Christmas Display Case 2022 Edition

Hellooo Mets! This is Jesse from Rock Sugar and

you're listening to the GeekCats Radio Network.

Keep it right here. Welcome to another all new

edition of Toycast. This is episode 165. I am

TF2 and Mike. It is about a week before Christmas

2022. And I have along with me for this ride,

I have Mr. Joshua. That's right, the floor burger

is here. Ho, ho, ho. Merry. Week before Christmas.

I still haven't done my shopping yet. Yeah Hey,

I don't well outside of my dad and my stepmom.

I don't have to do any shopping anymore. She's

dead sadly So that Dark, let's talk about toys.

Yes, yes. Before we do that, we have to make

sure we have the glass shatter, so there's that.

Don't touch! Alright, what do you got, sir? You

got some weird robo paint. I don't know, I'm

not gonna lie, I'm kind of crying a little bit

on my side, but alright. Hey, if I don't make

a joke about it, it's not funny, obviously, but

it's been a year since. Karen passed and it's

like fuck so but in for the you know For the

show got to sacrifice the emotions Well, I will

do my best to make you happy given that you're

talking to me Am I going first or is Batman going

first? Yeah, you're going first. All right, I'll

go first so I decided to pick, in honor of the

holidays, something that is very, very close

to the colors of said holidays. Not at all. Hence

the funny haha. So I picked a GI Joe from one

of the last years GI Joe was alive. I think some

people might even make the argument that this

was one of the series or the side series that

may have killed the entire line because the year

after this 1994 is just filled with neon goodness

and the whole line died. So 93 is probably the

last full year of GI Joe that came out with a

ton of just obnoxious neon. And there's a saying

that once your franchise goes into space your

franchise is dead. And that can hold true for

some situations. But just to be clear, here's

what was happening in GI Joe in 1993. Just the

figures, we're not even getting into the vehicles.

So there are... Figures that have clashing colors

of some sort if I were to just count off my head

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 probably 11 12 13 14 15

16 17 where I'm already into the 20s and there's

over 30 neon figures oh very much so and GI Joe

had strayed so far away from what people had

appreciated 10 years prior, which if you think

about it, the bulk of the hardcore G .I. Joe

fans existed in 82, 83, 84, 85, and a lot started

petering off, and naturally so, in 87, when it

became a little bit more sci -fi, a little bit

more fantasy, you got the mutants, you got sorcery

or whatever some of these guys were. And then

when you get into the 90s, my era, you get everything

from some of the most insane recolors in neon

plastic of all sorts you get Street Fighter you

get Mortal Kombat you get you name it it was

happening and one of my prized possessions as

a kid in 1993 was the Star Brigade Robo Joe a

very little known bright neon orange and a matte

black robotic cyborg armored GI Joe. You can

have it in any color as long as it's matte black

everything. Well, that's what they went with.

And so the character itself actually has a very

interesting bio and I have terrible lighting

in my room right now, so I'm going to do my best

to just sort of paraphrase it. But the story

behind a robo Joe is very similar to if you took

the six million dollar man, Robocop and Terminator.

and you put him in a bright orange neon body.

So he was a scientific engineering genius. He

was working on his laboratory one night on top

secret plans for robotic battle armor suits needed

to fight Cobra in space. Suddenly the lab was

raided by Destro who managed to capture some

of the plans and fatally wound the young inventor,

leaving him a shattered shell of a man. GI Joe

scientists use the remaining plans to rebuild

his broken body and Robo Joe was born with a

permanently integrated bio armor spacesuit linked

with silicon wires computer chips and muscle

tissue and they put an exclamation point on that

part now this powerful tissue the tissue now

this powerful half man half robot fights alongside

his Star Brigade teammates seeking justice in

revenge on Destro he doesn't design robotic battle

armor anymore He is capital is it. And so if

you ever see the figure and we'll link to it

in the notes and all that good stuff again, the

bright neon orange and he's got a head that is

the actual produced figure that I own. I don't

think there's any variations and yojo .com does

not indicate any variations on the packaging.

