew up in the 70s and 80s (and the 90s and the 2000s). Its importance can never be overstated, it was/is one of the most influential properties and helped set the bar for the way toy companies create, promote, and distribute toys. How did Star Wars impact you as a collector, if at all?As always, we encourage you to join in the conversation and let us know what you think, let's
