Taylor has his LadyBugHead Man, Jeff has his SilverInsectoidRobot Guy. This week, the guys talk about the latter. Death Star Droid is a figure that gives them fits as they discuss the relative merits of the anti-3P0. Which side do … Continue reading →

Over 3 years in, and Taylor and Jeff STILL can’t open a show properly. Luckily, the rest of the show is MUCH smoother. This time out, the guys introduce a new sub-series dedicated to toy lines from properties that didn’t … Continue reading →

Jitsu. Sounds like a hip sushi restaurant, doesn’t it? No? Well, fine, it’s still a strange name for an equally strange figure. Of course, being from Masters of the Universe, you wouldn’t expect anything less. Does he pass muster for … Continue reading →

Raiders of the Lost Ark was a HUGE movie in 1981. #1 box office, Best Picture nominee at the Academy Awards, and it remains beloved to this day. Kenner was signed on to make toys. Should have been a repeat … Continue reading →

Well c’mon Red, let’s go! Little did we know that “red” couldn’t “go” because he just couldn’t get motivated. Having a bad motivator is a problem that many of us have, but not Taylor & Jeff. They need no motivation … Continue reading →

We have the greatest listeners on the planet, as evidenced by this episode. Taylor & Jeff received a care package from our listener (and friend) Gary, and we decided to unbox it live via Periscope! For those of you who … Continue reading →

Jeff loves a good pun. Taylor loves a good pun even more than Jeff. So, as you may expect, they both had a good time this week discussing a PUNderful action figure: Clawful, from Mattel’s Masters of the Universe line. … Continue reading →

Once again, we’re knee-deep in the 1980s. It was a time when a raunchy R-rated comedy could rebrand itself into a family-friendly film franchise, which would then spawn a cartoon, which would then, of course, spawn a toy line. 1984’s … Continue reading →

It’s one of the greatest “gambled and lost” stories in the history of the toy biz. Kenner make a guess about what Snaggletooth looked like below the neck, and got it wrong. But then, they got it right, and that’s … Continue reading →
