Two dummies (Adam and Blake) discuss the #toylife but it’s mostly jokes because we’re not competent at real collecting or serious podcasting. Think of a really good podcast. It’s like that, but for action figures.
SURPRISE! Adam started his own podcast, and it has joined the AUX family. It's called Scrambled Transmissions, and it's about anthology television shows (Twilight Zone, Black Mirror, Perversions of Science, etc). You can listen to it wherever fine podcasts are found. We've decided to drop a sample episode in this feed in which Adam has Blake on as a guest, and they talk about the very first Tales from the Crypt episode, "The Man Who Was Death." They also discuss vigilantism and some other deep shit. Also, some parts are funny! Shelf Life will be back next time with your regularly scheduled(?) programming. [Check out more AUX podcasts here](http://aux-network.podiant.co/) Like us? [Support us on Patreon and get bonus content too!](https://www.patreon.com/auxaudio)

Blake is back from vacation with an Extreme Power Pharaoh Warrior (classic toy) which was apparently meant to battle the devil. We're also talkin' new X-Men Marvel Legends waves and Mondo Exclusive TMNT figures. Plus, a discussion of our toy GRAILS. What is a grail and what isn't? (Muppets and Super Powers Batman are totally grails). Special guest Jessica joins us once again to talk McDonald's toy nostalgia, because everyone needs a nugget friend. She also plays a new game with us called DITCH OR DISPLAY and it's an instant Shelf Life hit. Basically, we're Marie Kondo-ing our figures, and you won't believe what DOESN'T spark joy. Music: moreofthat.bandcamp.com

BOTH Arnett brothers join us this time, including new guest and GI Joe fanatic Jon, as we delve into the most iconic plastic army men of the Reagan era. We wonder--and expert Jon helps us unpack--why doesn't anyone like GI Joe anymore? EVEN MORE of the Arnett family history is revisited, as it is so inextricably tied up in GI Joe nostalgia. We go beyond just Joe talk too, and broach cerebral topics like the psychology of our collecting addictions, and the dark nature of capitalism itself. But don't worry, we spend plenty of time talking about Chuckles! Jon recounts the glory days of the insane folks on the GI Joe forums in great detail. Then there is some...disagreement between Jon and Blake about Batman and Tom King. Had to shut that shit down. Music: More Of That (new album out now on your favorite streaming services!)

NO THIS EPISODE IS NOT JUST ABOUT BEANIE BABIES. Have to make that clear. But our guest, known toy-hater Josh, read a book on the topic (The Great Beanie Baby Bubble) so we decided to talk about collectible bubbles and how they burst. Are your toys really an investment? Are Funko Pop!s the same as Beanies? Listen and find out! (Spoiler: maybe?) Mostly, though, this episode is a free-form comedic exploration of what's on Josh's drunken mind with occasional tangents into his TWISTED political rants, GI Joe, and religion. Also: Toys we weren't allowed to have. Satanic Pogs. The Berenstain Bears go toy crazy. Garbage Pail Kids. Live opening of Trolls blind bags. Warning: Josh says "bitch" SO much. Like a suspicious amount. Original music by More Of That.

BATMAN. CATWOMAN. BLACK PANTHER. Ninety minutes, folks. Blake had the most amazing toy day of his LIFE--plus he got the Mondo exclusive BTAS Batman figure recently--and he needs to dish about it like crazy. We're gonna deep dive into a review of this 12" bad boy. And hey...what time period did Batman: The Animated Series take place in, anyway? Because Blake and Adam are going to butt heads over it. Next, Blake went buck wild on some MARVEL LEGENDS BLACK PANTHER WAVE 2 figs, and...a PRICE MIRACLE happened at WALMART. You won't believe your ears. Also: Mezco One:12 Collective Catwoman. Yup, Blake got that today too. And it rules. The boys discuss some...interesting news about MacFarlane toys and the DC license. It's been so long since we did a podcast Blake done nearly lost his voice on this one. But so worth it! Music: More Of That

Welcome to 2019, everyone! In our first episode of the new year we lament Blake's Ongoing Mondo Batman Saga. We spend a lot of time on Adam's new Nightmare on Elm Street NECA Accessory Set (featuring a very special snake!) and Mezco One:12 Popeye. There is talk of a Ghostbusters / TMNT / Back To The Future crossover spec script penned by Adam. Blake says SLAPS way too much. We go deep into the Spider-verse (a movie which slaps). Join us in Kustomizer's Korner and meet Blake's new modded Fallout Guy. There's an old man Fortnite rant! Also: DC Collectibles Artists Alley, Star Wars Black Series Archives, Mattel loses DC to Spin Master, Red Dead II horsepunching, and listener questions!

It's still Christmas here on Shelf Life! We're only 5 days late! This time we're talking all about a little Christmas toy movie called LIFE-SIZE 2 which may or may not have the subtitle "A Christmas Eve." This movie poses the question, What if a Mattel-type company decided to cancel a Barbie-type doll in favor of something called "video game apps," causing the doll turn human in an attempt to save her own wretched life? Also, a spoiled millenial learns a valuable life lesson or something, and baby boomer writers teach us what they think it means to be woke. Then, we exchange toys in possibly the saddest gift exchange ever captured on microphone. ~Music credits~ -Shelf Life holiday theme song - More of That (moreofthat.bandcamp.com) -Decorated (Yeah It's Christmas Time) - Redwood -Be A Star 2 - Tyra Banks feat. New Fear's Eve
