Kenner’s Super Powers: 1986
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! iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/toy-geeks/id1518473412 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5BwtYElPnUpeCnRlMbcM05 iHeartRadio: https://iheart.com/podcast/176048439/ Android: https://subscribeonandroid.com/geekdadlife.com/category/toy-geeks/feed/ Amazon music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/e462ccb8-f4b0-47ac-9727-9293a50ed55a/toy-geeks Pandora: https://www.pandora.com/podcast/toy-geeks/PC:1001087853 RSS Feed: https://geekdadlife.com/category/toy-geeks/feed/ The post Kenner’s Super Powers: 1986 appeared first on Geek.

Kenner’s Super Powers: 1985
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. iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/toy-geeks/id1518473412 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5BwtYElPnUpeCnRlMbcM05 iHeartRadio: https://iheart.com/podcast/176048439/ Android: https://subscribeonandroid.com/geekdadlife.com/category/toy-geeks/feed/ Amazon music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/e462ccb8-f4b0-47ac-9727-9293a50ed55a/toy-geeks Pandora: https://www.pandora.com/podcast/toy-geeks/PC:1001087853 RSS Feed: https://geekdadlife.com/category/toy-geeks/feed/ The post Kenner’s Super Powers: 1985 appeared first on Geek.

Masters of the Universe: 2004
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. iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/toy-geeks/id1518473412 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5BwtYElPnUpeCnRlMbcM05 iHeartRadio: https://iheart.com/podcast/176048439/ Android: https://subscribeonandroid.com/geekdadlife.com/category/toy-geeks/feed/ Amazon music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/e462ccb8-f4b0-47ac-9727-9293a50ed55a/toy-geeks Pandora: https://www.pandora.com/podcast/toy-geeks/PC:1001087853 RSS Feed: https://geekdadlife.com/category/toy-geeks/feed/ The post Masters of the Universe: 2004 appeared first on Geek.