He has a pretty bland silver head. uh cyborg

pieces very like 60s or 70s cyborg pieces very

boring robot pieces but the head on the figure

if you take a closer look at the actual figure

is actually in gold not silver as compared to

the packaging yeah and is a little less bland

and a little bit more i would say terminator

And he also had gold plastic weapons from a shotgun,

which is gonna work really well in space. Some

sort of rifle, a submachine gun, and a machete,

because when you are in space, you have to cut

those vines down. So he actually has a golden

machete and a missile launcher that attaches

to his shoulder. Just quite neat and if I remember

correctly the missile launchers for this line

were not as strong as maybe the 89 90 and 91

missile launchers Okay, a gold stand and then

I have to admit his black helmet If you if you're

looking at it his black helmet is actually pretty

cool. It's got sort of a Dark Hawk. It's definitely

a 90s design almost a Dark Hawk Nighthawk. Whatever

the character is Maybe spawnish, wolverineish,

I don't know how to describe it, but the helmet

is actually way cooler than the figure actually

is. Okay, so here's the thing. At some point

soon, before this goes out, but you need to take

pictures of your own figure, because some of

the pictures that these websites have are so

damn small, I'm like, okay, so it's the reverse

of a Funko Pop, it's big body little head. Because

I can barely see his head on the image. Well,

the big body, the head is actually at scale.

The body is actually quite a bit larger than

a typical Joe. That was the gimmick for this.

Yeah. Well, let me tell you what I see here.

I see a matte black and bright -ass orange Optimus

Primal body. Oh, yes. Literally, I'm like, why

is it not red and glowing? It looked like that

Optimus Primal we were trying to figure out which

one you had. But I'm looking at this thing and

I'm like, yeah, that's an ape chest. That's not

a robo chest. That's a that's a monkey, not a

G .I. Joe figure. So, yes, it is a very large

chunk, chunky figure. I think as the kids would

say, he's very chunky. And I I love that as a

kid. Actually, at the time I mixed these. Armored

Joe's if you if you actually check out the the

listing of the ones that came out at this time.

I Use these with my aliens figures. They just

worked better And then the Marines that came

out because the Marines in the Kenner line were

very pre -posed They weren't very articulated.

You couldn't really pose them. But these figures

worked really well. So my aliens fought my Robo

Joe and the other characters in the Star Brigade

the Star Brigade fighters assortment all those

armored figures. They're pretty cool I never

as a kid actually got the Destro and they had

a Cobra Bat in this line. I never had the two

bad guys, I only had the four main ones. But

they worked really well. The interesting thing,

if you actually look at the four, well actually

it's the six, and you compare how many of them

borrowed parts, I actually loved that as a kid,

was trying to figure out which parts were borrowed

between them. There were a couple. It was mostly

in the arms and the legs that were borrowed,

but most of the torsos are pretty unique. What

always got me was that there were three from

Destro. I think that's Duke. and is that heavy

duty heavy duty they all had a rocket launching

arm that did not look like it anatomically worked

as an arm in the least oh my god so it's a very

unique line in that it seemed like everybody

lost a body part just to be part of this process

except rock and roll who does not seem like a

guy who's gonna go into space but he has this

really cool he actually had one of the better

unique robotic armor I don't know, but the thing

that always catches my eye about Robo Joe is

that he's this bright orange neon figure on a

card back, and I have a carded version of it,

on a card back that is neon pink, mind you. And

of all the space figures at the time, the Star

Brigade figures at the time, they varied in their

colors and their craziness. He's the most contrasting

in terms of... bright neon orange, neon pink.

For some reason, it just works, but it doesn't

work at the same time. I've never seen this.

And so even from when I first got him, he was

always one of my favorite figures as a kid. He

didn't even need his helmet. The helmet was cool,

but he didn't even need his helmet in order to

be a neat, unique G .I. Joe. But he never got

reused for anything else. It was just this weird,

one -off G .I. Joe that existed and was super

fun. to have his shoulder mounted rocket launcher,

all these weapons that you probably wouldn't

use in space like the machete, let's just be

honest. Never got brought up again, never was

in any other media except maybe one tiny little

picture. Look, you keep talking about why a machete

in space shouldn't be used. Yet here is She -Ra

on a unicorn who can't breathe in space without

a damn helmet, who has a sword that turns into

a helmet and she's flying on a machete in space

is your disbelief? Really? Seriously? Come on

now. So I'm not saying that because I don't believe

the machete that I can accept She -Ra on a unicorn.

