Do you really want to know who was responsible for the second wave of Darkwing Duck having never been released? It was me ...sorry, my bad. Please don't throw me off a bridge.

I think Mork's buddy's name was Exor? ...or something like that. There's a very funny current sit-com called Ghosts on CBS/Paramount+. It's really good.

This conversation made your boy uncomfortable. Look at how they draw his head, nose & lips. And they regularly change the "skin" color of black inspired characters like Piccalo in DBZ

You guys need to watch a few episodes before hating on tiger sharks, I've seen worse,also in 2025 super 7 are bringing you tiger sharks 😁💯🔥

There was an urban legend that the silverhawk toys would melt if you left them out in the sun. Due to the vac metal plastic. So one summer day way back in the late 80's , me and my cousins left a silverhawk out in the hot Texas sun for an entire day to test the theory Results- it didn't melt, but the plastic did become extremely brittle and the toy basically fell apart at the articulation points within a week.

I have the opposite the habit. I'm an impulse hesitater. So many times I put off buying something and when i finally decide to pull the trigger on it . BOOM out of stock.

I remember when you ate those like it was your job

I have a Decompose story. In 1990, we went to the big flea market in PA. I had a little money ...actually I had a lot of money for a 14 year old in 1990. I don't remember how or why I had this money. I am positive I did not earn it in any way. I had two objectives. I wanted to find a Shogun Warrior, and I wanted Metlar. I found them both, and I bought them both for less than 25 bucks. I also ended up finding Tendryl at another booth for about 8 dollars. I never saw a Decompose, or else I would have gotten him too. The first time I actually found a Decompose figure for sale was in 2004, and it was $89.00. I thought "Oh no!! Other people have figured out that Inhumanoids are awesome." What treachery has allowed this?

Hostess Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Pies hold a very special place in my heart. The last couple of years I lived in Mastic Beach, I mostly hung around with my friends John and Jim. Late at night when there was nothing much to do, we would walk to 7-11 and grab up all the Turtle Pies and go sit on the lifeguard chair at Shirley Beach, and devour them. Strait from the sewer to my nostalgic feelings of whimsy. Speaking of which, I feel like Dana undersold the significance of "Cool". I was at that age where it was more than one of my toys. I brought Cool everywhere we went. I didn't carry him around in stores and stuff, but Cool was in the car with us. Cool went on vacation with us, and was in bed with me when I slept. When I was even younger than that, I had a monkey hat from the Bronx Zoo, which was a similar relationship. I had a thing about monkeys I guess. People say I monkey around.

The Blank. Quickest answer I have ever had about anything.

Derek! So glad you commented. I totally forgot you had that Freddy. Nice! Thanks for the background details on that toy. Well done.

I was going to mention the Secret Wars shields as something that was stupid. I'm glad you filled in that blank for me

I think my favorite accessory has to be the Movie Maniacs Tall Man who came with his little evil minion. I know last week I was complaining about Movie Maniacs falling apart, but they're still awesome looking toys. I love the Pulp Fiction Marcellus Wallace figure who came with the box of donuts with the two coffee cups on top. Similarly I love that the Neca My Bloody Valentine guy came with the heart shaped chocolate box. Those are both fun little details. The greatest accessory injustice happened with the Secret Wars line. Every figure came with a shield, and so they decided not to give us a proper Captain America shield. Everyone came with their stuff in addition to the shield. Wolverine had his claws, and Daredevil has his little stick, but Cappy just had the same generic shield that everyone else had. I'm still angry about it. I would also like to throw some stink-eye to whomever was responsible for our very first Colossus figure coming with a giant dumbbell. Why? For the love of God why? Finally, I don't like blast effects. I know everyone else does, so I'm not complaining about them existing. Sometimes I just throw them away. I have zero interest. PS: One lonely Beastie I be. All by myself without nobody. The sun us beatin' down on my baseball hat. The air is gettin' dry, my beer's gettin' flat.

