Toy Power Podcast

This week on the Toy Power Podcast; we have another segment of The Team!  This round pitting not one; not two, but THREE different Villain Sub-Groups against each other in a plight to crown the perfect Character that lines up with the A-Team Format.  BUT, there are some ground rules!  We must pick ensure a Villain is represented from each sub-group!  Who are these Sub-groups you ask?!? Well its the Thundercats, Silverhawks & TigerSharks - representing Land, Air & Sea respectively.  A really fun discussion that has some quite diverse choices indeed!!  Then we pivot across to another Galaxy, Far, Far Away.  Andor Season 2 has wrapped, & we have a fairly healthy discussion about what made this series so enjoyable.  All this & more, Enjoy!Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dan Larson refers to it as an "oddity", an

This week on the Toy Power Podcast; we shine light on quite an old property; that is The Shadow!  From its origins in Pulp Comic Format to the Hollywood Film in 1994 staring Alec Baldwin.  That Film was classified big enough to spawn a corresponding Toyline from Kenner.  Trent unpacks what was great, and what was left in the dark, around this neat property.  Then we switch gears, and have a FULL-ON Spoiler lead discussion around the new Marvel Film that is: Thunderbolts - or New Avengers?!?  We run though how each character played their part; the tone of the film & what we all overall thought of it too.  Keen to hear from your thoughts on this Film too!Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
