Toys For Games 'Cast - Collecting, playing with, and discussing toys-to-life
Episode 121 marks the return of everyone's favorite co-host, Jason Grier! We were lucky enough to catch him right before he heads out to California and the D23 Expo, so you know what that means - tons of fun to be had by all! First we talk about the shutting down of the Skylanders Battlecast servers. Then we discuss all the upcoming amiibo to be released, and where to find them all on release day. We also congratulate the Lightseekers team on the official launch of the figures and accessories. And finally, we discuss and hype up the new Beasts of Balance Kickstarter campaign!!! In the back half of the episode, we read through all the tweets for the #CommunityQuestion, and pick a winner for the #ResponseOfTheWeek giveaway. Finally, we wrap up with emails from the great folks in the community, doing our best to answer all questions thrown our way! All this and more on Episode 121 of the Toys For Games ‘Cast!

The wait is over! The now-infamous Collector’s Edition of the Toys For Games ‘Cast is back, and slightly different than what you’re used to hearing! While Jason is wrapping up his busy Summer schedule, the call went out for a co-host to help out with our podcast dedicated to collecting. Who better to join than fun than the community manager and co-host of the Gotta Watch’em All podcast, Ken Pescatore! In Volume 18 of the Collector’s Edition, we talk a LOT about Pokemon - from Pokemon GO to Pokemon trading cards, and everything inbetween. We also dig into the continuous and steady stream of Tsum Tsums, Skylanders Battlecast cards, and even break down some subscription boxes, thanks to the sponsor of this show, Alex! Oh, and if you can’t get over the notion of Ken wrongly selecting Team Valor, trust me, I don’t blame you. Sponsored By: Alex Carrejo, @AtariAlex!

It’s the dog days of summer, but the heat can’t slow us down on a Friday night full of madness and hilarity. We chat about discontinued fast food items, Santa being booed off the field, overpriced Olympic t-shirts, and an unforgettable and incredibly awkward Periscope from one of the members in our community! Don’t worry, toys fans, we eventually get down to brass tacks and talk about your favorite franchises as well. Starting off, we have our now weekly Pokemon GO update, before jumping in to talk about the recently released amiibo display stands. Then we glide over to Skylanders to break down the nine new figures unofficially announced and some hilarious rumors from Sweden. We break down the Disney Infinity online server shutdown timeline, which is as big of a mess as you would expect it to be. Finally, we talk all about the news that came from San Diego Comic Con regarding LEGO Dimensions, including Sonic and Wave 7. The #CommunityQuestion was a tad more emotional than anticipated, and we picked another winner for the Response of the Week. The Inquire This! segment put the expert to the test about Skylanders Battlecast. And finally, we had plenty of great emails from the community.

After a busy couple of weeks trying to make sense of the Disney Infinity cancellation, and doing our best to bring peace and understanding to the community still heartbroken about the news, Episode 73 was finally our chance to try and find normalcy for this podcast. Unfortunately, nothing is normal when it comes to the Toys For Games ‘cast. The sheer amount of tangents on this week’s show might be enough to drive anyone to madness, but the news in the toys-to-life genre this week is enough madness for anyone. Even the Joker, apparently. When we get down to the brass tacks of the show, we discuss the Finding Dory Play Set gameplay leak, the launch of Skylanders Battlecast, possibile exclusive LEGO Dimensions figures, and the reveal of high-quality Monster Hunter amiibo! We then examine the #CommunityQuestion, and give away another reward for “Response of the Week.” We also have another great Inquire This! Trivia segment, where the expert had the chance to prove his claim to the throne. The voicemail segment was an absolute blast, especially because it worked this week! And of course, we also answer a bunch of great emails, as always, from the Best Community Ever. All this and more on Episode 73 of the Toys For Games ‘Cast!

In this week's episode, we cover the conclusion of the long-running Homestuck webcomic, and segue into some mobile gaming with Skylanders Battlecast and Kingdom Hearts Unchained X. We move back to comics and talk about Dark Horse's Zodiac Starforce as well as Oni Press' Another Castle. Along the way, courtesy of KnightofOA, things get off the rails, but we eventually get back on topic. You can catch Pint Size Ginger on Twitter, Tumblr, as well as on the Playstation Network (same). You can always catch Knight's articles (Matt Mueller) on ComicBook.com, and you can reach me on Twitter and on PSN. As for Chasing Geek, you can follow us on Tumblr or on Twitter.

