    In this episode of Cracktastic Plastic, we’re going full beast mode as we dive into the wild world of animal sidekick toys! From loyal companions to scene-stealing critters, Jason, Elgn, and Mike dig into their collections to showcase some of their favorite furry, scaly, and robotic partners in plastic. Whether they’re helping heroes save the day or just looking cool on the shelf, these sidekicks prove that sometimes the real star isn’t the main character—it’s the animal standing next to them. Expect plenty of nostalgia, deep cuts, and maybe a few unexpected picks along the way.

    Cracktastic Plastic 166: Hands Matter + Comic Paradise Plus - Toy Podcast

    In the world of toy collecting, we talk a lot about sculpt, paint, and articulation—but today, we’re getting a little more hands-on. Literally. This episode, “Hands Matter,” is all about one of the most overlooked (and sometimes most frustrating) details in action figures: the hands. Open palms, clenched fists, awkward grips—these tiny pieces of plastic can make or break a figure. Whether it’s a perfectly posed power punch, a weapon that just won’t stay put, or those weird half-curled fingers that seem designed for absolutely nothing… we’re diving into what works, what doesn’t, and why it matters more than you think. So get a grip—hopefully a good one—and let’s talk hands. We also spotlight Comic Paradise Plus during our Store Tour segment and talk about whether it’s a shop we should visit someday.

    Cracktastic Plastic 165: Weapons: Guns + The Core - Toy Podcast

    In this episode of Cracktastic Plastic, we’re zeroing in on one of the most iconic accessories in action figure history: guns. From tiny pistols that disappear into couch cushions to oversized sci-fi blasters that somehow defy all physics, we’re showcasing our favorite firearm accessories from across our collections. Expect a mix of nostalgia, absurdity, and maybe a few questionable design choices as we highlight the coolest, weirdest, and most memorable guns that ever came packed with plastic heroes and villains. No safety training required—just a love for toys and a trigger finger for great stories. We also spotlight The Core during our Store Tour segment and talk about whether it’s a shop we should visit someday.

    Cracktastic Plastic 164: March Madness + Dallas Vintage Toys - Toy Podcast

    It’s March Madness on Cracktastic Plastic—but we’re not talking brackets and basketball. We’re diving headfirst into the toy chest to spotlight the wildest, weirdest, and most unhinged characters in our collections. From cackling villains and deranged monsters to heroes who might be just a little… off, Jason, Elgn, and Mike showcase figures that prove insanity is sometimes the best accessory a character can have. Expect maniacal laughter, questionable decision-making, and plenty of plastic personalities that have clearly lost their grip on reality. Whether they’re mad scientists, chaotic villains, or just plain bonkers, these toys bring the madness in the best possible way. So grab your straightjacket and join us as we celebrate the craziest characters in toy form—because in this episode, the only thing more dangerous than madness… is how much we love collecting it. We also spotlight Dallas Vintage Toys during our Store Tour segment and talk about whether it’s a shop we should visit someday.

    Cracktastic Plastic 163: Motorcycle Mayhem + High 5 Retro Guys - Toy Podcast

    This week on Cracktastic Plastic, Elgn and I fire up the engines and hit the open road as we dive into motorcycle action figures—the toys that proved two wheels were always cooler than four. From leather-clad loners to fully geared-up heroes and villains, we’re pulling bikes and riders straight from our collections and talking about what makes a great motorcycle toy actually ride. We may or may not reveal that we’re part of a very exclusive (and extremely imaginary) motorcycle gang—jackets, attitude, and all—held together by plastic, nostalgia, and questionable sound effects. So grab your helmet, kickstand your worries, and cruise with us through a toy aisle where the engines are loud and the figures are poseable. We also spotlight High 5 Retro Guys during our Store Tour segment and talk about whether it’s a shop we should visit someday.

    Cracktastic Plastic 162: Cape Crusaders + Retrobutta - Toy Podcast

    In this episode of Cracktastic Plastic, Elgn and I suit up for Cape Crusaders, shining a spotlight on one of the most dramatic toy accessories of all time: the cape. From flowing fabric to molded plastic, capes can elevate a figure from good to legendary. We’ll be pulling examples straight from our own collections, showing off favorites, talking about what works (and what doesn’t), and why a great cape can completely change a toy’s presence on the shelf. Whether you’re a soft-goods fan or a plastic purist, this one’s all about heroes, villains, and the power of a well-designed cape.

    Cracktastic Plastic 161: Unpopular Opinions + Miller's Comics, Cards, & Collectibles - Toy Podcast

    In Unpopular Opinions, the Cracktastic Plastic crew leans into those toy takes that don’t always line up with the majority—whether that means calling out beloved lines that never clicked with us or defending figures and brands we think deserve way more love. From hot-button collecting debates to surprising personal favorites, this episode is all about honest opinions, friendly disagreement, and celebrating the fact that collecting is personal. You may nod along, you may shake your head—but either way, it’s all part of the fun.  We’re also excited to welcome back Larry Watanabe, returning to the show for the first time since his appearance on episode 32, What Makes a Good Toy Room. Larry brings a thoughtful, collector-focused perspective to every conversation, and his insights pair perfectly with a topic built around differing viewpoints. Whether he’s challenging the room or backing up a stance with years of experience, Larry’s return adds depth, balance, and a familiar voice to an episode all about standing by your opinions. We also spotlight Miller's Comics, Cards, & Collectibles during our Store Tour segment and talk about whether it’s a shop we should visit someday.