I still have that Freddy Krueger figure. I just put the Freddy gear on and never took it off because I just wanted a Freddy Krueger figure. Years later I found out that that was the whole idea. Turns out the whole "Make up Artist" thing was just a way for the toy company to sneak an R rated character under the radar and onto retail shelves. Unfortunately , it did not work. Parents grumbled, retailers caved, and it was quickly pulled from the stores. It is now a sought after collectors item and it would be about 10 more years before we could have toys based on Demonic serial killers.

The rattlesnake character from Rango was based on Lee Van Cleef. Ohh those Movie Maniacs. I'm on my second Jason, but so far he's doing fine. I have Pumpkin Head, but his arm has been glued on for 20+ years. I have Snake Plisskin, and his jacket is the only thing keeping his arm attached. I had a Candyman, but my dog ate him. I used to have Shaft, but various limbs fell off. I used to have Michael Myers but his head fell off, and I lost it. I have Darkman and Freddy, and they are both fine, except that I bought Darkman loose and he didn't have his hat. I have The Tall Man, which I freakin' love. Out of fear, I never opened him. If I did, I'm sure something would go wrong. Same with Robocop, he's perfect, and I'm afraid to open him up. I should have kept all of them carded.

A Pup Named Scooby Doo was a fantastic cartoon. I needed to say that. Also props to Dana for name dropping Turbo, Ozone, and Kelly. Then referencing Brooklyn's In The House by Cut Master D.C. Now I wanna talk about The Flintstones Movie. The set design, the costumes, and the cast were absolutely perfect. Then they wrote the screenplay. What on earth did they do? It's a travesty. They wasted all of that great work. I haven't thought about Reboot in a long time. I think the little guy who came with 90s Ultraman was named Jack Shinto.

At the end of the day, all GI-JOE characters are infantry. One dude's wearing a wetsuit, one dude's wearing a snow suit, there's a pilot, and an astronaut, and another dude is Fridge Perry. You give them a rifle, and send them to the front line. I appreciated the Scuba Steve reference. Nice pull.

Dear Two Guys Talkin' Toys, I was sitting here watching the show. I turn my head, and there on the wall is a spider the size of a toddler's hand. It's about a foot and a half away from my face. I don't know how, but I know you did that. For future reference, I do not require my entertainment to be that immersive. Your's Truly, Mr.Daledark P.S. There were giant chrome bug monsters in the climactic 3rd act of the original Power Rangers movie. Those were cool. I do not believe they made toys, but they were cool.

👍👍👍

Dana's shirts represent the perfect first date. BBQ at the Boar's Nest, followed by a night cap at the Regal Beagle. I realize one is in Georgia, and the other is in San Diego. Maybe you have a private jet, don't over think it. David Cronenberg's Turbo Teen movie sounds perfect.

We skipped over the Rancor. Straight to the Wampa! That purple guy was the worst.

I love that you mentioned Big frank. I have a Big Frank who lives on my night stand, and that's where he has lived for the last 30 years. I cannot believe you didn't mention the Rancor. That was an awesome toy we never had. When I was a kid, I loved all of those monster characters from the Blackstar line. There was a fish dude, and a cat dude, and a demon dude, and a crappy looking purple guy who's legs were way too small.

I agree with Dana about Ironman figures. I don't, nor have I ever owned an Ironman figure because they have not yet created the Ironman figure I want. I will buy the 3.75 inch Marvel legends Ironman, because I love that line, and that is probably the best Ironman figure ever made. Still i would love to see the full size Marvel Legends line get it right. If they do it, they can have my money.

I can't imagine getting to a point where I would stop buying toys. I have never NOT bought toys. Some years I bought a lot of toys, and some years I only bought a few. But on any given day, in any given year, I might see a toy and buy it. I will never like sushi. I will never wear flip-flops. And I will never stop wanting toys. Amen.

How the hell did I forget FAMPS what source did u use?!!?

He actually showed up in the Arrow TV series. Accurate costume too!

Wild dog does need a figure! Nicely done

What about The Watchmen? We got movie figures, but to my knowledge, we never got comic book based Watchmen figures. That seems crazy to me. One of my favorite toy related memories was going into Modell's and seeing the Super Powers line for the first time, with Superman right out in front. A DC character who never got an action figure? ....WILD DOG!!! Does anyone remember DC's answer to the Punisher. His name was WILD DOG!!!

