Did this week feel like the longest week ever to anyone else? Kelly and Lizz have made it through to Friday and temperatures finally reached above freezing. The kids spent the last week enjoying sledding in the snow and even doing a little camping... for all of 20 minutes... Plus, there was some quality TV time with Lizz getting into "The Landman" and Kelly introducing her daughter to "The Parent Trap." Looking into Last Three Transactions, Kelly is still on her Fisher Price grind. Good news - she found the minivan! The Amazon table saga isn't over as another one is on the way to the Stumpe house. Lizz is stocking up on her favorite Lululemon leggings for herself and poo dinos for the kids... It's a potty training thing. Two advice questions this week come from moms on the opposite ends of the parenting spectrum, one with her first kid and the other with three older kids including a teenager. They both need car advice for this season of their life. In Industry News, Kelly has details on a new Toyota SUV and the Chrysler spec car that got stuck in the snow. Finally in Ditch the Drive-Thru is a recipe for a southwest meatloaf that you're going to want to make tonight.
Happy New Year! We're kicking off 2026 with a massive recap of everything that went down over the last few months. Steve and Jon are back to break down the holiday season—from Thanksgiving turkey to Christmas morning and ringing in the New Year. Most importantly, we're looking back at our incredible Toys for Tots toy drive and comedy show. Between the laughs from Jody Sloane and Bruce James and the generosity of everyone who helped us collect over 100 toys, it was a hell of a way to wrap up the year. We're hitting the ground running for the foundation this year—let's get it! In this episode, we talk about: Surviving the holiday gauntlet (Thanksgiving through New Year's). The success of our November toy drive for Toys 4 Tots. Highlights from the comedy show featuring Jody Sloane and Bruce James. What's coming next for the Never Stop Getting It Foundation in 2026.
Marc, Bryon, and Josh are back this week, talking about everything they did during the snowstorm: Marc went to the Train Show and watched the New Pats win big. Bryon catches up on movies: One Battle After Another, Bugonia, The RIP, The Perfect Neighbor, and The Cult Behind a Killer. Josh gives us some local hockey news. We then go over the winners and losers of Saturday Night's Main Event and give our predictions for this weekend's Royal Rumble.

A winter storm isn't going to bring the Car Mom down! Kelly and Lizz are bunkered down and ready to bring you a cold episode of the Carpool and they're kicking it off strong with Kelly's first micro-hobby of 2026. Is she canning? Reading? Quilting? Nope! It's all about hunting down the old school Fisher Price Loving Family House. Toys from the 90s really have nothing on the toys from today. Kelly had a lot on her Driveway Dump today, including some social media trends that are driving her crazy. AI has her second guessing everything on the internet and one video got her good. Lizz is starting to think of baby names, but is coming up empty. Could the name Kelly be an option? There's a correction from last week Kelly needs to make to kick off Industry News. But the biggest story is the Chicago Auto Show and the Car Mom tour you could be a part of. Get your tickets here!

The Pet Shop Girls from Pet Product News with Sherry (Odyssey Pets) and Carly (House of Paws)
In this eye-opening episode, the Pet Shop Girls pull back the digital curtain to reveal how pet businesses can thrive on Google — not by luck, but with strategy.
We sit down with Christopher (Janky Toys) for a wide-ranging, deeply honest conversation about making art, surviving the market, and staying human in the process. We talk DesignerCon, orbiting the toy scene without chasing the spotlight, and why working with artists, not just collectors, changes everything. We get personal about job loss, burnout, therapy, and the cost of caring too much at work. From bootleg toys and parody art to AI's impact on creativity, shrinking runs, and the shift toward smaller, affordable collectibles, this episode wrestles with what it means to keep creating when the ground keeps moving. We end with wonder, Yellowstone, and turning “garbage” into meaningful art. This one's for artists navigating change without losing themselves.On Instagram: @jankytoysThis Episode is Sponsored by: Empire Blisters – Your go-to source for blister packaging!

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.

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.

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. Legions of Power was released in 1986 by Tonka. #219 Pegwarmers Pegwarmers is the codename for toys and collectibles with high supply and low demand. Join Kevin Jones, and his team of collector commandos, as they discuss popular and not-so-popular retro and current toy brands. Check back for new episodes each Wednesday.

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?

Many parents worry about their kids talking to strangers on the internet. What if those strangers are not human, but bots?Concerns over kids' exposure to artificial intelligence have led to growing efforts to regulate that exposure. We sit down with one San Diego lawmaker who authored a law to put guardrails on toys with AI chatbot capabilities. Guest:State Sen. Steve Padilla, California's 18th District

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. This one's about patience, process, and making toys quietly in a global scene.On Instagram: @nofubiThis Episode is Sponsored by: Empire Blisters – Your go-to source for blister packaging!

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? Click HERE!
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.
