Hey it's somewhere near our two-year anniversary of the podcast and we forgot to mention that--but have a cool new episode anyway! This time we visit Blake's Blockbuster Zone, a hot new movie podcast-within-a-podcast. Some great summer films about toys out there y'all. Warning: TOY STORY 4 TOYLERS. Also... Review of Worthy Captain America. Hasbro crowdfunded Cookie Monster and other life-size muppets. Speaking of muppets, are they a "huge turn-off"? Conan O'Brien "legally" marries his Funko Pop!s. Which toy would you marry? GLOW IN THE DARK figures! Including MOTU's Scareglow, Swamp Thing, Ghostbusters, Homer Simpson, and more! Mini Brands Chase Pez. WHAT WAS YOUR WOODY? Crash Test Dummies and Boom, My Forever Pal. Blake surprises Adam with an insane purchase of Funko's DC Primal Age Batcave and figures to boot. Or is it Savage World? Hard to say. Don't toy shop drunk. And finally, BLAKE BUYS A TOY LIVE ON AIR! ...
Surprise ahead-of-schedule episode! Adam and Blake get right down to it and dive into Amazon's shameful new holiday catalog. Then Adam tells us about his Chicago trip AKA bright lights, Big Walgreens. There he discovers the most amazing Groot/Wolverine mashup action figure, but forget it Jake, it's a Chinatown Knockoff. It's also McDonald's 40th and you know what that means: insane half-articulated Power Rangers toys. PATHETIC. The big to-do in this ep is Blake's early birthday present, Mezco's One:12 Collective Sovereign Knight Batman. Boy is this guy a trip. But what dark secret do his pants hide? Listen to find out! Also: Mondo exclusives, Marvel Legends Emma Frost, Bye-Bye to Da Grunt, and BLAKE FINALLY FINISHED HIS CUSTOM CATWOMAN! Kustomizer's Korner ahoy!
