This Week on the Toy Power Podcast; we have special guest DaveyDamaged join us yet again to round out the last episode for this year.  Keeping in theme with this time of year; we start things off with our Annual Kris Kringle.  We keep things so secret, we forget to name the gifts themselves!  Then onto the final round of Patreon Questions.  The stand-out being linked to the episode art- if we where famous actors - who would we would be?  From the mind of Davey:  Ben- Jackie Earle Haley; Trent- Jermaine Clement; Frank- Oscar Isaac & Scot- Mark Strong.  Davey is kind of left officially unanswered.  Who do you think would play him?  Also; please don't zoom in on the cover art as it may give you nightmares!  Overall heaps of laughs.  Merry Christmas to you all!

This Week on the Toy Power Podcast; we have special guest DaveyDamaged join us in studio to boost up the antics & derail our otherwise PG rated episode.  Starting things off, Ben has a very scary - very Australian story about an uninvited guest entering his Toyroom....  Then we change gears and celebrate something exciting; the HasLab Ecto-1 Vehicle has smashed it's goal & is now a guarantee for all those that backed it!  Then we get into the main segment of this episode; which is entirely made up from Patreon Questions - with specific request, to try & make them non-toy related.  Yeah, this is a great opportunity to get-to-know us more, and find out how we tick.  This was a really fun episode, and we hope you come out of this knowing us a bit better.  Enjoy!

This Week on the Toy Power Podcast; instead of coming up with a witty & ground-breaking new segment; we decide to actually go back & finish off some of the older segments that we have started.  So this round we each have a Top 5 selection of Heroic Toy Beasts & Vehicles that had a release in the 70's & 80's.  We come up with a very diverse list; even with some questionable nominations too!  Then; in keeping with this episodes theme, we look back at the Films we initially shouted out for 2024: & do a round table review on what we actually thought on them.  Surprising that collectively there are many we still haven't seen!  But as always, some are clear standouts over others!  All this & more.  Enjoy! Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on The Toy Power Podcast, with Halloween still fresh in our minds, we invite DoesTEN back on the show to give us a great insight on how the American's Celebrate this famous Halloween event.  Including some neat stories from his youth.  Then keeping with that similar scarry topic, we embark on creating a Top 10 list, detailing some of the more questionable Horror Themed Toys that where marketed to Kids (pre 2000).  Some of them derive from Horror Films of the same name, and others are stand-alone properties that have Horror themes.  We absolutely must give Swamp Thing a shout-out too as he has been depicted in some quite mature Comicbook story lines too.  Did we miss anything, please let us know!Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Originally Published in 2018 Today on the Toy power Podcast its our Halloween House of Horrors special! And what makes an episode more special than our favourite guest and self-confessed expert at scaring kids, Mr Davey Damaged! We look at the spookiest, creepiest and down0right disturbing toys every produced. From the glory days of the 80s with Warrior Beasts, Skeleton Warrors and Aliens, through to the modern era dominated by the likes of McFarlane and NECA. We then branch out into some of our favourite Halloween episodes from TV-land. Simpsons, Goosebumps, Scooby-Doo and even Supernatural. Working our way out of the spooky-land we answer some fan questions including how would we handle a Monsters in Pocket/Mighty Max reboot line, and a virtual wish-list of what figures we want from our fave modern toylines. Safety warning for this episode: Trent likes to lure girls into bathrooms, Ben likes to scare his future-wife with Gremlins and Davey does a creepy good Trent impression in one of our more memorable out

Where are we at with our Toy Collecting habits & what might be on the horizon?  Plus some fun reflection stories from the past too; (or two?).  A little bit of Hot Toys banter; with a name drop of a potential on-par competitor company by the name of Jazzinc Dioramas - their Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman is outstanding!  We question- who and what is a Matt Bush?!  Then we get the low down on just how YHS began, but also their impressive involvement in all things Ghostbusters related; - including some involvement with the new films!!  Then we do another round table segment of Latest Scores otherwise known as Pi

Today we have a bit of everything. There's some cool cool reveals to chat through including Secret Wars, deep cut Batman 66 and The Loyal Subjects big announcement. Another great kickstarter to spend monies on and the always awesome Radical Rewind event to recap. Then its present time as we get a care package from the legend Tealo! We attended a Toy Store grand opening and while it was amazing, it was also the source of some Toy Power controversy - one of the team has some explaining to do! Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this special Toy Power episode we are joined by author Paul Flavel. He’s just released an amazing new book called John Martin's: The Story of South Australia's Beloved Department Store, which has been over 5 years in the making. We chat about many amazing memories of this beloved South Australian department store, from the incredible toy department (largest in the Southern hemisphere, that’s a fact, Jack) to the indispensable Eliza’s cafeteria (where the malt for your milkshake is always available), through to the Christmas pageant and the undisputed home of Father Christmas. If you have a love for this beloved SA retailer, do yourself a favour and check it out at https://www.johnmartinsbook.com (print run 1 is selling fast). You can curl up with your Marty bear and a cup of coffee from Eliza’s and enjoy this beautiful book that so beautifully captures an important part of our State (and Australian) retail history.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we have Matt Teale back, to join us for another fun episode.  But first, Matt would like to promote his upcoming journey in the "Shitbox Rally".  Which translated into driving through Australia, across some very formidable roads.  Matt & co-driver Chris aka Darstardly & Muttley, will be embarking on this journey next year, and is looking for donations, in a campaign for the Cancer Council.  (Link bellow.)  Then we jump into our Main Topic, which is another Best-Of-Voting crusade; this time all based around the Toy Heroes released from the 70's & 80's.  We each have 5 votes each, with rules of no double-ups and no calling out the same character each from a franchise.  This is another great run-down and suprisingly diverse too.  With an extra voter on the pannel this round, its not suprising we have a few double-ups, but thankfully we have some secondary fall back choices.  Rounding out the ep, we run out of time for a proper Latest scores chat, but there is a sup
