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!

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.
