Moc. Loose. Collectors. Forever.⚠️ Audio Note: Quick heads up — you may notice a few audio hiccups during the guest segment. One of our guests was joining us live from Germany, and the internet gods weren't fully cooperating

We're going back to the early 90s to another Robin miniseries where the Joker is wild. It's called Robin II: Joker's Wild, and Batman's not in this one, Robin's flying solo! We get some interesting looks at how he interacts with Batman's supporting cast when he's not around. And we also meet some of Robin's own supporting cast. We didn't know he had friends. Then we go onto Ultimates #6 where we distinguish the Ultimates from their 616 counterparts. Next Time: Avengers Academy (2010) #1-9

Bob and Matt continue their discussion of Al Ewing's Ultimates.

With the shocking reveal of Ujigami's true identity and the return of Splinter casting a long shadow over the Turtles, Gene joins us to unpack the heart of the story and why this arc is really about family, fear, and the consequences of overprotection.Visit our Patreon page to see the various tiers you can sign up for today to get in on the ground floor of AIPT Patreon.

Issue #13 drops a massive bombshell with Ujigami's true identity being Splinter. When you decided to make him the force hunting the Turtles' enemies, what was the emotional core you wanted readers to feel first — shock, tragedy, or inevitability?2. Ujigami isn't just a villain; he's a moral crisis for the Turtles. Was your goal to make this run less about defeating an enemy and more about redefining what justice means for the team?3. In #14, the brothers split up to protect their former enemies from Splinter. That's such a powerful reversal of classic TMNT dynamics — what does this say about how the Turtles have grown since their early days of black-and-white morality?4. You've written a lot about identity and duality in your career. How did that background influence your approach to Splinter becoming Ujigami — a mentor turning into something almost mythic and terrifying?5. Shinigami's introduction brings in mysticism from the 2012 animated series. What made this moment in your run feel right for folding her into IDW continuity, and how did you retool her to fit the tone of your story?6. Your first two issues lean hard into supernatural elements — ninja mythology, death spirits, and destiny. Was that a conscious pivot from recent TMNT runs that focused more on politics and street-level crime?8. You've said the Turtles work in any genre. With Ujigami and Shinigami, you're clearly leaning into horror and dark fantasy — were there specific myths, folktales, or manga influences that shaped this arc?9. You and Freddie E. Williams II are creating some striking, eerie imagery in these issues. How did your collaboration evolve once you realized this arc would live in such a darker, more mystical space?10. With Ujigami revealed and Shinigami now in play, it feels like the table has finally been set for the larger story you and Freddie have planned. Without giving anything away, what should readers be emotionally bracing for as this arc unfolds — heartbreak, redemption, or something even more unexpected?11. If the Turtles had to explain Ujigami to April in the most “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” way possible — full of bad metaphors and half-accurate summaries — which brother would do the worst job, and what would his explanation sound like?

Moc. Loose. Collectors. Forever.The FigGuys are officially kicking off 2026, and we're starting the year exactly how we like it — surrounded by wrestling figures, good vibes, and nonstop collector conversation.This week's episode is all about our First Pickups of 2026, and right out of the gate, shelves are already delivering. We dive deep into the brand new WWE Legends Series 29, breaking down first impressions on Rob Van Dam, The British Bulldog, “Mr. Perfect” Curt Hennig, and the legendary Bobby “The Brain” Heenan. From sculpt details to availability, peg sightings, and why this wave feels like a classic Legends home run, we cover it all straight from the collector's perspective. We also get hands-on with one of the most unexpected and fun releases in recent memory — the WWE x Street Fighter collaboration from Mattel and Capcom. From the bold packaging to the character-inspired designs, we talk about how this crossover hits differently, why it stands out on the shelf, and how it blends two iconic worlds into one truly unique line.Beyond pickups, the episode is packed with the kind of collector conversation that makes FigGuys what it is. We talk Target resets, Walmart hunts, preorder strategies, patience (or lack thereof), and the realities of chasing figures in 2026. We also announce the winner of the Hulk Hogan LJN Contest, with LiPumaMania1980 collaborating on the giveaway, and celebrate another collector taking home a true old-school prize. As always, we round things out with a full dose of Wrestling Figure News, covering the latest reveals, preorders, indie figure updates, and what collectors should be paying attention to as the year ramps up. Between Legends, crossovers, retros, Ultimates, and everything in between, 2026 is already shaping up to be a wild ride.