That's not the way my brain works. But my point

is she had a sword in space that turned into

a helmet so she could breathe. My point is is

that if that shit sort of worked, a machete in

space and a knife in space in general should

work. I mean, hell, they have forks and knives

on the space shuttle so they can eat their rations

or whatever they eat. I'm just throwing it out

here. If he's some sort of robotic engineering

genius, some sort of scientific person, I just

would not think that the same weapon that Jason

Voorhees would use is the same one that he would

prioritize for his fighting of cobras and space

mutants. I mean, maybe the space means it makes

sense, but it just because also from that same

year. There was a figure known as monstro viper

who threw Which if you're not familiar with the

oh, that's from mega Marines. That's not even

from this in space line my god Okay, hang on.

Okay? Hang out. Let's go to 94 because actually

made space aliens for them to fight not just

the Cobra so there was Several very interesting

bad guys one was known as carcass an alien destroyer

Okay And this one I actually have a name Predacon

tell me if that sounds familiar. It does but

not for the reasons you think. Loboto Max. Oh

great. Another alien and then there's a couple

that aren't listed on here and I'm not sure why

they might be international only. But there were

some pretty wacky space aliens for them to fight

so there was a lot of I think. They were really

banking on G .I. Joe's in space taking off and

rescuing and salvaging the line. And unfortunately

it... What's the word I'm looking for? Didn't

work. It killed it. So I've sent you a couple

of images. The thing with this Robo Joe though

is that a lot of G .I. Joe's... We'll get several

iterations. A lot of GIGOs will have several

versions that come out of them. I'm looking at

one listing here. Where'd it go? I was looking

at a listing, and now I'm not anymore. Oh, Roadblock.

So this is Roadblock from 1994. This is his seventh

version. There were seven Roadblocks. Roadblock

was just that important. Who's this, though?

Well, again, Vape version 4. Again, all of the

Joes that are major Joes, like Roadblock, like

Duke, like Scarlett, like... Who's the... Flint.

Just all of the major ones you know of that you

would assume because they are those... They are

essentially the top characters of that brand.

They are going to get multiple releases. This

guy doesn't seem like he is top tier, like this

guy seems like he's a Kathy Griffin tier, like

C or D tier kind of character. However, unlike

many other characters, especially some of the

random one -offs that do exist in G .I. Joe,

this Robo -Joe has a special long -lasting artifact

that exists and it's that Robo Joe was a feature

custom class at a JoCon in 2015 where if you

got in for this class you paid a couple bucks

and you brought in I believe it was an accelerator

suit Duke or Ripcord from the Rise of Cobra line

Mm -hmm. They taught you how to customize that

figure into a modern Robo Joe oh wow and I wasn't

there for it. I can't remember why I couldn't

go there's probably 25 different reasons why

I couldn't go and if I would have known this

probably would have drawn me into that event

no matter what and The actual end result of the

figure is a million times better than what the

original figure was. It's just what you might

actually notice this too, looking at it. So they

provided you with a new torso, new upper arms,

some weapons, and a new head. The upper torso

and upper arms are very, very, very close to

RoboCop, which is sort of the inspiration for

this toy. But also, the accessories that come

with him are a hand gun that looks very much

like RoboCop's gun and a pulse rifle from aliens

hmm so it's really really interesting that those

are the choices but those are also the inspirations

for it he like I said he fought my what do you

call it he fought my aliens he was one of the

alien fighters and he's got a pulse rifle and

His whole backstory is Robocop, and he's got

a Robocop gun. It's a neat little figure. Absolutely.

Yeah, he looks cool. He got a nice updating from

the G .I. Joe 2015 Convention Customization class,

and this is a figure I could see having on a

shelf. Not necessarily no monkey head Optimus

Primal. I can't remember what year Beast Wars

came out. 1996. Okay, so this came out way before

we ever got Optimal Optimist. I understand that

and I'm not even talking about Optimal Optimist.

The only reason I'm saying that is that the color

choice, that bright orange. Yeah. Is always going

to be interesting especially because the connection

between Kenner and Hasbro especially around that

time. But that bright orange is a very very unique.

