Today on the Toy Power Podcast we enter a world beyond imagination and look at the amazing work of a toy legend – the enigma of Marvin Glass. You may not know the name, but we guarantee you’ve played with a toy that this designer/genius inventor has influenced. From iconic board games, action features and innovation, Marvin Glass and Associates has helped to influence the toy industry for over 40 years. This epic tome written by Bill Paxton (not the one you’re thinking of!) details Marvin’s amazing life and career. Big thanks to Bill for providing us the book to review! There’s also some toy headlines to talk through from Zeta Toys, NECA, Disney Plus (cue the karaoke machine) and a big reveal about the amazing Plastic Crack documentary from our good friend Guillmero Olivio. We round it out with some Perfect Modern toys from Cybertron, The Moon, the MCU and the NYC sewers. We also debut a new podcaster Scotty who features on our Patreon. Support the show.
Hasbro has some competition with more details on Zeta Toys’ own 3rd party Unicron figure, Perfect Effect shows us colored images of their 3rd party God Ginrai (AKA Powermaster Prime), and collectors have come up with a fix for the weak knee joint on the new Masterpiece Optimus Prime Version 3.

We’re LIVE! Welcome to Australian Transformers Weekly, your first stop and your last best hope for Transformers news in Australia. This is episode 141, we are recording live on February 9th, 2018 In this episode we’ll be talking about A unreleased generations Kup, The body of a 3p Bruticus takes shape, And we compare two 3p cliffjumpers, All that and much more coming up…. Cut to Intro: Opening credits (8bit Transformers Theme) What have you been up to this week? Shooting cars into space 00:05:38 Bot Shots Weekly https://tccaus.wordpress.com/competitions/bot-shots-weekly-is-now-live/?frame-nonce=34a4a2583c The newest weekly competition in the TCCA Facebook group. Bot Shots Weekly is the successor to put Your Bot to work and follows the same idea. But now we have weekly winners that go into a monthly draw for a prize. Those monthly winners go into a that for a yearly prize. Full T’c n C’s are on the web site at the link provided. This weeks winner is: Marc Obfenda 00:06:59 Happy 3rd birthday ATW formally Off the Shelf. NEWS 00:10:28 Back in 2013, Hasbro released the Transformers Generations Thrilling 30 line, which included Orion Pax. What was not widely known was that many of these releases were designed with alternative heads – one of which was a Kup head for Orion Pax. Orion’s alternate mode already lent itself to Kup, and the alternate head – seen here via images released by Pete Sinclair, formerly of Fun Publications and Botcon http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/02/08/unreleased-transformers-generations-kup-orion-pax-retool-revealed-357948?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook 00:15:42 Much has been made of the fact that Takara Tomy will be releasing Power of the Primes figures essentially unchanged from their original Hasbro forms in Japan. Takara’s Legends line traditionally sees more collector-friendly and cartoon accurate paint jobs on figures, and collectors have been concerned that that may be at an end. It seems from a REALLY poor machine translation that some exclusives will continue, and that Takara Tomy Mall might be the future home of those exclusives. https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/possible-future-of-takara-tomy-transformers-legends-toyline/40615/ http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/02/06/takara-tomy-continue-transformers-legends-line-takara-tomy-mall-exclusive-357754 Other news 00:23:32 Kidrobot Transformers Vs.

