Strong Collectors : Recent Episodes
Dakota Phillips & Jordan Fash
It's time to talk toys. Your hosts, Dakota and Jordan, are two grown men who never lost their love for action figures. With our years combined, we’ve been collecting for nearly half a century. However, we noticed there aren’t nearly enough podcasts about toys so we decided to make one. While we mainly discuss Marvel Legends, we aren’t afraid to wade into DC Multiverse, Spawn, NECA, Star Wars Black Series, and whatever other lines we can’t resist. So please, pop in your earbuds, open up the toy box, and nerd out with us. And, as always, stay strong!

Although we've always been strong collectors, there was a time before we were THE Strong Collectors. From the time we were kids playing with toy to the empire we've now created, this is how we got here. From playing with He-Man toys, to Marvel Legends. Our first comics and how we learned about the characters we now love today. Join us on this trip down memory lane.

We're back with some more Hasbro Marvel Legends leaks, or at least maybe we are. This list comes from an IG story from sergiothecollector. We have out doubts on this one being that we've just seen the new wave of Across the Spiderverse figures but still, just in case, let's talk about it.
Today we're talking about Hasbro's new idea of made to order figures in place of the Marvel Legends Haslab. The Haslab format might make a return in the future but it won't be this year. Which method do you prefer?

Here's our way out wish list for Hasbro to make these Marvel Legends. The rule was you had to pick something unlikely that needed the extra Hawk Tuah to get made.
Today we're talking about comics that should maybe just stay comics and don't actually need turned into movies.

Today we're taking a look at the possibility of Agents of Atlas joining the MUC. The MCU has been pretty hit or miss for most. Can this be what saves the MCU or will it be the final straw that send fans over to the DC side of cinema?
Today we're talking about what could be coming on the Marvel Legends X-Force retro card. We know they didn't make it just for Deadpool so let's see if we can guess what figures will be in the 6 figure wave.
Today let's talk about these possible Mafex leaks. So far we've only been duped once but still take everything with a grain of salt because there is always the chance we've been bamboozled. With that being said, I really hope these are true.
We finally get to see the HasLab Giant Man in all his glory. The fans seem a bit divided so where do you stand? Are you getting him? Will your troop build?
We think it's a pretty safe bet to assume the next HasLab will be Giant Man but what could the unlocks be and how much is this going to cost us fans? Dakota really wants him scaled down from Galactus and at the ever elusive "reasonable price".
Today we're looking at the brand new wave of Cosmic Legions available for pre order right now. These are looking good and we'll need to put in a few of these in our cart for sure. Will you be picking any up?
Today we look at one of the biggest most elaborate action figure scams we've ever seen happen in the Facebook groups. We'll also talk about the times we've been scammed and how to avoid them.
Today Hasbro Marvel Legends is dropping the new Hydra and Shield 2 pack. You know how much Dakota loves his troop building. He'll be getting at least 2 of these. The down side here is we have already been getting multiples of Quake so it's really the Hydra agent we're after. But, the accessories here do seem to make it worth it. What do you think?

It's time for something a little different. Rather than talking about the normal Hasbro Marvel Legends, Mythic Legions, or McFarlane DC Multiverse, this week we went searching for something totally new. We stumbled upon the 9 to 5 warriors. They're a unique group of 3.75 figure that will bring your office cubicle to life. From doughnuts to pencils, these figures are made up of all manner of office supplies and are some of the most unique figures we've seen in a while.

Let's talk about what we expect to be coming next year with the Spiderman VHS 2 packs. What figures do we expect to see for the first time and which ones do we expect an update for. Spider-Man the animated series was a huge part of our growing up and big reason why we both love Spider-Man. We'll see how many figures we guess right as Hasbro announces them over the next year.

We have knights, skeletons and tons of good stuff to talk about today. Dakota is super excited to get more Legions and Jordan may get talked into ordering a few.
We woke up to some new Marvel Legends reveals yesterday. Lots of interesting stuff but unfortunately, it looks like a lot of old parts.
Today we're talking about the not so exclusive 1027 Hasbro event. We got a few reveals from Marvel Legends. We also heard about the final reveal for the HasLab Engine of Vengeance.

We made it to New York Comic Con for our first time. We talked to Ryan at the Marvel Legends area and saw the HasLab in person. We saw Todd McFarlane who was too busy for his best pals, the Strong Collectors. And we saw quite a few reveals from DC Multiverse. NECA and Dimond Select both had some good displays as well.

