Podcasts about toys

This week on Radio Free Cybertron, the spotlight lands on Missing Link Grimlock and whether its size, features, and price make it the Dinobots fans have been waiting for. We also take a look at McDonald's latest Changeables-style Transformers, revisiting a fast-food classic with modern flair. Along the way, Brian catches up on recent pickups, sharing impressions on what's landed, what's impressed, and what maybe should've stayed in the box.

If you were fortunate enough to grow up in the decade of the 1980s, then chances are you have fond memories walking up and down the isles of iconic toy stories, places KB Toys, Toys are Us, FAO Swartz. Their shelves were lined with toys that defined the years of our youth – Cabbage Patch Kids, Transformers, GI Joe, Tickle Me Elmo, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. In the weeks after the Christmas Shopping Season, it's easy to reminisce about days past of wish lists and letters to Santa. What you may not realize is the connection of many of these childhood toys to one single man, not named Santa Claus. His impact and presence in our lives is as indisputable as it is unrecognized. Today we open a new chapter to the profile of an individual who played a key role in all of our childhoods and whose creative mind paved the way for toys invented well beyond his passing. Happy New Year everyone! It's the Missing Chapter Podcast. Want some Missing Chapter merchandise? Click ⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠!

In this episode of the CCPT Game Changers series, I take a close look at battery-operated toys in the playroom and why they require much more intentional consideration than we often give them. I explain how toys are selected—not collected—and why simplicity, creativity, and non-prescriptive design are essential for preserving true child-centeredness. Many battery-driven toys introduce noise, music, scripts, or actions that interrupt the child's flow and subtly direct the play in ways that interfere with the therapeutic process. I walk through how to evaluate whether batteries actually serve a meaningful, real-world function or whether they distract from the child's needs. Using concrete examples, I explain when batteries may be appropriate (such as emergency vehicles or walkie-talkies) and when they undermine the child's autonomy and imaginative work. This episode is about refining discernment in the playroom—removing unnecessary distractions, protecting the child's freedom, and ensuring every toy supports, rather than interrupts, the child's therapeutic journey.

We sit down with Josh of Gong Kong Studios to trace a path that runs from childhood anime obsessions to tattooing, and eventually into soft vinyl toy making. We talk Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh, obscure robot cartoons, and how discovering sofubi at a hardcore show flipped a creative switch. Josh walks us through the real learning curve of toy production; failed airbrushes, resculpting after tough feedback, scaling figures down to what actually sells, and navigating factories with help from the right people. We also dig into convention strategy, booth design, glow-in-the-dark variants, and why collaboration matters more than doing it alone. This episode is about saying yes to a new medium, learning in public, and building toys one decision at a time.On Instagram: @gonkongstudiosThis Episode is Sponsored by: Empire Blisters – Your go-to source for blister packaging!

Legions of Power was a vehicle construction toy line that included very tiny figures. This toyline didn't get syndicated 80's cartoon treatment, so it failed to take off.

Full Episode on Patreon Ben here, today Jacques, Hesse and I discuss Betty Boop entering public domain, how that will change her appeal, and how we plan to profit off of it by making our very own Boop movie. Plus we take a look back our 2016's and discuss the threat of a nuclear war.

Do you think these toy companies are changing for the good or for the worse? They seem to be dialing into the fandom, but at the same time, pricing many of us out of our casual lines. We'll have to see the price of these new Joe / TMNT crossovers, but they have definitely sparked collector interest. Transformers is attacking on every front, but those prices. The most exciting Star Wars news is from LEGO, but again, man, the prices. Finally, the best things from MOTU are 3rd party homages at a relatively reasonable price.

Is the new MrBeast Lab Mutators toy actually just a box of trash? This week, the guys are fired up about excessive toy packaging! It's not about the toy itself; it's the giant pile of plastic and cardboard garbage left on your floor after a 5-minute unboxing. In today's episode of Fivie Idiots Talking Toys, we talk about the new Mutation Chamber and break down the shocking amount of single-use plastic required to get to the action figure. While the figure itself might be cool, we have to ask: Is the "experience" worth the landfill waste? Let's discuss the problem with modern toy packaging gimmicks. We talk about the biggest offenders, from modern surprise toys like LOL Dolls and #mrbeast Lab Mutators to the gigantic boxes for Marvel Legends and DC Multiverse action figures. Plus, we dive into the nostalgic #toypackaging of vintage Star Wars and debate the actual value of saving all those boxes!What toy packaging drives you crazy?

This week on Cracktastic Plastic, we're shining the Bat-Signal and diving headfirst into the world of Batman toys. From classic Kenner figures and animated-era favorites to modern takes on the Dark Knight, Batman has been a cornerstone of toy collecting for generations—and for us, he's always been a must-have on the shelf. This episode is inspired by our very special guest and CORPS member, Mike Ward. We're thrilled to have Mike join us as we turn the spotlight over to him. We'll ask Mike to introduce himself, walk us through his toy-collecting journey, and share how he found his way into the hobby. Of course, we'll also dig into the big question: what is it about Batman that keeps him coming back to the Caped Crusader time and time again? We also spotlight The Forgotten Toy Box during our Store Tour segment and talk about whether it's a shop we should visit someday.

