Every so often, Taylor comes up with a toy line that Jeff has never heard of. This is one of those times. When that happens, Jeff's assumption is that Taylor really likes the line, because Taylor likes EVERY line. Sometimes, Jeff is wrong.

Well folks, it finally happened, Taylor suggested a toy line and knows NOTHING about it. I'm as shocked as you are. BUT that doesn't mean the guys didn't have a worthwhile discussion about one of the weirder lines we've discussed: Tiger Sharks! Are they tigers, or are they sharks?

Tim Burton makes good movies. Sometimes. In 1996 he made a movie. It had potential. But that's about it. It also had a toy line that had potential.

Man, when they said "more than meets the eye" they really meant "MORE than meets the eye" - Wave 3 of Transformers has over 40 toys in it! We didn't have time to discuss each one individually, but I think you'll find we covered the wave pretty exhaustively.

And here we are, at the end of all things. At least, the end of all things Kenner Star Wars Action Figures. Yak Face was never distributed in the U.S., but everyone seems to like him, so we decided to give "Joe the Marlboro Camel" some love. And Taylor revealed that he doesnt' understand cigarette marketing.

It's high time we all admit that sometimes, Orko is really cool. ESPECIALLY when the Four Horsemen are working on him. That's right, folks, Orko has been redeemed! Thw 200x line of Masters of the Universe really knocked this one out of the park. How far out of the park? Listen and find out!

As promised (back in 2016) we are BACK with more Dino Riders goodness! We REALLY didnt' think it had been THAT long since we first talked about this line. Better late than never, right? Series 2 had some terrific toys to choose from. What were our favorites? Listen and find out!

It's time for the last Ewok. No, tha'ts not a super depressing novel, it just so happens to be that this is the last ewok from the original Kenner line that the guys haven't discussed. Warok is a weird figure, in all the right ways. Listen as the guys discuss why this little guy actually creeps them out a little.

This week, Jeff reveals he never got the pun on Evil Lyn's name until he was a full(ish) grrown(ish) adult(ish). But that doesnt' mean he didn't appreciate the phenomenal work of the Four Horsemen on this figure. What does Taylor think? Take 3 guesses then listen to find out!

It's time, folks, Another wave of Hasbro's G.I. Joe, A Real American Hero line! That means we are joined by our good friend and fellow podcaster, Mr. Dan Zehr from Coffee With Kenobi!!! Listen in as Dan's opinions change right before your ears! Go to www.CoffeeWithKenob.com for more of Dan!

As we near the end of the original Kenner Star Wars line, we come to yet another Ewok. This time, it's all about Romba. Sure, his name may sound like a geometric shape, but there's nothing square about this guy. I apologize for that joke. Anyway, listen and find out what the guys think about this little guy!

It's everyone's favorite 3-eyed creep! The guys talk Tri Klops. Did the Four Horesman improve on an already-stellar design, or did they muck it up thrice? Listen and find out!

Remember that TV show that you loved that stuck around one season too long and just got weird and/or sad? Yeah....the same thing happens with toy lines. In this case, it happened to MASK. The racing series was a stretch but it worked. This...this, just, no. No, Kenner, No. Why? Never fear, the guys DID find some good things to say about thsi wave. Not much, but some good things. Listen and find out what they are!

He's Green, he's NOT mean, he's Luke Skywalker in his Endor duds! This one...yeah...this one has the guys confused and conflicted. I mean...his helmet doesn't come off?!?!? Seriously?

This guy has a LOT going on....a cool metal jaw, an arm with some killer (literally) attachments, a hoop on his head to zip-line with...what's not to love? Not much, because the guys are really keen on this one. Listen and find out how much they love Trap Jaw!

On this week's show, listen in real time as Jeff discovers his intense need for a Roy Scheider action figure. Seriously, folks, this is a toy line that REALLY deserved more. Listen and find out why!

What's the only think cooler than a Lando figure? A soft, smoooooth cape, right? Well, this figure has both! Plus a big gun! Sure, he doesn't match his movie counterpart exactly, but that's ok, isn't it? Guess you'll have to listen to find out!

See, he's got a mechanical neck, so he's MEKANECK. Get it? He's also got mechanical arms and legs and...yeah he should have just been "Mekaman" right? We think so, too. Enjoy!

The name is Bond. James Bond. Kinda. See, it's James Bond's nephew...so...why is he Junior? This is just one of the many questions raised and never answered on this episode. Listen and find out what the others are!

We're back to talk about the only female droid in the Kenner Star Wars line: EV-9D9. I suppose we could make a "joke" about this being the only figure with a mouth that moves, but we're better than that, so just listen and enjoy the show!

It's everybody's favorite human cannonball: RAM MAN!! Is the 200X version as cool as the original? Listen and find out!

It's October, so it's time to get Spoooooky. This time, the guys discuss Monster Force! If you saw the cartoon in the 90s....can you explain it to us please? The toys are cool, but that show was...yeah.

He's green and jowely..he's Barada!! Yellow vest and puffy sleeves, yet he still looks mean. How does he do it? Listen and find out what the guys surmise about the last of Jabba's henchmen!

Yeah, and monkeys might fly out of my....wait a minute....IS Stratos a flying monkey? The guys continue to debate this strange character and the work done by the Four Horsemen on this latest installment.

Ok, this one has one of the weirder concepts of the toys we've discussed, which is saying something. They're football players who go back in time to become knights in order to rescue King Arthur from...you know what, just listen to the show, I don't have the energy to recap this....

He's wrinkly, he's creepy, he's tall, he's green, he's yellow he's Amanaman!! This guys is one of the priciest of the final 17 figures. Is it worth the price?? Listen and find out!

Gurgle gurgle glub glub. That's underwater-speak for "This week the guys dive to the depths yet again to discuss another version of Mer Man!" This one is super cool because he was designed by the Four Horsemen! Do the guys drown in their discussion or do they make it up for air just in time? Listen to find out!

At what point does the use of "Extreme" cease to have any meaning? It's at least 1 step AFTER the name "Extreme Dinosaurs" because these things are indeed EXTREEEME!!! But does that make them good? Maybe. You'll have to listen to find out!

Sure, he was onscreen for about 5 seconds. Sure, he's an old, pasty white guy with no accessories. I forgot where I was going with this. Anyway, the guys do manage to find some good things to say about Anakin Skywalker, so listen and learn!BIG Thanks to our Patreon supporters, you guys are the best!:Mr. Matt MooreJared HartChristopher ScheetzSeth SzilagyiCajun Baz Wayde BurtonPam JohnstonOliver SandersHeather JaworskiDario LorenzettoLaird HendersonSteve B ChuGary RickelmanChristian BardeCory DrakeJames GarrettDirkStephanie Simatovich
