This week on the Toy Power Podcast we swap out Ben and Frank for Brett and Chris, and oh boy there is a lot of stuff to chat about. Firstly we say our goodbyes to a legend of the stage and screen, Sir Patrick Stewart. Its then on to news, where we cover a Mattel creations tease of Powers of Grayskull Eldor, Thundercats Ultimate's wave 14, and a Hot Toys Sentinel that Brett and Scott may just have to divide up like the first edition of Radioactive Man comic book! Want a date in Dune Part 3? We have your popcorn bucket sorted. Then is on to not one but two movies reviews as we cover the bombastic fun of Street Fighter. And then its time for some body horror as we discuss the latest instalment in the James Gunn DC Universe: Clayface. And oh boy, the movie had some of the more squeamish of the group watching through their fingers. And you will find out the question to that perennial question: How you you open your mud-encrusted eyelids on a plane enduring turbulence? Its then onto reading watching playing as we cover some Halloween and non Halloween goodies. Happy Halloween all and try not to eat to much candy!

This Week on the Toy Power Podcast; we have a few scheduling conflicts, so it's just Ben & Scot in the studio; with the always entertaining Mr. Davey Damaged joining us as well!!  Kicking things into gear, we discuss the latest News that is hitting our radar.  With a heart-felt tribute to some of the recent passings; we reflect on what some of these larger than life people have done; & how each of them will be missed.  Then we chat towards the very lack-luster reveal of King Hiss from the MOTU Chronicles line.  Peacemaker from Mezco 1:12 is arguably the definitive Toy version of this character we will likely ever get!  McFarlane wrap things up with their Wave 16 of DC Super Powers - with an interesting line-up of Characters.  But with this being the finale; who are we missing from this overall toy line-up?  PlayStation One are getting the Lego treatment; which honestly looks great; but what is with their Easter Egg game choices?!  Then we pivot into a general chat towards Latest Scores & then followed up with Reading / Playing / Watching.  An overall fun episode - if not for Ben continually tripping over his sentences!  

Davey plugged the New Australiana Book by: Fridalasvegas -Australianarama - A Campendium Of Kitsch - an awesome history of what makes Australia so unique!!