I love that Dana dropped Corporal Kirshner into this. Last month I was at my local tiny comic-con, and there was a vendor there selling the old LJN rubber WWF figures. I was looking at them for a while, and in that time several different middle aged dudes wandered over and talked to me about 80s WWF. None of them remembered Corporal Kirshner. Not one of them! I was a fan, and I had that figure. I was sad that nobody remembered him. Thanks Dana. Rambo is interesting in this context. The character was invented in a book, as a criticism of US policy, and the treatment of returning GIs. Then he was repackaged into a cartoon as a patriotic force of freedom. It's kind of like the song "Born in the USA" , which was certainly not received the way it was intended.

I am Ergo The Magnificent, short in stature, tall in power, narrow of purpose, and wide of vision.

I mean lint brush. There was a shoehorn with an old car as well

I do not remember that store at all, although I do remember the shoehorn.hmm How did Barnyard commandos slip my mind? I think I bunch them with the Cowboys of Moo Mesa...? I do remember the hamburger army man death cook out. Likely toxic but we turned out ok....at least I did, anyway and that is what counts.

Let's get into the way back machine for a minute. There used to be this little store in what was once a house, somewhere between Shirley and Center Moriches. It's where I used to buy WWF trading cards. I also remember one Christmas, buying my uncle a lint brush that was attached to a wooden Model-T. It was a neat little store. The point of this is that they had a Rambo figure, before the official Rambo figures came out. It must have been an import of some kind, and every time I have mentioned it, nobody else had ever seen it. I have never seen another one anywhere else. Did I dream that? All I remember is that I couldn't afford it, and I bought some more WWF trading cards. I had all of those at one point, and I have no idea what happened to them. Also, in the time of the Food Fighters, and Army Ants, there was also Barnyard Commandos. The full sized articulated Army Men figures in the 90s were based on a Playstation game called Army Men. It was like Medal of Honor, but for kids. The one line I would love to see would be the classic CORPS characters recreated in a GI-JOE:Classified style. Many of those CORPS characters are just as iconic to me as the classic Joe characters. Somebody should secure that license and take The CORPS into the modern age. I have to admit that I was actually more into the little plastic Cowboys and Indians, but I definitely played with Army men too. Dana forgot to mention the time my dad was grilling burgers on the patio, and we threw a few Army men into the hot coals to watch them melt. Dad was not happy with us.

I am 100% with Tom on the opinion that Folger's coffee is terrible, and the SNL bit where Chris Farley freaks out over the Folger's Crystals, is a masterpiece.

That would be a cool display piece

I think there should be a LEGO set for the chrome ball thingy from Phantasm. You put it together and it's about the size of a grapefruit. Somehow the blades and drill bit would be retractable, and it would perch on a nifty little stand. I would be happy to buy, assemble, and display that.

The Thundercats cartoon was produced by Rankin/Bass, who were most famous for creating Rocky and Bullwinkle, Underdog, and the Rudolph stop motion Christmas specials. They also produced the animated Hobbit movie. The cool thing about that is you can watch The Hobbit, then immediately throw on some Thundercats, and you'll recognize some of the voice actors as well as the sound effects. It's really cool to think of Middle Earth and Third Earth existing in the same universe. If I'm remembering correctly, the Cobra ATV was called The Ferret.

I would like to see a Shaw Brothers All Stars line. Just mine all of those classic Shaw Brothers Kung-Fu flicks for the best characters, and make cool figures. I would also love to see Sonny Chiba get an action figure. Maybe you make Street Fighter, and Sister Street Fighter. Maybe you create a line that just focuses on the actors. So you get Sonny, and Jackie Chan, and Gordon Liu, and Bolo, and Sammo Hung. You could have the Five Deadly Venoms. This is an untapped resource. I would also like to see Super7 or Necca tackle the Chuck Norris and Karate Commandos.