Choice I would say. Oh absolutely and I'm not

saying that I think it looks like Optimus Primal

because of the colors I'm saying I think it looks

about like Optimus Primal because of how they

sculpted the figure how his chest looks how his

legs look. That's why I'm saying I think it looks

like a monkey. Yeah, he's a chunky boy. Yeah

Now as I said the 2015 Joe Khan exclusive Customization

class figure version looks much more militaristic

and he kind of has a t2 Liquid metal kind of

vibe to his face And I think that just is one

of the interpretations from the custom class

of what people were doing I don't think that

is the standard. I think people could I don't

know how many of these were made. I don't know

how many parts were made But it does say in the

description that you could bring your own Colors

your own paintbrushes and go your own way. Yeah

And the funny thing is is the main image that

of the multiples that are shown here that I'm

looking at I think there's three total images.

Yeah, various people did different like there's

another one that has a blonde head with no yeah

but the one that i'm looking at basically looks

like a really really old t -1000 but the funny

thing is is that in behind of him and kind of

blurred out looks to be the original figure and

he doesn't look as garish as That bright orange

on him with the black chest does not look as

garish in this photo than it does in whatever

photo that Yo Joe has. It is interesting how

just that little flip of the inverse of the chest

makes the figure look very, very different. I

don't know what I would prefer. I think the orange

on the original figure is certainly more neon.

It will hit like a black light a lot better than

the custom class, which is just a little bit

more of a pumpkin orange. Yeah, no, but what

I'm saying is in this here, I will send this

to you in this image in the background. Oh, I

see it. No, I can see it. OK, I was going to

say I can't be the only one that sees the giant

monkey behind the military guy. Sorry. So. You

know, I think when it comes to a lot of those

90s figures from 92, 93, 94, 95, they have some

glaring. Issues that don't hold up very well

today that this armored figure I don't know how

a human being could be inside of that at all.

Yeah To make anything work. It just doesn't a

lot of armor suits don't make sense It's why

I can appreciate a chunkier iron man because

you got to fit a body in there Yeah, but there's

some suits like Hulkbuster doesn't anatomically

work. Like how is Iron Man inside of that and

operating it and doing the things. I don't know

It's a movie and it's fictional and whatever,

you know how he's doing that Hulkbuster to my

knowledge without actually having to look at

it from what I remember. It's more of a pilot

program So even though it's Tony Stark in Iron

Man in his Iron Man tech But it's this giant

Iron Man suit where instead of conforming around

his body and being all, you know, Mark Forty

whatever. It's him in a seat controlling a giant

ray. It's basically him doing a Marvel version

of, oh, what was it? Stupid movie. Oh, God. It

was Jeff. Oh, I know what you're thinking. Star

kid or something like that. No, no. It was basically

Iron Man. That's stupid movie. It was like Transformers

and G .I. Joe and everything mixed together.

It was... Hocus Pocus 2? No. That's not... I

fight for justice. It's... Fuck, what is it?

Pacific Rim, that's what it was. Oh, okay. Yeah,

I'm not gonna think too deep into it. Yeah, no,

no, no. And but it's just it was just really.

Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, the Hulkbuster stuff,

I personally think he's just getting into a cockpit.

He's not trying to. And that's how a person would

fit into. No. And I get that. It's just this

suit with Robo Joe for me works because, oh,

he's just a cyborg. He's basically just a human

head with a cybernetic body. But you throw the

other Joe's into this and you're looking at it

How are they fitting into that without being

massively uncomfortable or having to tear an

arm off or something? Yeah, true There there

is an artist and I can't find some of the cartoons

and if I can find any of them I'll send you a

link David Willis of short back a short packed

fame. He did a lot of action figure stuff In

his comic strips he does a lot of stuff with

transformers he would use robojo a lot in some

of the strips and I only found one. I'll see

if I can find some others but he made a lot of

jokes about it because it's such an unusual character

and figure. But at the end of the day the reason

I like this is that. I could have the original

13 Joe's a lot of the really old school ones

this is the one that's gonna catch my eyes was

gonna catch other people's eyes where they're.

Going to ask why is this tactical military soldier

in a giant chunky monkey shaped bright orange

highlighter orange armor suit? How is that effective?

