    Ivy Insights

    The DorkLair podcast is an exceptional podcast for collectors of 6/7 inch action figures. With their weekly reviews and in-depth discussions, this show is a must-listen for anyone interested in the world of toys. The hosts maintain a professional sound and keep up a good pace in each episode, making it engaging and enjoyable throughout. Overall, I highly recommend this podcast to any toy enthusiast.

    One of the best aspects of The DorkLair podcast is the hosts' ability to provide detailed and thorough reviews of action figures. Their insights are thoughtful and they offer honest opinions without overwhelming the discussion with their own biases. Additionally, the show covers a wide range of toy news, providing updates on sales, pre-orders, and upcoming releases. This keeps listeners well-informed and up-to-date on all things collecting.

    Despite its many strengths, one potential downside of The DorkLair podcast is that it may not cater to all types of collectors. While it focuses primarily on 6/7 inch action figures, some listeners who collect other types or scales may find themselves less interested in certain episodes. However, for fans of this specific genre, the show is an excellent resource.

    In conclusion, The DorkLair podcast is a fantastic listen for anyone interested in collecting 6/7 inch action figures. The hosts deliver informative and engaging content with their detailed reviews and current news updates. While it may not appeal to collectors outside of this specific realm, those who do enjoy this genre will find it to be an invaluable resource. Overall, I highly recommend adding The DorkLair podcast to your rotation if you are passionate about collecting toys.
