Welcome long time listener Steve Ready to the show! We'll introduce him properly next week because damn - there is some news to get too! It's the crossover the late great Darren would have absolutely gone all in on: TMNT x MOTU. Meanwhile, Todd does Todd things but has he landed on a real mono-chromatic winner here? Mad Max meets Shao Kahn in a new reveal before we dive into Filoni's latest (and possibly greatest) Star Wars entry: Ashoka. Then a fitting farewell from our good mate Scotty The Toy Hunta as he embarks on a new life journey!

This episode is full of bombs. Both the explody-Universal Studios type ones, and the box office flops that nobody likes to talk about. Yes, it's time to talk about Waterworld. Kevin Costner at his problematic best in the middle of the ocean: what could possibly go wrong. But at least the toys were cool? Trent for the affirmative. Then it's our Patreon Hot Takes Part Deux and boy do things get a little spicy. There's fence sitting, high horses and some very silly silliness. BOOM!

#336: A Legion of News with John Caulfield

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we have some Hot Take Statements that where submitted by our awesome Patreons.  We go through some of them and go around the room unpacking the statement, whether we agree, or disagree to it.  The power of nostalgia comes into question.  Of course some of the biggest franchises come under fire; such as Batman, Star Wars & TMNT.  The ease of custom 3D printing vs mass production?  What about movies with a connected universe versus the good old standalone film?  All this and more, as we only scratch the surface of this now on-going sub-topic.  Then we each turn around, and review how each of us are tackling our own personal collections, with a bit of a State Of The Nation focus.  In rounding out we actually swing back to the Hot Take topic, for an unplanned discussion.  Enjoy!