Today, only a few days after the tease of what we thought was going to be the second unlock of this Marvel Legends HasLab, we now see what is actually the new first tier of the HasLab? Madelyne Pryor, the Goblin Queen is now the first unlock at 10,000 backers. This is down from the 12,000 backers needed for Mephisto. Has this moved the needle for Hasbro and is this something fans want bad enough to pay $350 for? Time will tell.

As we all suspected, the Marvel Legends Haslab has been announced as the Robbie Reyes Ghost Rider with Hell Charger. However, we didn't know what all was going to be coming with it, but now we do. Luckily, Dakota was wrong about the tires and flames being unlocked and are part of the base offer. We also know that all future stretch goals for this Haslab will be figures. We even have an early unlock incentive of a powered down Robbie Reyes.
The big question is though, is this worth $350?

Should you invest in Marvel Legends or McFarlane action figures? Today we'll talk about our thoughts on if you should be stocking up to make a profit or if you'd only be stocking up for a loss. Which are going to be the big money makers and which are going to end up on sale.
We know, we know. There are already YouTuber reviewers that have thousands of subscribers. We want to do things differently though. We think some of the older figures that haven't had a review in months to maybe even 20 years deserve a revisit. Especially for new collectors it can be a little challenging knowing how an older figure stands up to todays current figures. We display some older figures with our newer ones but what older figures are worth the buy and which are an easy pass for us? Tune in to find out.
You can find the Strong Collectors on YouTube by search our name: Strong Collectors.
This past week Jordan was about to get in a new lot that was filled with Hasbro Marvel Legends that we rarely see posted in the groups. We thought this would be a great time to share with you some of the figures that you you may not see everyday. Some are comic con exclusive figures and others are from normal waves. A lot of the figures mentioned today are for sale so if you're interested look up Jordan in the Facebook groups.

Today we're talking Mythic Legions. The preorder for All Stars 5+ is coming to a close on Sunday Set. 4th. After that they will be available on approved retailers.

Marvel Legends Haslab is right around the corner and we know the theme is Ghost Rider and it's all but confirmed that it will be the Hell Charger. With that in mind we're going to talk about what we expect for size and unlock-able tiers. Before you start coming for me (Dakota) in the comments, I realize now that a car the size of a sentinel is too big. We'll also talk about other ideas we think would be interesting to see Marvel Legends do in the future.

We've discovered a new way to purchase our action figures, comics, and other collectables, Whatnot. It's an app like EBay but more entertaining to watch. So far, we've both purchased a couple Marvel Legends, comic books, an old monster VHS, and even won a couple giveaways. In short it's like EBay and Twitch had a baby.

We just got some new figures announced from the Hasbro Marvel Legends team and it looks like our wallets are finally safe, for now. Neither one of us were blown away today but that doesn't mean you won't be. As you can probably guess there was figures related to Spiderman as seems to be the trend this year, as well as the rest of the new Disney+ wave revealed. And although we may not be rushing to get these figures now, we won't be surprised if a few pass though our collection in the future.
Follow us on Instagram @StrongCollectors
With the flurry of announcements and preorders we thought we would check in with our preorders and see how badly our wallets will be hit the coming months. Between the both of us we have Marvel Legends, McFarlane, NECA, and Mythic Legions.
Today is a little different. Jordan is visiting family so it's a solo show with Dakota. Although lonely, Dakota wanted to make sure you knew about all the figures that were announced for Marvel Legends at San Diego Comic Con. We've got some Dakota for sure wants, some Jordan will for sure pre order and some that will passes on. Plus we get a tease as to what the next HasLab will be!
Follow us @StrongCollectors
It's been a busy week with lots of new reveals from both McFarlane with with DC Multiverse and Spawn, as well as Hasbro Marvel Legends. We've got lots to talk about and our wallets are worried with all the good stuff coming.