Bob and Matt move into Al Ewing's next run with an extremely powerful team of heroes who have a goal of solving the impossible.

Marvel and DC crossovers are back! This time they come to us in the form of two one-shots called Deadpool/Batman and Batman/Deadpool, with a few bonus short stories in each comic. Are these two collabs better than the big events from years past? We'll find out, and then we'll jump into Ultimates #4, where we finally get a villain... almost. Next Time: Magneto goes to United Nations in Uncanny X-Men #200 + we finally end the Age of Apocalypse in Age of Apocalypse: Omega!  

Moc. Loose. Collectors. Forever.2026 is officially on the clock, and The FigGuys are wasting zero time ringing in the new year the only way we know how — by fantasy-booking the wrestling figures that NEED to happen next.In Episode #086, Mike and Tom dive headfirst into their biggest wants, hopes, and dream releases for 2026, spanning WWE Elites, Legends, Ultimates, deep-cut characters, overdue updates, and figures that feel inevitable… if the stars align. From long-requested names to lineup holes that still haven't been filled, this episode is a full-on collector brainstorming session fueled by passion, history, and years of shelf experience.The guys also break down the first real figure chatter of 2026, react to early buzz, and discuss how Mattel's recent momentum could shape what's coming next. What feels realistic? What's pure wish-list chaos? And which figures would instantly become can't-miss releases the moment they're revealed?Along the way, Mike and Tom talk articulation expectations, era representation, Ultimate Edition potential, Legends depth, and why certain wrestlers feel more relevant now than ever before in figure form. Whether you're a MOC collector, loose display builder, or just someone who loves talking wrestling toys at full throttle, this episode is packed with takes you'll want to argue about — and probably agree with.If you love predicting reveals, dreaming big, and debating what 2026 should look like for wrestling figures… this one's for you.

Moc. Loose. Collectors. Forever.It's Episode 85 and the FINAL FigGuys episode of 2025, and Mike & Tom are closing out the year exactly how collectors should — celebrating the best figures, biggest moments, and wildest highlights from an absolutely stacked year in wrestling toys.This isn't a news-heavy episode. Instead, the guys dive headfirst into a full Year in Review, breaking down Figures of the Year, standout Ultimates, Elites, Coliseum Collection releases, Big Rubber Guys, Ringside Toys, Jazwares, and more — all while bouncing through collector stories, side tangents, and plenty of laughs.From long-awaited returns and flawless executions to surprise debuts and “how did this even happen?” moments, 2025 proved to be one of the most spoiled years collectors have ever experienced, and Episode 85 covers it all.The conversation also shifts to the state of wrestling itself — highlighting standout character work, emotional moments from the year, and why wrestling figures help preserve the memories that matter most to fans.Most importantly, Mike & Tom take time to thank the community — the collectors, creators, companies, and listeners who continue to make the hobby and the FigGuys journey so special. This is a celebration. A send-off. And the perfect way to close the book on an unforgettable year.Here's to 2025 — and an even bigger 2026 ahead.FIGGUYS DISCOUNT CODESSupport the show and save while you build your collection:Ringside Collectibles: Use code FIGGUYS for 10% offFigures Toy Company: Use code OFFICIALFIGGUYS for 10% offBig Shots: Use code THEFIGGUYS10 for 10% off

