Podcasts about vintage toys

This week, we're celebrating the dads, mentors, guardians, and father figures who helped shape the worlds we love. From wise leaders and tough-but-fair commanders to adoptive fathers and unlikely parental role models, we're showcasing the action figures and toy lines that gave us some of the most memorable father figures in pop culture. Whether they offered guidance, protection, discipline, or the occasional questionable life lesson, these characters left a lasting impact on generations of fans. We'll each bring examples from our collections, share stories about what made these characters stand out, and discuss the father figures who proved that being a hero isn't always about superpowers—sometimes it's about showing up when it matters most. We also spotlight Mamma's Vintage Toys & Collectibles during our Store Tour segment and talk about whether it's a shop that everyone should visit someday.

Ben is still recovering so the three Musketeers are at it again.

It's March Madness on Cracktastic Plastic—but we're not talking brackets and basketball. We're diving headfirst into the toy chest to spotlight the wildest, weirdest, and most unhinged characters in our collections. From cackling villains and deranged monsters to heroes who might be just a little… off, Jason, Elgn, and Mike showcase figures that prove insanity is sometimes the best accessory a character can have. Expect maniacal laughter, questionable decision-making, and plenty of plastic personalities that have clearly lost their grip on reality. Whether they're mad scientists, chaotic villains, or just plain bonkers, these toys bring the madness in the best possible way. So grab your straightjacket and join us as we celebrate the craziest characters in toy form—because in this episode, the only thing more dangerous than madness… is how much we love collecting it. We also spotlight Dallas Vintage Toys during our Store Tour segment and talk about whether it's a shop we should visit someday.

Connect with Mel Connect with Coach MikkiWhat if “unlucky” is just a story we inherited, and we're free to rewrite it? We kick things off with Friday the 13th and follow the thread through Norse myths, the Last Supper, and the Knights Templar to see how fear gathers power over time. Then we flip the script with Galentine's Day, turning a date with a bad reputation into a bright spot for friendship, humor, and everyday love that doesn't wait for a calendar prompt.From there, we lose it in laughter talking about  the rituals we learned as kids, honking through tunnels, lifting our feet over railroad tracks, counting cows until a cemetery reset, still echo in how we chase luck and ward off jitters. We share the nostalgia of vintage toys and board games (yes, Operation's terrifying buzz and Monopoly debt at age 10), plus the handmade Barbie outfits that prove fashion really does come back around—hello again, shoulder pads. These memories aren't just cute; they're a map of how culture changes and how we choose what to keep.We also open up about what we're building now. Mel's crafting seasonal word search books, sketching cozy mysteries, and launching a stock photo portfolio. Mickey's fresh off a keynote on why comfort zones kill success and is racing to finish a new book before a small East Coast signing tour. Creativity becomes our counterspell to superstition: show up, make something, share it. That's how we make our own luck.If you've ever wondered why 13 feels spooky, whether numerology helps or hinders, or how a sitcom joke turned into a global celebration of women's friendship, you'll feel right at home here. Come for the folklore and stay for the heart, the laughs, and the reminder that joy lands best when it's shared. If this conversation made you smile, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review, what superstition are you still carrying? We look forward to seeing you succeed! - www.KeepOnSharing.com - Code - KOSSupport the showJoin my guests on my YouTube Channel

We're also thrilled to welcome back two absolute legends of the collecting community: Ron Salvatore from the SWCA (Star Wars Collectors Archive), returns offering his expert knowledge and insight on the AT-AT Commander.  Mark Andrew from Variant Villains, diving into production quirks, figure variations, and those subtle details that make vintage collecting endlessly fascinating. We kick off the episode with a look 2 auctions that took place since our last episode and spotlight some of the standout vintage Star Wars lots. We then set to work uncovering all there is to know  about the two Imperial figures who might just be one and the same character.  The shield is down, you may start your landing.

In this episode of Five Idiots Talking Toys, the crew dives into one of the most controversial topics in the action figure community: Is opening a sealed, vintage toy an unforgivable sin?The debate is fierce! We discuss the collector who compared opening a Mint on Card (MOC) figure to "poaching ivory," and we go around the table to see how each idiot feels about breaking the seal on classics like Vintage Star Wars figures, including the dilemma of busted blisters, rare Tri-Logo cards, and the famous Last 17 figures. Plus, we explore how different communities like LJN Wrestling collectors handle the "open or sealed" question and the complicated process of restoring figures (bleaching and yellowing plastic!).Join the discussion! We want to hear from you in the comments: What's your line? Would you open a $300 figure if the card was already trashed?☎️ Leave a question, comment, or show idea on our new FITT Voicemail line: (732) 800-1977Find us on your favorite podcast app!0:00:00 - Intro & Channel Shoutouts0:03:00 - The Vintage Toy Opening Controversy0:05:55 - The "It's Yours, Do What You Want" Argument0:09:45 - When Does Package Damage Make it Okay to Open?