And at the end of the day, it's just one of those

figures that's going to stick with me. As long

as I'm collecting because it's just so. 90s.

So I was about to say something about the 90s,

so that's where I'll pick it up. I don't know

where we left off, but. You just finished with

saying why you loved the figure and. an era in

the 90s of colors and the this and the that and

everything else. Oh, yes. So Robo Joe, just because

of his colors, because of his style, it's just

a memorable, memorable piece of my history. And

you'll see it from across the room. You'll come

into the toy room once I clean it up for the

40th time in the last six months. And you'll

look and you'll see this. Basically a tiny little

traffic cone of a figure. You'll say, what's

that? And we'll move on with our lives. Yep.

Absolutely. Alright, so... What you got? I got

something, but... The 90s. I was completely out

of... Like, toys. I... Well, didn't you just

a couple of Simpsons become one of those well

-adjusted well -adjusted adolescents all No,

no, no, I'm saying like I was I From 91 to 93

let's say 94 if I wasn't a toys it was to do

with the Simpsons and Bart and Bart man and all

that and Whatever else or it was to do with whatever

Batman the animated series was doing like GI

Joe to me Ended when Duke woke up from his coma.

He should have just stayed dead Sorry, Michael

Bell And that's fine, I mean Most people I know

who are a little older than me who were in a

Joe The movie is what killed it for them. Yep,

and for me growing up Obviously being a little

younger when that happened, I think it was like

five, four or five when that happened. I started

inheriting Joe's as time went on and I was very

well aware of Joe's, but I just grew up in a

neon era of just ridiculousness. And let's try

to get your attention with bright colors. That's

what the selling point was. Well, because in

the nineties, we needed a new gimmick. We needed

something to get the... younger generation in

on action figures and Even though Transformers

and certain other toy lines were still around

they were in the monks of transition because

they just were So what I have tonight, I wasn't

sure I was gonna even be able to do this because

I thought I screwed up Because I thought oh,

why would they sell me a figure where they say

it's lights and sounds? When I have to actually

you know usually it's like oh You can buy this

figure, but batteries are not included and I

look at the bottom of the thing I'm like oh great

a screw a Screw loose battery compartment great,

so I gotta go find a screwdriver because I don't

have a screwdriver always at the ready At least

not one without some clear liquid and some orange

liquid, but that's a discussion for a completely

different podcast And then I go back and I watch

the video by Funko Pop licensing director, or

he's one of the licensing people, Jason Bischoff,

over there at Funko, and I'm like, oh, there's

a tab to hold the battery in place so the thing

isn't wasting battery power while it's being

shipped. So we all love Batman, right? Yeah,

yeah, no idea. I guess, okay, okay. We'll go

for that. Thank you, mr. Oates No one but me

is gonna get that joke all right. Oh Hey, you

know, I'm the Eagle Eagle maniac lot one out

of the two of us here Do you ever remember and

I assume you do but you've seen spider -man the

animated series, correct grew up with it Okay

Remember how he would always go back to that

gargoyle named Bruce. Yes Okay So I have here

the latest Funko lights and sounds pop it is

a Batman and He is Crouching on What is supposed

to look like a rooftop piece and it has a gargoyle

face and I'm like, oh So they couldn't give spider

-man the gargoyle and call the gargoyle Bruce

They have to give it to Batman because Batman

Bruce Bruce Wayne Batman or have you met Oh great,

what they used to call it, stereo. So anyway,

this figure is a lights and sounds figure and

this is what he sounds like. I am Batman. I fight

for justice. Gotham City needs me. He only has

three sayings, but it is very, very cool. Like

I said, Funko licensing guy Jason Bischoff does

the voice. I don't know why he was the one to

do the voice, that's fine. I saw the video of

him doing the unboxing initially, and he was

like, this is a lifelong dream come true for

him. I'm like, great, follow your dreams, dude,

absolutely. And one of these days, I'd love to

have him on the show. But I remember when this

was first announced, it was like, ooh, is that

Kevin Conroy? No, it's not. And that's okay.

