Action Figure Blues Podcast

We run through another set of Rapid Fire Reviews, and then take on another in our series of The Greatest Toyline Ever: is Kenner's Super Powers the one?

Scott checks out the Michonne figure from the Walking Dead series, to see if MacFarlane Toys has picked up its game. Then, we talk about the pros and perils of pre-ordering!

Eli takes a look at Mattel's version of Frank Miller's Dark Knight, and then we talk Exclusives and wonder if they're worth the hassle!

We look at the Marvel Select Rhino, and then we do a run down of the best and the worst in the world of female action figures. It's gonna get ugly.

After our regular features, we check in with the people behind two successful Kickstarter Toy Projects to learn about their products and the process involved in running a successful crowdfunding campaign for toys.

Ben checks out the Exclusive Version of Sideshow's Premium Format Storm, John attends GI Joe Con 2013 and meets some friends, and Scott has a look at DC Direct's Flash of Two Worlds Statue in honour of the life of Carmine Infantino.

It's time for another of our one-on-one chats, this time with everyone's favourite Westy - Adam!

Adam reviews the next instalment in SH Figuarts' Dragonball line, and then the gang look back on their childhoods and reflect on some of the mishaps and misfortunes that befell some of their action figures. Prepare to be terrified!

Justin looks at the long awaited Ram Man from the Masters of the Universe Classic line, and we discuss the highs and lows of toy and statue packaging! NOTE - there is no enhanced podcast this week, sorry!

John bring the Toy of the Week, which is the Funko Pop Vinyl Ghost Rider with surprise bobble head action, and then we take a look at the Toy History of Marvel's Merc with a Mouth - Deadpool!

Scott checks out the awesome giant cape version of the new Bowen Designs Scarlet Witch Statue, and we all dig in to the Marvel Legends Hit Monkey Wave for our discussion!

Ben tries something different for the toy of the week, but isn't completely sold on the results. Meanwhile, we launch a quest to find the greatest toy line to ever live, and start with our first contender: G.I. Joe!

John has to hold the fort when all the Aussies go walkabout for the week, and he brings in his friends Dave from the Flag Points Podcast and Newton Gimmick from Infinite Hollywood for a special chat about Vintage Toy Restoration!

Scott and John chat to sculptor Tim Miller about his career, his work with Sideshow Collectibles and Adam Hughes, and his involvement with the new DC Bombshells line from DC Collectibles, based on the work of Ant Lucia!

We celebrate one year of episodes by handing over to our listeners for some Rapid Fire Reviews! After all our regular features, enjoy some new voices as they review the latest and greatest from the action figure world!

We explore another Square Enix goodie, but Scotty has to crawl around on the floor to find all the pieces first! We also discuss the Star Wars Black 6" announcement, and things get heated! Who will survive when the battle line are drawn? Whatever the outcome, things will never be the same - until next week!

The AFB Podcast celebrates 50 Episodes with the usual dose of hilarity and giggling - and Randy Bowen of Bowen Designs!

The crew learn a thing or two about designer vinyl toys as they interview John Stokes of spankystokes.com!

Eli takes a look at Marvel Select's latest X-Men action figure offering, the lovely Storm, and we write another chapter in our Toy History Series: DC's Blue Beetle. There's a crisis in the air for Justin, who loves the Ted Kord Blue Beetle almost as much as he hates the Jaime Reyes version. Can Scott keep the peace? Listen to find out!

Rapid Fire Reviews return! Adam looks at Bandai's take on Evangelion, John looks at a G.I. Joe classic and Ben looks at… a bobble head?? Later on, James Chillcott from ShelfLife.net joins us to discuss a unique way to manage, track and sell your collection - whatever you collect!
