    Cracktastic Plastic 174: #JaysDay Toy Hunt + Subatomic Vintage Toys - Toy Podcast

    Last Saturday, the crew loaded up the van and hit the road for #JaysDay, an all-day toy hunting adventure through Des Moines with Elgn, John Tipton, Chris “Turnip” Simmons, and the family — including stops at all three Jay’s CD & Hobby locations in search of retro treasures, hidden gems, and questionable purchases we definitely didn’t need. Then, with Memorial Day setting the tone, Elgn and I take a more personal turn by sharing toys connected to some of our best memories… and a few not-so-great ones. From toy hunt highlights to nostalgia that hits a little deeper, this episode is packed with stories, laughs, collecting chaos, and memories that remind us why toys stick with us long after childhood. We also spotlight Subatomic Vintage Toys during our Store Tour segment and talk about whether it’s a shop that everyone should visit someday.

    Cracktastic Plastic 172: Moms of the Multiverse + Scouting Collectibles - Toy Podcast

    This week on Cracktastic Plastic, we’re celebrating the real MVPs—moms! In honor of Mother’s Day, we’re digging into our collections to spotlight all the mom-related toys we can find. From iconic cartoon moms to action figure matriarchs (and maybe a few questionable choices along the way), it’s a tribute packed with nostalgia, laughs, and a surprising amount of maternal energy. Will these figures be nurturing, tough-as-nails, or just accidentally unhinged? Probably all of the above. So call your mom, then hit play—this one’s for her.

    Cracktastic Plastic 170: Weapons: Axes + Main Street Geek - Toy Podcast

    Slice into something sharp as we take a swing at one of the most brutal—and somehow most toyetic weapon choices out there: axes. From double-bladed beauties to chunky, chrome-plated choppers, we’re hacking through heaps of plastic to spotlight the most iconic, impractical, and just plain insane axes ever packed in a blister card. Along the way, expect some questionable design choices, a few safety red flags, and plenty of stories about why axes always felt just a little more intense than your standard sword or blaster. It’s a cleave-tastic celebration of toy carnage you won’t want to miss—and yeah… it’s a real cut above the rest. We also spotlight Main Street Geek during our Store Tour segment and talk about whether it’s a shop that everyone should visit someday.

    Cracktastic Plastic 168: Big Boys + The Treasure Chest Collectibles - Toy Podcast

    Sometimes bigger really is better. This episode of Cracktastic Plastic is all about the absolute units in our collections—the shelf hogs, space invaders, and gloriously oversized toys that make standard action figures look like accessories. These guys dig into the biggest pieces they own, from towering action figures to massive playsets and jumbo collectibles, sharing the stories behind these larger-than-life treasures and why some toys are worth rearranging an entire room to display. If it takes two hands to lift it and an engineering degree to find shelf space for it, it probably belongs in this episode. Joining the fun is fellow YouTuber, CORPS member, and longtime friend Wildish Bill Fisher! Known for sharing his love of toys, collectibles, and pop culture across his YouTube channel, Bill brings the same collector passion and enthusiasm that makes this hobby so much fun to share with others. We’re excited to have Bill hang out with the CP crew to talk giant collectibles, collector joy, and the oversized pieces that became centerpieces in our collections. We also spotlight The Treasure Chest Collectibles during our Store Tour segment and talk about whether it’s a shop that everyone should visit someday.