But I think it's cool that Funco, even though

this is still a pop, it is a very, very cool

pop to the point of not many pops talk back or

at least, you know, not once you can just tap

on the head and they speak and you don't have

to give them a bat treat. Can I ask you a question

though? Yeah. Okay, so not many pops talk back.

How many pops do you talk to? I talk to the bottle

of Diet Coke every day, but that's a whole other

discussion. No, no, no. I'm actually seriously

curious. How many have you tried talking to to

test this theory? No, I don't know. That's not...

No. I'm saying... Three or four. Okay, I understand.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm fine. I'm not

judging. I'm totally cool with that. You're over

there talking to a black and orange monkey. Mm

-hmm. Okay. Oh, I was, I, holy cow. See, I, I'm

still, it's been months. I'm still recovering

from COVID. I was looking around trying to think

what orange and black monkey is he referring

to? The one you just talked about. I know. I

just, I haven't built in the, the, the go -to

reference that it's a. black and orange monkey.

So I'm, Oh, all right. What's he talking about?

Which one is this? What, what, what? No, it's

the one literally sitting on front of me and

on my desk right now. I mean, like, like I said,

literally, I just opened this tonight as of this

recording, even though people won't hear this

until Christmas time, but it's really, really

fun. I think it's cool. I think it's great. I'm

interested to see. If I'll have to do the software

if once I put him back in the box. If I just

open the box and tap him on the head through

the plastic if he'll actually make the sounds

is right now. If I just set him down and I tap

him on the head. what lights up on him and I'm

gonna do it one more time not for sound effect

purposes but it's his eyes his his eyes and his

bat insignia and then it took me a half a minute

while I'm sitting here looking at this and I'm

like why is his in sick bat emblem on his costume

ghost white oh right that's why because it lights

up so yeah Funko pop Lights and sounds Batman

voiced by Jason Bischoff from funco licensing

very very very cool absolutely awesome Can I

throw something out there? Uh -huh? Can you imagine

that just being someone's dialogue on speed dating

so you've got five minutes to meet somebody and

You just get ready to tap it So okay. I'm sitting

you know. I'm a lady sitting down opposite Batman

hey I'm Jan. Who are you? I know, but I'd like

to talk to you. Okay, now we got your name. So

tell me a little bit about yourself. That's really

cool. Are you in the police or law enforcement

or? Okay, that's fine. We only have five minutes.

Do you want to go into this a little bit more

or? You mentioned that. Is that a surname is

that a family name? Where are you from? Okay,

I get it you're Okay, so do you need to go oh

I don't know. I don't know how long I can stretch

that dialogue out for. No, no. And honestly,

it's like, oh crap. I'm telling, I cannot, those

are the three things. He starts out with, I am

Batman. He goes to, I fight for justice. And

he goes to Gotham city needs me. So I don't have

control. Like I have to time it right. And sadly

in that other question, it was like, I can't

time this right. And I don't know if Josh's COVID

brain can. accurately respond to, I fight for

justice when you ask me where I live. I think

I was doing okay. I'm not saying you weren't.

I'm not saying you weren't at all. I'm just saying

like, if I had control over when he says what

he says, that would be great. That would be perfect.

It would be fun. But yeah, folks, lights and

sounds Batman. He is a Funko Shop exclusive,

so you can get him on Funko .com. And yeah, very,

very awesome. Absolutely dig him. I think he's

super, super awesome and great and cool and fun

and all that good stuff. And now I have to go

spend the rest of my Christmas with the Funko

Pops I haven't seen in three and a half years.

And see how many of them are going to talk back

for you. No, none of them talk back except for

I fight for justice. The guy that fights for

justice. OK, now what's his name again? Can't

do that. You got to ask him where he lives. Oh,

no, no, no, I did that on purpose. Yeah. Yeah,

no, I'm not doing that. No. Oh, there's already

one there's already one fucked up podcast as

it is. So we're doing just fine. Yeah, right.

Hey, you know what pops need, now that I'm looking

at some old G .I. Like, so I'm sitting here just

going through the rabbit hole of old G .I. Joe

stuff. Yep. They need operating gliders for pops

so you can just throw a pop through the air and

watch it glide away. They need that bad. Oh,

God, no. No. Can you imagine that? Actually,

I can because it's actually happening with a

different company But in actual working gliders,

G .I. Joe had some really cool ones. Yes, Hasbro

used to have working gliders with G .I. Joe However

Hasbro, and I'm not looking this up, so I'm probably

getting this wrong So if I'm getting it wrong,

I'm sorry, but I swear Hasbro recently over the

last couple of months announced for part of next

year's wave in legacy evolution. One step changers

that you just throw them and they transform.