We sit down with Dan to explore how a life spent in Hong Kong, at the crossroads of Eastern and Western pop culture, shaped his path into toy design. From growing up surrounded by kaiju, Ultraman, and untranslated toys, to building a career in commercial design, this episode traces how creativity evolves without ever disappearing. We talk soft vinyl, 3D printing, factory precision, and why limited, in-house production matters when you want control over your work. Dan shares the story behind his first sofubi release, Goldie, selling out without online hype, and how market realities in Asia influence scale, pricing, and paint.

Somewhere along the way, experiencing things stopped being the point — now it's just about being seen experiencing them.This episode is my running commentary on the People Parade: the main-character energy, the phones-out-for-everything crowd, and the absolute inability to exist in a moment without turning it into content.From disrespecting animals to ignoring rules to treating the world like a personal backdrop, I unpack why being around people feels more exhausting than ever — and why I'm increasingly happy opting out. There's yelling (earned), there's humor (unhinged), there's a near-emotional breakdown involving a baby kangaroo, and there's a full acceptance of my final form: flawed brand, low tolerance, zero interest in being palatable.If you've ever gone somewhere incredible just to watch everyone ruin it for themselves, welcome to the parade.socials:https://www.instagram.com/twndpodcasthttps://www.twitter.com/twndpodcast

As we move away from the holiday season and into the new year, we tend to be reflective.  And one of the things that the holiday season brings out in us is, apart from the black Friday craze, is an appreciation of having time with family.  On today's episode of the Missing Chapter, we take a look at a power couple.  This husband and wife duo were visionaries, entrepreneurs, and risk-takers.  And who better to inspire them to take a courageous leap into the toy market but their own children.  And the toys that they created are going to blow your mind.  They are certainly the Handlers of the toy industry, hint hint, but don't worry, we got a handle on this topic, and our coffee mugs.  Welcome to the Missing Chapter.Want some Missing Chapter merchandise?

In this episode, we talk about something so many families struggle with quietly: toy clutter.Inspired by Simplicity Parenting by Kim John Payne, I answer a listener's question about how to keep toys (and clutter) from taking over your home — especially when kids are gifted so many toys, toy rotation feels overwhelming, and letting things go brings guilt.We'll talk about:• why a simpler environment supports children's nervous systems• how too many toys affect attention, behavior, and play• how to decide which toys to keep and which to release• how to talk to young children about having less• how to set kind but firm boundaries with extended family• and how parents can confidently lead the environment of their homeThis episode is for parents who want calmer homes, deeper play, and an environment that truly supports their family — without extremes, shame, or perfection.If clutter has been weighing on you, this conversation will give you clarity, reassurance, and practical next steps.

As another year of collecting draws to a close, the Triple Takeover crew sit down to reflect on the Transformers toys that defined 2025 for them.Rather than chasing completeness or release lists, this episode focuses on personal favourites — the figures that made the biggest impression in hand, sparked the strongest emotional response, or simply reminded us why we enjoy collecting in the first place. From the long-anticipated Missing Link releases to standout modern designs and ambitious large-scale projects, it's a year that offered a surprising amount of variety.We talk through what made figures like Sunstreaker feel genuinely special, why releases such as HasLab Omega Prime and Age of the Primes Superion stood out in a crowded landscape, and how 2025 balanced nostalgia with forward-looking ideas. Along the way, the conversation naturally widens into thoughts on collecting habits, changing priorities, and what really makes a toy memorable over time. It's a reminder that the value of a collection is often measured in experiences rather than numbers.—Chapters0:00:00 Intro0:06:09 Setting the discussion rules0:11:05 Sponsor chat0:13:58 Jason's first choice0:23:20 Liam's first choice0:38:39 Sixo's first choice0:48:30 Jason's second choice0:56:04 Liam's second choice1:08:17 Sixo's second choice1:18:45 Honourable mentions1:32:52 Patreon Q&A—Enjoying the show?

In this episode, Carly and Sherry unpack the hidden “LIMITS” that often hold back independent pet retailers and brands. They introduce a powerful acronym—L.I.M.I.T.S.—that identifies the six common barriers to growth in the pet industry:

We're diving deep into kaiju culture, business reality, and what it really takes to last in the indie toy world. From childhood obsessions with Pokemon to turning collection into creation, we sit down with Dave to trace a decade-long path of trial, failure, and hard-earned clarity. We talk DesignerCon strategy, why business discipline matters more than pure creativity, and how failed Kickstarters don't have to define you. Dave opens up about gatekeeping, trusting your instincts, and building toys that are weird, wearable, and fun. This episode is about originality over trends, relationships over hype, and staying grounded while carving out your own lane in toys. Perfect for builders trying to grow without losing the joy.On Instagram: @akashikrecordstoysThis Episode is Sponsored by: Empire Blisters – Your go-to source for blister packaging!

While writing a long introspective post about the new year would be par the course on most sites, blogs, what have you, I tend do that all year. So, because I have been putting off stuff since my birthday, I'll just leave you with this…

Nate sits down with country music star Jason Michael Carroll ahead of his special holiday concert in Sidney. The show has since taken place and benefited Toys for Tots and Operation Merry Christmas. Jason has built a remarkable career in country music, with his 2007 debut album, "Waitin' in the Country," reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and producing hits like “Alyssa Lies,” “Livin' Our Love Song,” and “I Can Sleep When I'm Dead.” He shares his background, his journey in the music industry, time in the Marines, his path through addiction and recovery, and much more. Jason even closes the episode by performing a song from his new album. A big thank you to Curley Wealth Management and Alpine Metal Roofing for sponsoring this local concert.
