Episode 247: When Toys Age Badly Apr 25, 2022

Show notes

After covering Joe toys that have gone from zero to hero in our eyes, it's only fair that we ask the inverse: which toys did we buy thinking we'd love... only to now think dramatically less of?

Plus we answer the age old questions like who would win in a fight: Batman or Captain America; and does anyone really love Spearhead?!?

Show notes

We're back with another fat chat! Hiya Toys GI Joe announcement, the reactions of folks to getting the HasLab Razor Crest in-hand, late G1 Transformers, He-Man... its a wild grab bag of random stuff! Plus, what toys were criminally underutilized in the classic series and could have found a home in the Battle Corps, either as a redesign or straight up redeco? Thanks Matt L for the topic suggestion!
