This week on Toy Power we are joined by the legendary Fresh. First up its an amazing Canadian themed gift box from Colin Betts and some genuinely amazing goodies including one very special custom! Its then into all the news, including the HasLab Cantina funding update, Garfield and Friends, an Ultimate D&D Tiamat (complete with all 5 heads) and new comic Kull and Conan figures! Fresh then gives us some good news for getting your hands on wrestling figures in Australia (and good news for your wallet too). There's new video game figures from Spin Master, and then a tonne of TMNT news starting with a totally NOT Bebop figure, a 1:12 Collective Casey Jones (already sold out), the long awaited Tatsu figure from the  1990 TMNT movie (but why is he red?) and Karai as the Shredder (Fresh's cosplay of choice). Fugitoid is relegated to an accessory in the Last Ronin accessory pack, and then we a get (more) naked Mikey (come on, they are always kind of naked anyhow). Rounding it out with some1988 Michael Keaton figures from Beetlejuice before we get excited from the new Captain America film. Then all the SDCC 2024 exclusives, including one reveal that is, lets just say, not well received.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast; we challenged ourselves like never before!  The crossover event of our careers!  So please look forward to a Quiz show devised from Matt Teale'o; with participants from Dave's Video Graveyard & Geek Dudes; pitched against the Toy Power Team. This is actually Part Two of our crossover with good friends DVG and GeekDudes. If you're wondering what happened to Part One; you're not alone. I think Davey said it best, that when eight podcasters all yell at the same time, while chaotic and fun in places, it doesn't necessarily make for good listening. On review, our decision to remove the PG filter wasn't the right call either. Darren once said “Toy Power should be for everyone” and Part One simply didn't fit that mantra - so it won't be released.

We touch on the quality and collectability of these juggernaut toy lines; with their heavy hitting - well known properties, especially movie companies - marketed at kids versus the fast food inhouse promotional characters, plus the fashion behind them too!  Don't forget the coupons and promotions to get you to keep coming back.  The conversation segway's to corner deli's, VERY HEALTHY cereal toys, and Tazos in chip packets among other things.  Davey gets serious for a second and gives us a detailed history of Tazo's & OddBodz releases as well.  **(Please note - this is all very Australian based memories from us - other countries Fast Food outlets may be named differently.)**  Then we change gears as Master Trent lines up a 'World Cup Fever Quiz' - parting us into two separate teams!  Very far from any sports orientated theme actually, and this quiz becomes quite dissident and goes on to become a penalty shoot-out!  Stay tuned for the tightest, most uncontroversial quiz of all time!Massive thanks to Trent, Ben, Frank and the late great Darren for allowing us to steal their homework this week. Listen to us on itunes, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.or direct download the mp3 from the link below:https://www.buzzsprout.com/186739/12466971-dvg-ruins-toy-power-podcast.mp3?download=true#davesvideograveyard #toypowerpodcast

Growing up in Kansas, my family didn't have much money to spend on things like toys and games. I didn't do without, but my collection of toys was small in comparison to what kids have today. And that got me thinking about potential opportunities to capitalize on this trend. In today's episode of The Stock Power Podcast, I share a 100-rated Power Stock with a strong lead in the toy market. I've learned more about toys in the last 14 months than I ever knew before. That's because my first grandson was born last year. My wife and I have spent a good amount of money on plush toys, toddler games and every other thing for a child you can think of. It's our first grandchild, so that's what we're supposed to do, right? This week's Power Stock is a company that designs and sells a wide range of children's toys and games around the world.

How kissable are Timothy Oliphants lips? Is Star Wars Power of the Force actually good? The Todd suddenly impresses Davey. Trent (despite being absent) is a bully. NECA are slipping on multiple fronts. Terminator and MOTU officially cross-over. To the punks who want less representation in their franchises: SHUT. UP. Davey gets jealous of Criss Fresh. Frank sucks at segways. Just like how Seinfeld LEGO isn't great. And, belly buttons. The list of toys to buy just keeps on growing.