Mythic Legions: A Beginner's Guide. Today we talk to Jeremy Girard from 4 Horsemen Studios, the first and only director of sales and marketing. I (Dakota) have been getting more and more interested in Mythic Legions and thought, what better way to learn about the line than talking to an expert.
Jeremy gives us all the details on what Mythic Legions are, some of the back story, how to start collecting, and what to expect in the future.
You can see some of the pictures of figures I (Dakota) have gotten so far on Instagram @TheStrongCollectors
If you want to see some of Jeremy's amazing customs you can see those on his Instagram @MythicCustoms
Mythic Legions is a new line for us. We've heard about them but haven't collected them, until now. Getting into Mythic Legions is a little different than other lines so we wanted to get an expert to help us as we start collecting. In the next episode we'll be talking to Jeremy Girard (@mythiccustoms on IG). He gives us insight to what Mythic Legions are and the best ways to go about collecting the line.
Let's take a trip down memory lane with some ToyBiz figures and how we would like to see them updated. We'll talk about some of our first Marvel Legends figures, some of the side by side updates of figures that Hasbro has done, and what figures we think should be updated from how ToyBiz did them. If there's any that we forgot, let us know, we would love to hear your thoughts on this one.

If you haven't listened to Part 1 and Part 2 of the Todd McFarlane interview, we recommend you go back and listen to those before this episode. Today, we're going to talk about our thoughts during and after the interview with McFarlane. We'll talk about the things we wish we would have said and the ideas that talking with him sparked. Overall we're very thankful to Todd for taking so much time to talk to us as well as the positive response from the listeners.

Today we sit down with Todd McFarlane!
We ended up talking to Todd for about 2 hours so we split the podcast into 2 parts (see below for the break down of each episode).
Todd is one of the most well known writers and artists in comic books today. He created the record breaking Spawn, who seems to only grow in popularity, he's drawn some of the most iconic covers for both Spiderman and Batman, Co-created Venom, and pioneered the toys we have today. Todd's action figures take up a good chunk of our collection. Now it's time to get to know this legend and how he's been able to be so successful for over 3 decades.
Part 1 will be:
Todd's collecting habits
Kickstarter ideas for the future
Page Punchers
Why the ball joints?
Part 2 will be:
Year 2 Batman
New prototype reveal
Spawn movie

It's time to take a deep dive into the B/S/T or Buy, Sell, Trade world of action figures. We mainly focus on Marvel Legends here, although these rules can apply to most action figures/collectable items. We often see new group members asking about how to do a trade or someone wants to sell their collection and wants advise. Our goal with this episode is to be a guide to answer all of those questions. We also announce our upcoming special guest, Todd McFarlane! Follow us on Instagram @TheStrongCollectors
Today we were surprised at the number of reveals given to us during the Hasbro Pulse Instagram Live. We got new retros, new 3.75, new multipack and a new figure in the Infinity Ultron wave. Jordan has less on he pre order list than Dakota, probably because Dakota is easily swayed by a good looking box. We also wrap up with a similar tease at the end like the Legends team like to do. Any guesses on what's to come??
Today we're talking about the Fan First Tuesday Hasbro just had. We're talking a little bit about Thor and a lot about Spider-Man. Jordan is finally able to get a preorder in to finish his 20th anniversary wave 1 line and we have some awesome 2 packs on the. We'll talk about the new packaging changes and price increases. Overall, I think our wallets are going to take a hit on these preorders.
Today we're going to branch off from Marvel Legends to talk about some of the recent reveals from the Mcfarlane Spawn and DC Multiverse lines as well as talk about the new The Batman movie spoiler free. We've both been dabbling in what Mcfarlane is putting out, even Jordan with the new Batman movie figures if that's any hint to how he feels about the movie. Follow us on Instagram @StrongCollectors
We just got our first Hasbro Fan First reveal event so let's talk about it and break down what we think. Time to find out how many of our leaks and rumored figures, if any, were correct in our last episode. We've got a lot of great figures to discuss but which ones do we think are worth the preorder and which ones do we think we'll wait on? Each new wave that comes out seems to require Wolverine, Iron Man, or Spider-Man so which one are we getting today? Follow us on Instagram @StrongCollectors
We've heard through the grape vine that we have some pretty awesome and somewhat strange figures coming. And we don't mean Dr. Strange because we already know about the hordes of Dr. Strange that's coming. We've got lots of Spider-Man, some Black Panther, and some X-Men rumors to talk about. Remember these are just rumors and possible leaks so don't coming after us if we got bad information. It's just too fun to speculate what we might be getting to not talk about it.
In this episode Jordan and Dakota talk about the Marvel Legends that have been announced that they are most excited to get this upcoming 2022 as well as the Marvel Legends they wish Hasbro would make. Dakota can't stop himself from wanting more than Marvel Legends and like J. Jonah Jameson, Jordan can't get enough Spider-Man.
