This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we have a MASSIVE show organised for you!  As we attempt to cover almost all the wonderful news &amp; reveals from the juggernaut that is San Diego Comic-Con!  We have a small batch of Pre-Con news, and then we get stuck into the Con headlines - breaking them down into Company Brands.  Kicking off with Mattel, (with a bonus breakdown from Criss Fresh on all things Wrestling); then Super7, Mondo, Nacelle, Neca, Hasbro, McFarlane &amp; Mezco.  We have not one, but two "Shut-Up-And-Take-My-Money!" sizzle reels!   Then we rate the overall Companys display presence against each other - who was the overall best in our opinion?  Plus an interesting convo about if we even missed the Hollywood cinematic side of things this year?  This is probably our longest episode to date; so strap in as we break it all down for you!

#320: The Chronicles of Dave Holder!!

We’re not QUITE at SDCC yet, but that doesn’t stop the usual suspects dropping all their exclusives in what feels like Christmas in July. We revisit a pair of crowd funded projects – with wildly different results. ThunderCats fans rejoice (or cry depending on your financial outlook) cause there is some BIG confirmations here… The Todd keeps doing Todd things but has he peaked with arguably THE definitive Batman figure? Who is the new Supergirl actor, according to Hot Toys anyways. (Yikes) Mondo bring the heat with some great new MOTU and BTAS offerings before we dive into the current Hollywood strike situation and just what does it mean for some of our favourite upcoming projects. All this PLUS a true (toy) tragedy that unfolds live on air for Producer Scot.Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#314: TMNT Blitz and Toy Fair Recap

This week on the Toy Power Podcast; we challenged ourselves like never before!  The crossover event of our careers!  So please look forward to a Quiz show devised from Matt Teale'o; with participants from Dave's Video Graveyard &amp; Geek Dudes; pitched against the Toy Power Team. This is actually Part Two of our crossover with good friends DVG and GeekDudes. If you’re wondering what happened to Part One; you’re not alone. I think Davey said it best, that when eight podcasters all yell at the same time, while chaotic and fun in places, it doesn’t necessarily make for good listening. On review, our decision to remove the PG filter wasn’t the right call either. Darren once said “Toy Power should be for everyone” and Part One simply didn’t fit that mantra - so it won’t be released. So for now, enjoy this family friendly quiz Battle Royale between us &amp; our good mates.

#304: Fresh from Headstart

What happens when Producer Scot fails to come up with exciting content for the latest episode of Toy Power? We turn to our amazing Patreons and ask them to cover out collective backsides. Our Patreons have delivered the goods and hit us up some hard-hitting questions. Is there a toy Heaven or Hell and what toys would we send there? Will we be collecting toys as geriatric senior citizens? Which Toy Power member would Trent choose as his Lego Masters partner?  Where the hell is Ben for this episode? We tackle these questions and many more in this exciting episode.Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#303: Creatively Bankrupt. (AKA - Patreon Questions)

Really enjoy sitting in on each of the discussions the fellas have and always enjoy the jabbing that takes place back and forth. This group is a pinnacle example of fun within the pop culture toy community as it doesn’t take itself to seriously but always pours passion into the conversation with an open ear to learning about other lines and history outside their main favs. Please note, this five star review will automatically decrease to four stars if I do not receive The Blank on card within a reasonable amount of time. Thanks for the effort and fun, boy-os!

Great fun with a group of mates

I absolutely love this show. The guys do a wonderful job covering everything TMNT, MOTU, Ghostbusters, Marvel Legends, DC, and so on toy and collector worthy. They’re fun to listen to, thorough, and really add to the excitement of upcoming and current releases. 

They produce a lot of content which is great as it’s a joy to listen to on my commute to and from work. Absolutely worth a listen if you haven’t yet.

Toy Power Podcast

We made it – we actually made it. For some reason you all keep listening so we’ll keep on making it! Our good friend and 5th podcaster Davey joins us for this milestone ep where we look back over the year that was and dish out some awards. But hold on, what’s this?? *GASP* who is our SURPRISE guest???  In this celebration, there are no rules as we throw the timer out the window in this extended episode. There’s loads of categories to get through and a whole bunch of your feedback to shoutout – what was the best movie, best show, most fun toy and many more including the big one – the single best toy of 2019. Despite our growth some things remain the same: Darren struggles to pick one while Davey stirs the pot – in particular the Star Wars pot. What does Frank’s video game choice say about him? Is Davey planning a spin-off Toy Power show? How many awards can one Shredder toy win? Which toy line is classed as the coriander of 2019?  Davey revels in his quizmaster duties and honestly, proved that despite his tough exterior, he’s a bigger nerd than all of us. Also, we suck. But now you versus us thanks to a new interactive component. As it is the season of giving, we once again do some Secret Santa proving that Ben can’t count, but makes up for it with a double gift surprise. We will be having a week off over Xmas so we hope this extended ep makes up for it! A big thank you to all Toy Power fans, you guys and gals are top shelf!  &lt;3  Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#150: Toy Awards of 2019 + SURPRISE guest!

Today on the Toy Power Podcast, we have another special guest this time from our hometown in Mr Brett Owen. Known throughout Adelaide as the host of one of our favourite pop-culture events, we muse on what could have been in a non-COVID world. Finding out more about a 10-year old Brett automatically makes him Franks fave, while Trent gets all flustered about the best way to film dinosaurs. So why put yourself through the stress of organizing such an event? Because Bretts a big softie and just loves the community too damn much! But there are some perks like a MOTU purchase tale that just keeps getting better. As a comics guy Brett wows the team with breadth of knowledge, passion and a staggering collection that is library worthy. How does he keep track of it all? Where do you stop (or don’t) and what’s his craziest find?  Then we chat around the Diamond closure, what does this means for the industry and the big one: Digital vs Physical books? Sorrynotsorry for triggering some of our Breaking The Panel friends!Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on the Toy Power Podcast, with Trent on holidays, the team welcomes in an overseas stand-in, one of our fave Patreons, Mr. John Caulfield!

We then go through our latest pick ups and John gives us a wonderful breakdown on what Masters fans can expect from from Mondo. Ben goes 3rd party with a MOTU custom that surpasses the original, while Frank tells a positive retail experience – it’s nice to be nice people!

#144: John Caulfield - 110%

2020 has only just begun but there is already so much Star Wars to talk about! So much so that the guys decided to call in an expert from a galaxy far far away in Marty!  We hit him up with the usual Toy Power questions but not before he hits Frank with an absolute zinger!  Then it’s Rise of Skywalker time to see just what we all thought about the latest (and final) chapter in the Skywalker saga. Did JJ pull it off and stick the landing? How the heck do you wrap up a 42 year storyline? Which one of us is “one of those guys on the internet” with an unpopular opinion?  What did we think of THAT cameo and how do Power Rangers tie into the mythology? Marty confesses to having lost his love for the franchise – did this movie help or hinder that? Goes without saying there be spoilers ahead…  Then it’s a shift into hyperspace as we look at the other new Star Wars in The Mandalorian. Are we the target audience?  Marty takes us through a great look at the Mando culture while we ask the obvious question: How much do you hate THOSE Storm Troopers?  But importantly, what about those toys?  And Baby Yoda – he is the way.Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