This week on Toy Power the team is joined by Chris Finlay (aka Webstor.83) to talk all things toys. Yep, the IQ of the room is instantaneously skyrocketed into the stratosphere... but that's not the only mind-blowing aspect of having Chris on the show! His collectors dream house is displayed beautifully with 4 full rooms of toys, collectibles and video games that mean the TPP boys are already planning their next trip to Southern California (and will each get the best guest room imaginable)! Trent takes note on how to "negotiate" more space in his own house, whilst pondering how long it would take to get dressed if he had an 80s shrine (including vast MOC goodness) in his wardrobe! Chris talks about what the average year looks like in the Californian toys scene and its an extravaganza of toy shows and pop culture events. Darren is blown away that Masters of the Universe makes it into Chris' lectures, so we all know that we can learn a thing or two by studying this 80s phenomenon. We also have a really insightful conversation about gender roles in both pop culture and toys, and how stereotypes can permeate into our collective childhoods and culture. We breakdown some of the toys that are interesting to consider and the broader implications of how media can shape the world we live in, and the implications this can have on identity. A really fantastic episode to be a part of, we cant wait to talk more to Chris in a future episode.   Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcast See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Then it’s Latest Scores time as we find out how much it takes to earn a free PopCulture pin – the answer varies.

Cinemax's Warrior was one of my favorite series last year as a fan and as a critic. Based on an original concept by Bruce Lee, the show was created by Jonathan Tropper and Justin Lin and blends drama, the Old West, and martial arts. Set during the Tong Wars of San Francisco’s Chinatown in the second half of the 19th century. it follows martial arts prodigy Ah Sahm, a Chinese immigrant who arrives in the City of Lights under mysterious circumstances. Once he proves his prowess as a fighter, Sahm becomes a hitman for one of Chinatown's most powerful organized crime families. That said, while Ah Sahm is the central character of Warrior, he is surrounded by powerful female characters that push the story of the series farther and offer up a look at the intersections of race, gender, and class. This is no truer than in Ah Toy, the most powerful businesswoman in Chinatown, who just so happens to be a madam. Portrayed by Olivia Cheng, Ah Toy is a powerful woman who understands how the world sees her, both within her Chinese American community and among the white men she deals with. I was lucky enough to get the chance to speak with Olivia Cheng before the launch of Warrior Season 2. In this interview, we discuss the series' relevancy during the current rise of anti-Asian hate crimes and how the series introduces audiences to Asian American history. Warrior does this in multiple ways, but referencing specifical historical moments to Ah Toy herself, a character based on a real woman of the same name. A self-proclaimed history buff, Cheng explains how she knew the history of San Francisco ahead of shooting the series, but dove even further into by learning more about Ah Toy, of which there isn't much written from her perspective.

We touch on the quality and collectability of these juggernaut toy lines; with their heavy hitting - well known properties, especially movie companies - marketed at kids versus the fast food inhouse promotional characters, plus the fashion behind them too!  Don't forget the coupons and promotions to get you to keep coming back.  The conversation segway's to corner deli's, VERY HEALTHY cereal toys, and Tazos in chip packets among other things.  Davey gets serious for a second and gives us a detailed history of Tazo's & OddBodz releases as well.  **(Please note - this is all very Australian based memories from us - other countries Fast Food outlets may be named differently.)**  Then we change gears as Master Trent lines up a 'World Cup Fever Quiz' - parting us into two separate teams!  Very far from any sports orientated theme actually, and this quiz becomes quite dissident and goes on to become a penalty shoot-out!  Stay tuned for the tightest, most uncontroversial quiz of all time!

There's MOTU: Revelations casting news that has Darren skipping down the mall singing at the top of his voice (and on an unrelated note, the Mall's never been so uninhabited!) Thanos gets a new figure that your going to be so happy the team over at Mezco decided to click into existence, and the new Two-Face that has so many accessories he might as well be called Fifty-Face! Some delicate observations of a minor "flaw" with the new Masterpiece Arcee, that has some of the strangest descriptions of robotic-female body parts you will ever hear in your life. And how much exactly did Frank have to pay the marketing teams over at Boss Fight Studio to get a figure made in the exact likeness of his Spirit Animal? It's then over to the guy's hopes and dreams for New York. Who wants a shiny new Dr. Killemoff? Who is wishing to see what next for Mondo's Mecha line (Voltron anyone?) And who just wants a pony. Time enough for latest scores, and there's a bounty of figures... including the extremely impressive Dethlatron from NeMA studios.

