Minisode 58 - Top 5 Spaceships (featuring Steve Chu) Sep 15, 2019

Show notes

It's a VERY special Talking Toys as the guys are joined by friend of the show Steve Chu, fresh off his 792nd straight visit to San Diego Comic Con! The guys have fun discussing Comic Con strategies before they finally get to the main event: Steve wanted to discuss our Top 5 Spaceship Toys. Predictably, there were a few honorable mentions. Settle in, it's a good one!

Talking Toys: Action Figure Exclusive #118 - Sssqueeze Sep 08, 2019

Show notes

As the guys near the end of the line for the vintage MotU line, the desperation/creativity of Hasbro really shines through. Nowhere else is this more apparent than with Sssqueeze. Don't let the dumb name fool you, he's actually kinda neat, as Taylor will convince you during the course of the show.

TalkingToysEpisode84-ExoSquad Sep 01, 2019

Show notes

"Exo" means "Outer"...or something. So this is a Squad of Outers...wait, that's not right. Basically it's a bunch of people in portable construction equipment, but it's cooler than that. You know what, just listen :

Action Figure Exclusive #117 - General Madine Aug 25, 2019

Show notes

Just what we need, another pasty white guy on a podcast. Oh, no, it's not a new co-host, it's just the figure the guys are discussing this time: General Madine. Why did Kenner make this guy? And how good of a job did they do? All these answers await if you only listen!

Minisode 57 - Top 5 Underrated Toy Lines (courtesy of Dario Lorenzetto Aug 18, 2019

Show notes

It's time for another top 5! This time out, the guys had help from friend of the show Dario Lorenzetto, who suggested they discuss their top 5 underrated toy lines. Jeff's #1 may or may not shock you.

Action Figure Exclusive #116 - Sorceress Aug 11, 2019

Show notes

It's hard to believe we haven't talked about this figure before, but that's only because Mattel didn't MAKE the figure til waaaaay deep into the MOTU line. So, NOW it's time to discuss the SORCERESS! Are the guys under her spell? Listen and find out!

Episode 83 - Steel Monsters Aug 04, 2019

Show notes

For once, Taylor did NOT get the best of Jeff. Taylor thought he had a BIG surprise in store when he announced to Jeff what the next toy line would be. BUT, in a glorious turnabout, Jeff already KNEW about the line, and even HAD some of the toys as a kid! Fine, so it's not a twist worthy of M. Night Shyamalan (or, maybe it is, depending on your opinion of his work), but Jeff enjoyed it. So sit back and listen to the guys expound on the unheralded greatness of Steel Monsters by Tonka!

Engineering An Empire with Matt George Jul 28, 2019

Show notes

Jeff sat down with his friend Matt George to discuss the book that Matt wrote with Gary Borbidge and Stephen Ward with designs by Chance Sanderson, Engineering An Empire: The Creators of Kenner's Star Wars Toys. It's an outstanding new book that seeks to celebrate the names and faces behind the toys that we grew up with and never outgrew.

Talking Toys: Action Figure Exclusive #115 - Gamorrean Guard Jul 21, 2019

Show notes

Today's show is hefty in both content and figure! The guys talk about quite possibly the pudgiest figure Kenner produced in the original Star Wars line: The Gamorrean Guard. Did the guys feast on this figure or turn up a pig-nose at it? Listen and find out!

Show notes

Jeff just can't get away from these $%&@ Snake Men! The guys discuss what is (hopefully) the last of them as they look at Snake Face. Taylor is, of course, delighted. Enjoy!