What does the last episode before a trip to Boston for PAX East combined with a slow news week sound like? Coincidently enough, it sounds a lot like this episode - Episode 67! What other toys-to-life podcast will you hear riveting discussion about the mustache of Benedict Cumberbatch or the rules of duels? Here, and only here. There is a bit of news to touch upon, including weird Amazon pricing of LEGO Dimensions, Skylanders Battlecast pre-orders in the UK, GameStop pre-orders for unannounced Disney Infinity characters, and a little tidbit about amiibo restocks. We also examine the #CommunityQuestion, and give away the first reward for “Response of the Week.” The Inquire This! Segment is back, with a question dating back to the 80s, and we also answer a bunch of great emails, as always, from the Best Community Ever.

Episode 61 starts off by doing something we can’t do enough - thanking you all for all of your continued support and love! Seriously, it means the world to us both. After that, we talk some politics, which was mainly just Jason explaining his landslide victory as an elected official awhile back, and how the political superstar celebrated. Divining into the world of toys-to-life, we discussed our high hopes for new amiibo announcements, the team behind LEGO Dimensions receiving cool trophies, Skylanders Battlecast being MIA, and a complete wrap-up of the Disney Infinity NEXT event, and where we go from here. We also talk extensively about the #CommunityQuestion, skip the Inquire This! trivia question, and answer a bunch of great emails. All this and more on Episode 61 of the Toys For Games ‘Cast!

Despite a relatively slow news week, the show must go on, as the say - which meant, of course, Episode 54 happened. While there wasn’t a ton of stuff to talk about, Jason and Josh still managed to cobble together a show, filled with previews of the upcoming releases for LEGO Dimensions and amiibo, another chat about the Skylanders Battlecast cards, and an interesting discussion about Disney Playmation. The #CommunityQuestion asks which upcoming release is more exciting (SPOILER: Greg Miller is RIGHT), and the Inquire This! trivia question challenges the expert about a unique trade. And as always, a few emails to round off the show. Also, our Patreon is discussed, and we’re looking for feedback on that! Thank you, to all of you wonderful fans and supporters of Toys For Games throughout the year. We love each and every one of you. We’ll catch you next time, at the FIRST ANNUAL TOYS FOR GAMES AWARDS!

Episode 53 is a Friday night special, with special guest Matt Sonnenberg joining Jason and Josh for yet another episode of the Toys For Games ‘Cast! They start off talking about the First Annual Toys For Games Awards, followed up by a chat about Matt’s new, upcoming project, Collection Crossing. When the trio of collectors finally get down to the news, they discuss the release of the Shovel Knight amiibo, the continuing great sales for LEGO Dimensions, JV trolling Disney Infinity fans, and the upcoming Skylanders Day. Jim Dough, a baker from New Zealand, also gives everyone a complete breakdown of the new Skylanders Battlecast card game. The #CommunityQuestion asks about buyer’s remorse, and the Inquire This! trivia question challenges both experts on the lore of Skylanders characters. And as always, a few emails to round off the show, including a great video from a loyal fan that has to be seen to be believed! (Don’t worry, Jason and Matt do their best to describe the action!) Thank you, to all of you wonderful fans and supporters of Toys For Games throughout the year. We love each and every one of you. Cheers, to 2016!

Former Senior Advisor for Digital Media for the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Mark DeLoura joins us to talk about educational video games and how the industry can succeed. First, we have to go over the news. Skylanders BattleCast is coming out next year and Simone is really, really... not excited, for once. There's also the Serious Games Showcase and Challenge, which is accepting entries now. Nicole is also really excited about Hearthstone, as usual. Then we get into the meat of discussing games for education, and how the Xbox Kinect deserved better. If you have any questions for us, email them to hello@pixelkin.org! We'd love to answer them on the show