We're talking comic books, real books, digital reading, and how we actually consume stories in 2025. From diving deep into Marvel Unlimited to cracking open physical comics from Epic Panels, we break down what's working, what's frustrating, and why reading order matters more than people admit. The conversation jumps from the Ultimates line and Ultimate Wolverine to Invincible's Battle Beast, Daredevil: Cold Day in Hell, and why some comics are just not made for casual reading. 00:00 Intro – Getting Back Into Comics (Digital vs Physical) 00:25 Buying Random Comics & Epic Panels Shoutout 01:22 Comic Commentary, Stan Lee, and Jim Lee Footage 01:38 Why The Ultimates Is So Good (And Ending Too Soon) 02:09 Retelling Comics Without Copyright Headaches 03:18 Marvel Unlimited's Strengths and Its Biggest Trade-Off 03:41 Reading House of M, Avengers Disassembled, and Full Context 04:16 How Fast We Actually Read Comics 05:00 Why Reading Order Matters (And Why It's Overwhelming) 06:15 Retcons, Timeline Chaos, and Comic Book Confusion 07:00 Comic Book FOMO vs Casual Reading 07:52 Ultimate Spider-Man #1 and Absolute Batman 09:09 Project Hail Mary Review (Avoid the Trailers) 10:35 Why the Storytelling in Project Hail Mary Works 12:18 Audiobooks, Audible, and Reading Goals for 2026 12:35 Invincible Returns: Battle Beast Explained 14:18 Power Scaling in Invincible 15:00 Ultimate Wolverine and the Best X-Men Stories Right Now 17:44 Daredevil: Cold Day in Hell (Old Man Daredevil) 20:39 Why This Daredevil Story Hits So Hard 21:16 Epic Fantasy Reading: Stormlight Archive & Brandon Sanderson 24:12 Name of the Wind and Unfinished Series Debate 25:02 Final Book Shoutouts and Wrap-Up We also get into: Why Marvel Unlimited is great… and where it falls short The Ultimates run and why it feels destined to end badly Invincible, Battle Beast, and power scaling done right Old-man superheroes, brutal endings, and earned tragedy How reading habits differ (single issues vs full arcs) Audiobooks, Audible goals, and giant fantasy commitments This is a loose, honest conversation about reading for joy, context, and obsession — not checking boxes.

It's the last news show of 2025 and boy there is lots to get through! Ghostbusters, TMNT, DC, Marvel, Spawn, Back to the Future, Blokees, Flintstones and even - (drum roll please) Samurai Pizza Cats! There's some silhouette guessing, flocking expensive kitties, a four pack that has Frank in trouble and a figure literally decades in the making. Then, Tis the season of giving as Tealo surprises us with gift box of goodies! And finally, we do the Secret Santa thing to prove that you CAN buy things for the collector with everything!

Our tour of DC's Absolute Universe continues with Absolute Martian Manhunter Vol. 1: Martian Vision by Deniz Camp and Javier Rodriguez But first, is Jake movin on up? Will Cody be successful one day? Is Cody putting the Red Eye Comedy Fest on hiatus this year? Is this comic psychedelic as fuck? Was Absolute Martian Manhunter made for Comics and Chronic? Is this the best series out of all the Absolute titles? What's the benefit of owning a physical copy of Absolute Martian Manhunter? What's different about the martians in this version? Are Jonn Jonnz and the Martian Manhunter separate entities? Is the Martian Manhunter really just Absolute Gumby? Does this feel like a Grant Morrison story? What makes the art by Javier Rodriguez so special? Will we see martians in the DCU? How are the White Martians different in this universe? Is Darkseid causing everyone to have a fucked up time in the Absolute Universe? Does Martian Manhunter finally get his flowers in this comic? Why is smoke so important in this comic? Should Martian Manhunter in general be more OP? Who is the Martian MILFhunter? Is Deniz Camp a stoner? Will we continue to cover every DC Absolute release on the pod? What are our Absolute rankings? Should we cover The Ultimates next? Is Satan starting a podcast? Is Anthony trying to finish Stephen King's The Dark Tower by the end of the year?Check out the Kickstarter pre-launch page for Superguy issue #2 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mrtonynacho/superguy-2-my-date-with-the-presidents-daughter?ref=creator_tab⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠New episodes every THURSDAYFollow us on social media!