I love those figures! They are so well done for a buck fitty

I grew up with late wcw and attitude era and enjoyed it. Its very interesting to me the way wrestling fans mostly can only handle the era they grew up with.

The Master was Lee Van Cleef. ...Also, I met Chuck Norris once. Ninja toys and Kung-Fu movies are two of my favorite things. I wanted every ninja figure when I was a kid. I read Ninja Magazine. Do you remember those cool Enter the Dragon figures that came out in the early 2000s? Sadly I didn't get those, but a friend of mine had them, and they were awesome. I'm glad you're doing a part two. We have entered the ninja ...now we must revenge of the ninja.

In the 1980s, HBO stood for "Hey, Beastmaster's On!!!"

When I was a little kid there was a General Lee, which came with GI-JOE style Bow and Luke Duke figures. There was a trap door on the roof of the car where you could open it, and put them in their seats. I also remember getting the Buck Rogers ship at a yard sale, and that was pretty cool. Then later, I got the Knight 2000 voice car for Christmas, and that was a banner year. I had also gotten that REMCO wolf guy, so Michael Knight would drive around the living room floor for a while, and then have a fist fight with the anthropomorphic wolf dude on the couch. GI-JOE had too many to name, but the HISS tank was the first one I got, so it holds a special place for me. I can't remember the name of my favorite He-Man vehicle, but it was a tank like thing, and then the detachable front piece was the little air skiff/bike thing they always used in the cartoon. My favorite Ninja Turtle vehicle was Shredder's purple Cadillac convertible, which I used for Big Boy Caprice. In Star Wars it was always the Twin-Pod Cloud Car, which is the only thing on this list I have in my current collection. My favorite thing I never had was the Shuttle Tydirium from the Return of the Jedi line, and the Speed Racer MACH-5 that came out in the late 90s. Also among the best was those Mad Max style Tonka trucks that Dana has. They were the most perfect Dreadnok vehicles, but old school Tonka tuff. I could name a few thousand more super peachy vehicles, but I'll leave it there. I do want to mention that Dana got me Dick Tracy's police car for Christmas, and I had a blast putting it together and applying the stickers. As an adult collector, I have very few vehicles, and it's been probably 30+ years since I assembled a new one. I enjoyed every minute, and it looks awesome on my Dick Tracy shelf.

This was so fun, y'all. I almost died at the Toro bit.

That was a lot of fun. Thanks for having us on.

Tom mentioned Shane's. That makes me happy.

Dollar tree done a line of figures called final faction that are actually pretty sweet. They sort of went all in with it with a comic book and a couple episodes of an animated series here on youtube. The figures were cool to be from dollar tree that usually had nothing memorable. Humans and a dog named Churro versus Aliens called the Kharn.

Bro, a Pokémon VS Digimon cross over would be absolutely positively legit. Or Magic the Gathering VS Yu-Gi-Oh. NECA did an epic line for Resident Evil 4 with some really cool figures and accessories. The one I had was a Los illuminados monk with sickle character, enemies in game that if you shot his head off another creature came out of his neck socket you had to defeat it too or it would actually bite Leon the playable characters head off. The toy actually came with a removable head and the attachment of the neck socket plaga creature so you could swap the heads. Probably spent less than fifty on it back when the game was new, now you gotta mortgage out your house to get back into collecting them. And thats just the NECA figures. Hot toys did some stuff for Resident Evil 4 aswell that's even more expensive.

I was about to lose my mind if you two were about to start poo-pooing the Rocky and Bullwinkle movie. I own it. I have watched it many many times. I love it. That's all I have to say about that. I'm all in on your famous dogs line of action figures, but you have to include C.H.O.M.P.S., and a Falcor build-a-figure. ....dude, seriously, why has nobody thought to do a Never Ending Story line?

Great episode. Glad yall are back. The McFarlane Mortal Kombat toys are so much better designed than the vintage Hasbros IMO. I figured Pokemon would come up, guess that's past you guys time maybe? PS Tom did you like Spiderman Unlimited, it has Spiderman in a dystopian steampunk world fighting anthropomorphic creatures plus his usual villains.
