Our Toy Addictions

This week we have a couple of new shout outs as the guys talk about a trip Ron and Aaron took to Milwaukee.  Of course there are some toy shenanigans along the way.

This week each review our favorite brands from San Diego Comic Con.

Ron and Aaron finish up a game of baseball while discussing some of the latest new toy announcements and Valaverse's price drops.  We take a little deeper look into some of the new items introduced by Valaverse at this year's JoeFest.

During our hiatus, Matt and Ron were each able to stop at some Toy Shops out of state.

We also review the new G.I. Joe Classified figures that were revealed and went on Pre-Order during Yo Joe June.

This episode we talk about Ron and Aaron's visit to the Chi-Con Toy Show hosted by our good friends at Midwest Collectibles.  Another killer show, and we got to meet up with Mike from Mr. Wayne's Collectibles.

Chris from Midwest collectibles drew up a sweet custom Hulk picture for Ron, but you;l have to see that on the YouTube channel!

This week we discuss our semi annual visit to the Chicago Toy Show and Aaron's trip down another toy line rabbit hole.  There's also mention of a 60' USS Flagg.

The boys talk about how they prefer to store any toys that are not currently on display.  They also discuss how much is too much, or too little, to display and how they prefer to display their toys.  We also do a quick look at a 60' custom USS Flagg that has been showing up on our toy feeds in some social media.

This week we do a recap of Aaron's finding's at the Spring Chicago Toy Show in Kane County and how it led to the purchase of a figure from a toy company none of us have bought from yet.  We also talk a little bit about what would make us try a new toy company for our collections.

In this episode we discuss whether, Hasbro or Mattel currently has a better method of revealing and putting their items up for (pre) orders.

This week Aaron talks about he recent vacation to Disney World, and how the trip got him into collecting a new property.  And of course what he thinks of the figures.

This week talk about some of the things that might actually make us stop collecting toys.  In theory, of course.

This episode we talk about how different types media like comics, movies or television may, or may not effect the popularity of a toy line, and vice versa.

Today we review the first two days of reveals from arguably the best toy line on the market right now, Valaverse's Action Force.

Coming to you from the First Annual Romeo-Con, we have a slew of guests join us this week including Richie Sandoval Jr., event host and owner of Midwest Collectibles, and Emmy Award winning animator Doug Rice who worked on The Animaniacs during their initial run in the 90's. 

This week we talk about the reality of FOMO when it comes to collecting.  We do also talk about the latest reveals from Hasbro's Indiana Jones team. They were not good. (But Retroblasting's take on it was hilarious!)

In our first mega-sized episode of Season 02 we review our favorite toys that we picked up in 2022.  A top five from each of us and some honorable mentions means there's a lot to go over.

After a pretty big show and tell we talk about some exciting Batman '66 news, Valaverse's "December Surprises" and the next wave of MOTU Origins. Then, we touch just a little bit on the big, big shakeup of the DCU before finally discussing the lack of action figures that have "action features".

Minus Aaron and his hard partying lifestyle, Matt and Ron discuss some of the recent issues that have come to light with Dorkside Toys.  Show and tell is back as usual and some new toys lines are talked about that we're excited about.

We start out this week wishing for our favorite clown to get his own figure before moving on to our weekly show and tell.  Then we get into some of the latest reveals that have us excited.
