So...this guy's an actor? That still confuses Jeff. But not Taylor, he explains it ALL to us on this latest episode. Listen and learn!
So we've been doing this show for over a decade and somehow we've never officially discussed our favorite toys of ALL TIME!! So we thought it was time to do that. And since it's a special show, we have a special guest, the one and only PAM! You know her, you love her, and if you don't know her, you'll love her after you do. What is Taylor's #1 toy of all time? And what is Jeff's? And most importantly, what is Pam's?!?!? Listen and find out!
Jeff hates bugs. Taylor loves bugs. So guess which one of them likes this guy. Surprise! They both like it! How much? Listen and find out!
Every so often, Taylor comes up with a toy line that Jeff has never heard of. This is one of those times. When that happens, Jeff's assumption is that Taylor really likes the line, because Taylor likes EVERY line. Sometimes, Jeff is wrong. Listen and find out if this is one of those times!
It's time to put on that neck brace, folks, the guys are talking WHIPLASH! This one is a weird one, even by Masters of the Universe standards. How does it compare to the OG from the 80's? Only one way to find out!
Well folks, it finally happened, Taylor suggested a toy line and knows NOTHING about it. I'm as shocked as you are. BUT that doesn't mean the guys didn't have a worthwhile discussion about one of the weirder lines we've discussed: Tiger Sharks! Are they tigers, or are they sharks? Listen and find out!
It's almost like getting 2 shows for the price of 1 this time out! The guys discuss the Four Horseman update of one of their favorite MOTU figures, TwoBad! Did this update improve the character, or did it fall short of the original? Listen and find out!
Tim Burton makes good movies. Sometimes. In 1996 he made a movie. It had potential. But that's about it. It also had a toy line that had potential. Some of that potential was met, and the guys will tell you all about it on this latest episode!
She's back and she's bad! Teela as presented by the Four Horsemen is all kinds of awesome, and we're here to break it down in minute detail. Does her Hot Dog Hair make it tough to take her seriously? Listen and find out!
Man, when they said "more than meets the eye" they really meant "MORE than meets the eye" - Wave 3 of Transformers has over 40 toys in it! We didn't have time to discuss each one individually, but I think you'll find we covered the wave pretty exhaustively.
And here we are, at the end of all things. At least, the end of all things Kenner Star Wars Action Figures. Yak Face was never distributed in the U.S., but everyone seems to like him, so we decided to give "Joe the Marlboro Camel" some love. And Taylor revealed that he doesnt' understand cigarette marketing.
It's high time we all admit that sometimes, Orko is really cool. ESPECIALLY when the Four Horsemen are working on him. That's right, folks, Orko has been redeemed! Thw 200x line of Masters of the Universe really knocked this one out of the park. How far out of the park? Listen and find out!
As promised (back in 2016) we are BACK with more Dino Riders goodness! We REALLY didnt' think it had been THAT long since we first talked about this line. Better late than never, right? Series 2 had some terrific toys to choose from. What were our favorites? Listen and find out!
It's time for the last Ewok. No, tha'ts not a super depressing novel, it just so happens to be that this is the last ewok from the original Kenner line that the guys haven't discussed. Warok is a weird figure, in all the right ways. Listen as the guys discuss why this little guy actually creeps them out a little.
This week, Jeff reveals he never got the pun on Evil Lyn's name until he was a full(ish) grrown(ish) adult(ish). But that doesnt' mean he didn't appreciate the phenomenal work of the Four Horsemen on this figure. What does Taylor think? Take 3 guesses then listen to find out!
It's time, folks, Another wave of Hasbro's G.I. Joe, A Real American Hero line! That means we are joined by our good friend and fellow podcaster, Mr. Dan Zehr from Coffee With Kenobi!!! Listen in as Dan's opinions change right before your ears! Go to www.CoffeeWithKenob.com for more of Dan!
As we near the end of the original Kenner Star Wars line, we come to yet another Ewok. This time, it's all about Romba. Sure, his name may sound like a geometric shape, but there's nothing square about this guy. I apologize for that joke. Anyway, listen and find out what the guys think about this little guy!
It's everyone's favorite 3-eyed creep! The guys talk Tri Klops. Did the Four Horesman improve on an already-stellar design, or did they muck it up thrice? Listen and find out!
Remember that TV show that you loved that stuck around one season too long and just got weird and/or sad? Yeah....the same thing happens with toy lines. In this case, it happened to MASK. The racing series was a stretch but it worked. This...this, just, no. No, Kenner, No. Why? Never fear, the guys DID find some good things to say about thsi wave. Not much, but some good things. Listen and find out what they are!

Wow. This was unbearable, Jeff has zero idea and doesn't let Taylor get his point across most of the time. Last one I'll ever listen to and I got no more than 10 minutes in.
