Toy Power Podcast

This week on the Toy Power Podcast its time to go retro, as we cover a vintage toy line that was conceived all the way back in 1977 by Larry Hama and Michael Golden: Bucky O'Hare. On the heels of the success of the Ninja Turtles, Hasbro brought these anthropomorphic space adventurers to toy shelves as the battle between mammals and toads raged across the galaxy. Fun and colourful characters drawing on inspiration from Star Wars, and Flash Gordon, wave 1 gave us 10 figures and two iconic space ships. The line was unfortunately cancelled before wave 2 could be released, but not before some packaged prototypes were released. Boss Fight Studio continued the line in recent years, and the elusive 1992 NES game is a holy grail to collectors. We then jump into Latest Scores as the lads talk about the most recent EB Games Buy 1 Get One Free promotion. And then its all round out this episode with State of the Nation as the toy room and collection updates are discussed. Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Its then on to news, where we cover a Mattel creations tease of Powers of Grayskull Eldor, Thundercats Ultimate's wave 14, and a Hot Toys Sentinel that Brett and Scott may just have to divide up like the first edition of Radioactive Man comic book! Want a date in Dune Part 3? We have your popcorn bucket sorted. Then is on to not one but two movies reviews as we cover the bombastic fun of Street Fighter. And then its time for some body horror as we discuss the latest instalment in the James Gunn DC Universe: Clayface. And oh boy, the movie had some of the more squeamish of the group watching through their fingers. And you will find out the question to that perennial question: How you you open your mud-encrusted eyelids on a plane enduring turbulence? Its then onto reading watching playing as we cover some Halloween and non Halloween goodies. Happy Halloween all and try not to eat to much candy!Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
