This week in the show, a complete and in-depth look at all the announcements from Toy Fair 2020: Real Ghostbusters, Plasma Series Figures, Slime, and more! First up, lots and lots of details on the Hasbro presentation, which stole the show on Saturday with 6” figures for collectors, 3 and 3/4” figures for kids, and Plasma Series replica props from Ghostbusters Afterlife for all of us who want to take the movie home with us. Plus Playmobil has play boxes, a company is calling dibs on video pinball machines, and Funko didn’t want to reveal much to avoid spoiling the new movie. Guard your credit cards (or increase their limit, whatever suits you) because here we go!
#607 - "Toy Fair '20 Pt. 1 and Imperfections of Ghostbusters" - February 24, 2020
This week on the show, New York International Toy Fair had lots of surprises and we’ve got an excerpt from Hasbro’s presentation, and in the second half of the show: the imperfections of Ghostbusters! First up, a few news items including some fine art prints for sale and a little audio from Hasbro’s presentation which revealed the return of the Kenner Real Ghostbusters and Plasma Series figures and prop replicas like Spengler’s Neutrona Wand and more (next week, we’ll have the full rundown of it all). Plus Ivan and Jason Reitman appeared to talk a little about Ghostbusters Afterlife! Then in the second half of the show, we all look at Ghostbusters as a perfect film, but what are some of those blemishes or imperfections that we either choose to overlook or see every time we view? Rubber boulders, foam packs, and much more to be discussed. Stay tuned!
#507 - "Ectotron" - February 18, 2019
Hide your wallets, it’s International Toy Fair time! This week on the show, the latest Ghostbusters (2020) news, and the late-breaking announcements we were able to talk about from Toy Fair in time for recording! First up, some discussion about an unconfirmed “exclusive” scoop about Ghostbusters (2020)’s production start date. Is there merit to it? Is there room for doubt? In fact, are we taking too many things at face value at the moment? The boys have an in-depth conversation (that’s awfully similar to one had three years ago at this point in the production timeline). The Ghostbusters social media account caused quite a stir, Troy and Chris will tell you why. And then some talk about the show-stopping reveal that’s more than meets the eye - an Ecto-1/Transformer has become reality.