Word up Panel Breakers! Here is the much talked about best of 100 clip show. In this amazing tome of knowledge, you will get the origins of our running jokes, the best mistakes we have made, the laughter, love, and a good sample of our discussions when they get serious. You get some hits like "Travis's Mom Calls In", "What Weasley", and of course "There is no Batman!" As a special bonus, you will hear the original appearances of Tony P. Henderson, Travis Jones, and Casey Stroz. I hope you enjoy everything that has gone into the making of 100 episodes as we have loved the journey. A big thanks to Mike Woodard for everything he does in the production field. You will hear some audio bits throughout the episode that he originally put in, and the last run of the audio is all of the cold opens he chose throughout the year. Plus you get a very cool fan submission opening in the style of Rick and Morty. This particular episode is a labor of love and I tried to highlight everything that has been great about Breaking the Panel. Also one last thank you to Toy Power, Tony P. Henderson, and Carl Dodge for sending in comments to celebrate us doing 100 shows. We really appreciate the love.

Today we get festive as the silly season is upon us! Our un-official fifth member of Toy Power has returned, Mr Davey Damaged, who helps regal us with Christmas related stories and banter. Everything from Frank's crazy Spanish customs, Ben's huge-Farm adventures and Davey's legit Outback Bogan tale.  We also cover Xmas movies and the list is EXTENSIVE - is there a fav of yours we missed? Then there's our own "Santa reveal" stories. It was at this point, Darren tells the saddest Xmas tale you will ever hear. Seriously, you WILL cry! But we bring the humor back as Trent dresses as the creepiest Snowman ever and we look at the worst presents ever recieved. If that wasn't all enough, Trent has a genuine surprise for the team that caught us all off guard. Other highlights include, Davey's "Cyber-Grip", a 2-minute pitch on the classic toyline Hook (RUF-FEE-OOOOOO!) and we wash it all down with best-of clip highlighting just how many times we goofed over the year. Wow!  Merry Xmas from everyone here at Toy Power!  Support the show.

#31: Bootlegs

Just like the Toy Power Podcast may feel like a cheap, hastily compiled imitation of a real Podcast, bootlegs find a way of attracting customers too. They often grace the pegs of undiscerning retailers and cheap stores alike. From the weeping TigerMan (beg for mercy, TigerMan... BEG!), to the Sense of Right Alliance, bootlegs can be a forgotten part of our childhood memories.  But perhaps there is more to this topic than meets the Robo-Changer-Heroes eye. No longer simply producing combinations like He-Man in NFL attire or cheap, inferior copies of the real deal, bootlegs have in some instances evolved into high quality copies, virtually indistinguishable from their genuine counterparts. The rise of 3rd Party, including legions of "Transformers", are becoming more readily available. Does this trend simply fill a hole left by some toy companies? A way of market testing certain products? Or is it slightly more sinister in that it directs money away from official licence holders, potentially damaging future viability of official releases? "On the charge of death of a toy-line we find the defendant... INNOCENT!"  Bootlegs can be a divisive topic with strong views from some Collectors. Join the Toy Power lads as they dissect, give it a bath, and then reassemble this topic.   Support the show.

Holy factory fire, Batman. Discover all you need to know (and then some) about Kenner's groundbreaking Batman: the Animated Series toy line. Discover which vehicle barely made it out of the factory before it was engulfed in flames (don't blame the Joker), why is Robin looking so buff, and which toy-line was the first to provide customers with even case ratios between Batman and his Rouges Gallery (ok, yes its BTAS). Any good Batman variants? Will Darren give the Toy Power "thumbs up" on any Batman variants? How much did Combat Belt Batman cost in Toyworld in 1992? Is Penguin's coat made of cloth, felt or a felt-like cloth? All these questions will be answered in the Toy-line Retrospective if you are tuned into the same Toy Power Time and same Toy Power Channel! Then, let Frank blow your mind with billions of quiz questions about the 10 lego blocks that Lego has produced over the years. Wait, have I got that right. I'm in trouble for this quiz. And was Frank's latest score perhaps the best action figure ever made. Find out in Episode 29 of Toy Power! Support the show.
