Other toys discussed: NECA TMNT and predator. Mondo/Mondoids/Fallout/Iron Giant. McFarlane DC Multiverse (specifically Batman). Marvel Legends. MEGO (Nosferatu and other horror). Thanks to Tom G. Wolf and also thanks More Of That (and Bayley) for our theme music. Special thanks to Netflix and The Toys That Made Us, Nacelle, and Brian Volk-Weiss.