It's the holiday season, so we're reading... oh it's not a holiday comic. That's ok, it's Grant Morrison's Animal Man! We're taking a look at his first 5 issues from the early 90s, where we'll analyze cell reconstruction and Looney Tunes. Then we continued our long read of the Ultimates with issue #3 in which... we still don't have a villain. Next Time: Marvel & DC crossover for the first time in 20 years with 2025's Deadpool/Batman & Batman/Deadpool!  

There is some great, weird and just plain crazy news to talk through today. Have Hot Toys jumped the shark? Is Ben about to drop $1500 on a Soundwave? More Mondo, more Blokees and of course, More Todd. Franks TMNT collection lacks a life size element - could this change soon? Then we compare the newly released Origins Fright Zone with the vintage one - which in itself gives Scot the fright of his life!

Surfs up, it's time for some Silver Surfer comics! Many years ago, we read a single Eisner-nominated issue of Dan Slott and Mike Allred's run on the book, but now we're going back to read the first 5 issues from their reboot in 2014. We meet the Surfer's new companion, Dawn Greenwood, as she tries to teach the Silver Surfer some manners, and make friends with a bunch of aliens. Glorp! Then we continue our long read of Ultimates with issue #2, in which we almost have all of the introductions out of the way. Next Time: Animal Man by Grant Morrison #1-5

In honor of 420, its time to look at some of the weirdest, and wackiest toys ever designed. You really have to wonder, what were they on when coming up with some of this stuff. From poorly thought out labels to accidental nightmare fuel, child endangerment and even a pre-cursor to Siri - combined with, water? Then it's another edition of The Team from the wonderful world of TMNT - but ONLY the Turtle variants. And the choices are not as simple as you might think!

Moc. Loose. Collectors. Forever.The FigGuys are back — and this week, we're LIVE in color with two of the biggest names behind the WWE action figure line: Steve Ozer and Magic Olmos from Mattel!This is the episode for every collector who's ever stared at a figure on the shelf and wondered, “How do they make this magic happen?”From the return of the LJN line hitting Target to the ongoing Monday Night Wars series, brand-new Elites, Ultimates, and beyond — Steve and Magic open up about the design process, creative challenges, and the passion that keeps the WWE line at the top of the toy world.We go deep on:

It's been a little while since we did a non-superhero indie comic, so we're reading about some cute animals living in a cute animal town where everyone knows everyone and they're all happy... until the murders start happening. It's Patrick Horvath's Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees, and it's simultaneously adorable and gruesome. We're taking a look at the first volume to see how apt the Dexter comparisons are. Then, we're starting a new long read with The Ultimates #1, in which our alternative universe Avengers team... is mostly absent. Next Time: Silver Surfer (2014) #1-5 by Dan Slott & Mike Allred!

What was it like returning to the X-office — and what new creative muscles did you want to flex with this run?The title Unbreakable X-Men is powerful — it implies resilience, unity, maybe even defiance. What does “unbreakable” mean to you in the context of this particular team, and how does that theme shape the story's tone?Both Uncanny and Unbreakable highlight complex, emotionally rich women like Rogue. How do you approach writing these characters in ways that balance their vulnerability with their strength — especially amid the chaos of mutantkind's latest era?You've always had a gift for team dynamics — the humor, friction, and found-family energy that make an ensemble tick. What did you want to explore about the X-Men's internal relationships here, and are there any pairings (friendly or otherwise) you especially loved writing?The X-Men have always represented survival and identity, and your run lands during a moment when the franchise is reexamining what those mean. How do you see Unbreakable X-Men contributing to that larger conversation about legacy and what it means to be a mutant now?You've written some of comics' most beloved team books — from Birds of Prey (with an Omnibus out this week!) to Secret Six. How does your time on Uncanny/Unbreakable X-Men compare to those experiences?
