Ken Napzok (co-host of Force Center podcast and author of Why We Love Star Wars) joins us this week to chat the Star Wars Miniatures, the failed line from the 80s.  Why this line didn't connect, why it might have been ahead of its time, and what we would have liked to see if it had continued on.  Leave us a review and subscribe!

Yuma, intergalactic pro wrestling family man, toy maker and life long collector joins us this week to discuss the toys surrounding Star Wars Episode I The Phantom Menace.  How it felt when Star Wars was back, Toys R Us' flooded with incredible characters for a movie we had not seen yet, and the excitement that was 1999.

We are joined by Andres Gallego this week to talk about the Terminator 2 Kenner Line.  How the line managed to survive without making toys of the movies main characters.  And the greatest part of the line, the ability to make your own Terminator, and why we all thought that would usher in a new future.

We are joined by Jim Beard (writer) who talks with us about GI Joe Adventure Team and Major Matt Mason.  Two toys that influenced the media, and pop culture in ways no other line did!  We talk to the appeal of a line that doesn't have a cartoon, or movie or anything surrounding it, writing for characters you love, and much more!

Loryn Stone (Toy Wizards and Pop Lurker) joins us to discuss an array of topics in toys.  What got her back into collecting as an adult, how the hobby evolved with her, Green Power Rangers, Inspector Gadget, what conversations aren't happening in the toy world, and much much more!

We are joined this week by Eric Rodriguez (Nerd Chronic) to discuss the few action figures from Batman '89, how the toys changed the movies, the merchandise crazy for future Batman movies, that may be better remembered than the movies themselves.  And of course, Bob the Good.
