Toy Geeks!: Recent Episodes
John and Jay
On Toy Geeks! John and Jay share their passion for action figure and toy collecting. Each new episode covers a different topic from the world of toys and action figures!
Join Jay (Geek. Dad. Life.) and Dan (Secret Galaxy) with special guest Toy Otter as they dive into the last year and figures made and released by Kenner for their Super Powers toy line. Wave 3 was canceled before they even hit shelves and what was already produced was still sent out. That’s why these figs were the rarest and are now very expensive. Toy Otter has spent DECADES learning about the toy line and shares rare behind the scenes photos and insights into figures that should have been included in wave 3 as well as the toys that would have been in the unreleased wave 4. So many great insights in this ep, if you love toys you do not want to miss this one!

The post Kenner’s Super Powers: 1986 appeared first on Geek. Dad. Life..
Join Jay (Geek. Dad. Life.) and Dan (Secret Galaxy) with special guest Andrew (Gayties Toys) as they dive into the second year of Kenner’s Super Powers toy line. Year one gave SO MANY top tier DC characters, Kenner went into the opposite direction in year two featuring C and D tier heroes paired with Jack Kirby’s New Gods bad guys. It’s an interesting choice and we debate if it worked or not.

Join Jay (Geek. Dad. Life.) and Dan (Secret Galaxy) along with special guest Griffin Newman (Blank Check Podcast, George Lucas Talk Show) as they dive into the last year of the MYP Masters of the Universe Toyline! The Snakemen story line may have gotten more time for the property, but it wasn’t enough to keep it going on retail shelves beyond 2004 for Mattel. The Four Horsemen and NECA kept things going with their stactions, and while they looked AMAZING, we’re left wondering of all that could have been with a the 4H getting to complete their full 200X MOTU vision.

Join Jay (Geek. Dad. Life) and Dan (Secret Galaxy) with special guest James Eatock (Cereal Geek) as they dice in to the 1990 releases in the Real Ghostbusters toy line from Kenner! This year saw a big step back as TMNT dominated, with lots of re-use of older toy molds and Ghostbusters II tie ins that were a year too late. That didn’t stop 1990 from giving us some great toys though. Enjoy this deep dive into the animated series and the toys that kicked off a new decade!

Join Jay (Geek. Dad. Life.) and Dan (Secret Galaxy) along with special guest Alex Brewer (Mondo, Gotham City Tonight) as they dive into the 1988 Real Ghostbusters toys from Kenner. This was a great 2nd year of toys with iconic vehicles, playsets, action figures and of course role play toys that helped make Kenner’s Real Ghostbusters toy line the most popular in the boy aisle in the late 80s.

Join Jay (Geek. Dad. Life.) and Dan (Secret Galaxy) along with special guest Jake Stevens (From 4-LOM to Zuckuss) as they breakdown the LAST 2 years of Power of the Force figures. The overabundance of previously released POFT2 and The Phantom Menace figures meant that the last few figures in Power of the Force 2 were hard to find. This also matched with the shuttering of Kenner as a separate brand under Hasbro. It’s a shame too, because 1999 and 2000 gave us some of the BEST Star Wars Power of the Force 2 figures…

Join Jay (Geek. Dad. Life.) and Dan (Secret Galaxy) with special guest Griffin Newman (Blank Check w/ Griffin & David, George Lucas Talk Show) as they dive into part 2 of 1998’s Star Wars Power of the Force 2 toys from Kenner (Hasbro)! 1998 was a year before the prequels but that didn’t stop Lucasfilm from using POTF2 to get Star Wars fans hyped for the first new Star Wars movie since the 80’s. Preview and flashback figures gave us glimpses into Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, and also gave us figures from the expanded universe. We’ll cover these and more on this extra long episode!

Join Jay (Geek. Dad. Life.) and Dan (Secret Galaxy) along with special guest Chris from The Full Force Podcast as they dive into the first year of Hasbro’s G.I. Joe A Real American Hero toyline! The figures may have been a little boring (outside of Snake Eyes, Cobra Troopers and Scarlette of course) but the articulation was revolutionary and the vehicles were great. They were so good that this year of toys kicked off one of the most successful toyline of the next Decade.

Join Jay (Geek. Dad. Life.) and Dan (Secret Galaxy) as they kick off a new mini series on McFarlane’s LOST action figures.

In this episode Jay shares his own personal experience with the TV Show as he started a podcast dedicated to discussing LOST back on 2005. With the 20th Anniversary of the premier of the show approaching, what better time to talk about the show and McFarlane’s figures for the show on Toy Geeks!

Join Jay (Geek. Dad. Life.) and Dan (Secret Galaxy) along with Ralph (Getting Lost Documentary) as they talk about the M.A.S.K. cartoon that was produced by D.I.C. in 1985-1986.

Join Jay (Geek. Dad. Life.) and Dan (Secret Galaxy) with special guest Ken (Toy Kennections) as they dive into the second year of M.A.S.K. toys. 1985 was such a great first year there was a thought that 1986 would have seen a huge drop off, but in retrospect that wasn’t the case. Listen as we all re-discover why the second year of M.A.S.K. was almost as good as the first year.