Joe Mini Vinyls Gallery http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/02/06/kidrobot-transformers-vs-g-joe-mini-vinyls-gallery-357770?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook 00:28:04 Singaporean Transformers fans are getting a look at Power of the Primes wave 2, just as wave 1 finally goes on wide release here in Australia. https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/in-hand-images-of-power-of-the-primes-sludge-snarl-rippersnapper-moonracer-and-blackwing/40628/ 00:38:03 Via Weibo we have new images of Zeta Toys ZA-03 Blitzkrieg (Masterpiece Scaled G1 Onslaught) Color Prototype. The new images reveal which seems to be the possible final deco of this toy and several images of the alt mode. In a nice nod to the original G1 toy, the alt mode can also add a ramp to its configuration and carry other Zeta Toys figures like ZA-01 Take Off (Blast Off) and ZA-05 Racket (Swindle). You may consider the cannons too big for this mode. http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/02/05/zeta-toys-za-03-blitzkrieg-masterpiece-scaled-g1-onslaught-color-prototype-new-images-357711?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook 00:43:57 Via Planet X on Facebook we have a look at the group’s upcoming figures, Morpheus, Phobetor and Phantasus. The trio are based on the Insecticons Sharpshot, Hardshell, and Kickback (in game names) from Fall of Cybertron. Kickback closely resembles the one released by Hasbro in approach – unsurprising given both draw from the same inspirations – while the other two Insecticons are new designs http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/02/08/planet-x-unofficial-fall-cybertron-insecticons-images-357955?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook 00:47:34 3P company Mister Moon has shared more images of their upcoming Mister Moon Mini Master Series MM03 Grasshopper (Cliffjumper). Grass Hopper is a mini transforming G1 Cliffjumper figure standing about 4 inches tall, ideal for a Legends-sized collection. We have renders and images of the prototype showing a very nice robot mode which includes a blaster cannon and pistol. The alt mode is kind of a mix between the original toy and the cartoon design. http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/02/05/mister-moon-mini-master-series-mm03-grasshopper-cliffjumper-357704?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook 00:49:16 We have some new images of Ocular Max Hellion (G1 Cliffjumper) Color Prototype. This is Ocular Max take on a Masterpiece Scaled G1 Cliffjumper. The images reveal a well proportioned robot mode with a cartoon accurate head. The car shows an interesting balance between a real car and the “cartoon style” and brings us doors and complete seats and details of the interior of the car. To top it all, rubber tires are the small laser gun (seen in the cartoon) are part of the alt mode too. http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/02/02/ocular-max-hellion-masterpiece-scaled-g1-cliffjumper-color-prototype-images-357618?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook And other merchandise 00:55:20 Is that Optimus Prime in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me? http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/02/09/transformers-pyjamas-boxers-tee-shirts-peter-alexander-357993 Statue News The Main Discussion Nil 01:00:11 NEW ACQUISITIONS Brad: nil Max: Open and Play Big Cannon Jason: 01:08:58 TCCA BUSINESS New members can still sign up to get some great club merchandise.

We’re LIVE! Welcome to Australian Transformers Weekly, your first stop and your last best hope for Transformers news in Australia. This is episode 137, we are recording live on January 12th, 2018 In this episode we’ll be talking about We have a good look at the new movie mp Ironhide, Machinima is moving on the disaster train with casting for Power of the Primes, Zeta Toys is going combining thier efforts with some big bots, All that and more coming up. Cut to Intro: Opening credits (8bit Transformers Theme) What have you been up to this week? -Mikey hasbro meet up -Jason London trip 00:09:15 Bot Shots Weekly https://tccaus.wordpress.com/competitions/bot-shots-weekly-is-now-live/?frame-nonce=34a4a2583c The newest weekly competition in the TCCA Facebook group. Bot Shots Weekly is the successor to put Your Bot to work and follows the same idea. But now we have weekly winners that go into a monthly draw for a prize. Those monthly winners go into a that for a yearly prize. Full T’c n C’s are on the web site at the link provided. This weeks winner is: Allen Chang NEWS 00:11:04 First up we have HD shots of this weeks Hong Kong Toys And Games Fair 2018. The star was undoubtedly was MPM-06 Ironhide. We have clear and nice shots of the presentation of the new Autobot Weapon specialist Masterpiece figure. Some of the shots give us a clear look at the back of the toy and the way it manages the kibble. Of course, we have close-ups of the figure in both modes and standing next to his partner MPM-03 Bumblebee. As an extra bonus, we have extra images of the previously announced MPM-05 Barricade. http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/01/10/hong-kong-toys-games-fair-2018-hd-shots-356566?