You basically throw them in the air, they transform

and land on their feet. Hey, let's just be real.

I think there's going to be some hardcore collectors

who are going to be throwing those into the trash

just to see that. Well, I mean, a lot of the

ones that work now. Yeah, a lot of the one step

stuff that they do now is specifically aimed

at children five to 12 kind of thing. It's aimed

at young kids because yeah, that's what it is.

So anything else you want to bring up, sir? Anything

else you want to discuss before I kind of, you

know, trim the tree over here, I guess you could

say, since it's Christmas time. I would say no

Christmas is complete unless you set up a terrific,

awe -inspiring, what's the word I'm looking for,

whimsical, spirit of a holiday influenced battle

scene between your best figures. So, I'm gonna

challenge everybody to email me at floorburgercats

.org. Lash for stop. Stop. Okay. Don't email

me here. Here's what you can do folks for what

he's asking you to do. Just email us feedback

at geocastradio .com and send your best holiday

battle scene you can come up with because that's

how I spent most of my holidays as a kid sitting

up any available figures under the tree in the

tree. That's why we actually, years later, I

would say probably in 2008, 2009, maybe 2010,

we actually found mask figures perfectly in shape

in old Christmas decoration boxes. Because they

were in the tree and with the train and stuff

when it all got packed up. That doesn't surprise

me. It's funny that you should say this because

I have something from 2018, I believe. Yes, I

do. I have a Funko Pop Christmas display featuring

Harry, Marv, Clark, Eddie, Kevin, Christmas Deadpool,

Christmas Groot, and Holiday Hulk, along with

Michael Knight in Kit. Nice. This is from March,

actually. Wow. I didn't post it until March 11th

of 2019, but it was from Christmas 2018. I mean,

that's usually when I end up posting a lot of

my Christmas stuff. Like, I took pictures for

Halloween and I'm lucky the night of, like, I

have a whole Halloween display currently set

up. that hasn't gone away because I haven't been

able to pull it down. I did nothing with it except

watch my cats knock over 40 % of all the toys

they had set up meticulously. That's funny. All

right, folks, we're going to get the heck out

of here. Thank you for joining us once again

here on Toycast. This may or may not be the final

episode of 2022. I'm pretty sure it's going to

be because we've reached 165 episodes and And

we need a holiday break. We really, really do.

Heaven forbid we come back here on New Year's

Eve and we all get drunk on a starship for episode

166, because nobody wants to see Chewie get drunk

on the Millennium Falcon. They really don't.

Wait, wait, wait. Maybe some people might. No,

nobody does. Maybe... No, nobody does You can

find him on Twitter at floor burger five five

three. I am at TFU and Mike You can also follow

at geek cast radio if Twitter is still around

at this point God, stop it. Don't be one of those

people Okay, it hasn't gone anywhere yet a billionaire

buying it isn't gonna ruin it yet I mean it was

already ruined before he bought it. So, you know

I miss the old days of Twitter when, you know,

we had to worry about the fail whale. Anyway.

Is that me doing a belly flop? No, I will have

to send you that video so you can watch it later.

Anyway, at Geekcast Radio for the network, at

TF Toycast for the show. Remember, email us feedback

at geekcastradio .com over the holidays. And

let us know, what do you want from these people?

A holiday battle under the tree, or menorah,

if you are... So inclined. Yeah. Just send your

best, most festive holiday battle under the tree.

Just don't light the menorah under the tree and

have the plastic next to it, cause... Unless

it's part of the plot. The ending to that plot

is the house burns down. By the way, we are not

liable under the advice of our attorneys. We're

not liable for any behaviors you may undertake

while under the tree with a lit candle. Exactly.

And if that happens, we want 20 % of the insurance

money. According to our attorney, I agree to

that. Keep playing with your toys. We'll talk

to you next time here on Toycast. The Santa Man!
