So the less celebrated decade of the vintage Real America Hero toyline gets some love in this episode as we look at 12 (or so...) card artworks, comparing them side by side and voting for an overall favourite pick. We took to Twitter and Facebook to gather listener favourites, put ALL of them into a box and drew them. We even recorded it and popped it onto YouTube here!
Cowabunga dudes!

It Christmas time again! Rob, Paul and Steve chat about the issue that plagues all collectors around this time of year - making space for new toys! Steve calls it "downsizing"... Paul prefers to just call it "collecting goals". Whatever you call it, it's time we had "the talk"! We also weigh in on the Snake Eyes film, and cap things off with some festive fun!
HO HO HO Everybody, Merry Christmas!

It was the podcast that almost never happened... three times (at least). Maybe we should have taken the hint... But we defied fate and the powers that be to bring you a discussion of the greatest controversy classic GI Joe: ARAH ever produced: Cobra La (lalalalalalalalalala!).
We talk the three-pack, weird historical coincidences, and our VERY varied reception of this animation milestone. Plus a little much needed reflection and thanks-giving for the epic year that was 2018.
Yo Joburg everybody!

What, the episode title wasn't enough? We chat to the one and only Rap Viper in this episode about his new album, Rhyme Your Business. Of course the usual toy nostalgia trip ensues as we get down to what makes the premier GI Joe lyricist tick.

In this podcast we feature:
Input Blitz feat. Mega Ran (prod. by MisterE, cuts by DJ Irate);
Wrong Ralph Pulaski [Cobrapocalypse Pt. 1] (prod. by Timbuktu, cuts by DJ Irate);
and of course,
Rap-Viper - Wordburglar (prod. by MisterE)

So our buddy and customizer extraordinaire Jim Godfrey had a chance meet up with Bob Brechin of Palitoy fame. Bob was there in the heydays of Action Man, and was the man chiefly responsible for the initial 1/18 scale Action Force figures. Naturally a full-blown, Full-Force discussion of those awesome oddities from the Island Nation follows as we get into some of Jim's most beloved British action figures and vehicles!