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook 00:14:44 Machinima’s Titans return series ending Discussion. 00:24:35 Next we have the full voice cast of Machinima’s Transformers: Power Of The Prime animated webseries. The list now includes the characters voiced by the artists. Regarding the new talent who joined the already star-studded cast:Mark Hamill – MegatronusRon Perlman – Optimus PrimalJaime King – Solus PrimeGregg Berger – Grimlock/Volcanicus Nuufolau Joel “Samoa Joe” Seanoa – PredakingMikey Way – Snarl Rest of cast on weblink http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/01/10/machinima-transformers-power-primes-cartoon-full-voice-cast-listed-356560?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook 00:28:07 We have an in-hand image of all five Dinobots from Power of the Primes merged into their mighty Volcanicus form. We’ve seen a few shots of the combination at conventions, but this image is the first one we’re aware of in the wild using the toys we’ll all soon be picking up from store shelves. Note that the transformation on the individual figures is not 100% spot on – Slag’s arms for example are not tabbed in here – so the final article may look a little tidier. http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/01/05/power-primes-volcanicus-hand-image-356328?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook 00:31:57 Finally images have surfaced and we now have a better look at Studio Series Voyager Class Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen Megatron. Previously, we saw only a partially concealed teaser of this figure, but now we are treated to its full glory. This Voyager Class toy is based on the Decepticon tyrant’s appearance on the second movie of the Live Action Movie Series by director Michael Bay. As we learned previously, this new toy comes with a cardboard background depicting ‘Forest Fight’; series’ most beloved action sequence. http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/01/08/transformers-studio-series-voyager-class-megatron-fully-revealed-356402?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook Other news 00:39:45 We have our first look at the packaging of Zeta Toys take on the classic G1 Aerialbot Fireflight. ZB-01 Fly Fire is part of Zeta Toys Kronos (Superion/Aerialbots) together with ZB-02 Airstrike (G1 Air Raid) and ZB-03 Silver Arrow (G1 Silverbolt). The back of the packaging is part of a nice Superion art that you can complete with the boxes of the rest of the Aerialbots. The new images let us see the great detail and style of Fly Fire / Fireflight in some awesome dynamic poses and the well integrated jet mode. Some images let us see the way Fly Fire works as Superion’s arm creating a very original and solid elbow. http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/01/09/zeta-toys-zb-01-fly-fire-masterpiece-styled-g1-fireflight-new-images-packaging-356521?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook 00:43:37 Staying with Zeta Toys, we have new Zeta Toys Armageddon (Masterpiece-styled Bruticus) Color Prototype Images. This massive Combiner, designed to go with your Masterpiece collection, is supposed to be around 50 cm. tall and we can see the nice details and proportions Zeta Toys worked on this release. While this is a color prototype, the images indicate they are not the final colors, so we could expect some changes in the future. Three of the components have already been released: ZA-01 Take Off (Blast Off). Zeta A-02 Whirlblade (Vortex) and Zeta A-04 Uproar (Brawl) with the next figures upcoming in the next months. http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/01/09/zeta-toys-armageddon-masterpiece-styled-bruticus-color-prototype-images-356514?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook 00:46:55 3P company Iron Warrior is bringing a full articulated non-transformable rendition of TFP Optimus Prime and, from what we can see from the new images, it is a totally cartoon accurate version which we are sure will please many TFP fans. The figure will feature interchangeable faces (with mouth or face plate), articulated fingers, double regular swords and the iconic and powerful Star Saber sword from the show http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/01/05/iron-warrior-pioneer-transformers-prime-optimus-prime-new-prototype-images-356274?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook 00:51:28 Iron Warrior have also shown off their rendition of Movie Brawl. Once again a non-transforming figure, but still packed with plenty of detail and accessories. http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/01/11/iron-warrior-iw-02-strife-07-transformers-movie-2007-brawl-new-prototype-images-356646 00:54:02 NEW ACQUISITIONS Brad: TR Trypticon Mikey: Open&Play Big Cannon, TR Trypticon w Lables, Encore G1 Sky Lynx, Legends Hot Rod & MP Sunstreaker Max (01:06:21) Takara Legends Skids, Generations Kup with Igear add ons Jason: (01:12:46) everything 01:29:35 TCCA BUSINESS Australia Day bbqs are being organised around the place, stay tuned for info on where.
