    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.

From heroic commanders to ruthless villains, we’re digging into the action figures and collectibles that represent power, influence, and authority across pop culture. Along the way, we talk about what makes a great “leader” character, why these figures stand out on the shelf, and how leadership—good or bad—translates into plastic form.

    Cracktastic Plastic 159: Video Game Toys + Aaron's 80s Toys & Collectibes - Toy Podcast

    From pixelated heroes to plastic powerhouses, this episode of Cracktastic Plastic dives into toys born from video games. We’re talking action figures, collectibles, and oddball tie-ins inspired by classic and modern games alike—how they captured the look and spirit of their digital worlds, which ones actually nailed the transition from screen to shelf, and why video game toys hold such a unique place in collector culture. Whether you grew up mashing buttons or just admiring the figures afterward, this one’s all about when gaming leapt off the console and into your hands. Joining us on this episode is our good friend Gary Cooper—also known as Scary Gary—a longtime pal from Kansas City and a true connoisseur of all things retro gaming. Gary is a passionate horror movie fan and supporter of the genre, a newly minted dad, and someone who really knows his way around classic video games and the toys they inspired. We’re thrilled to have him on the show to bring his knowledge, nostalgia, and love of plastic-fueled gaming history to the table. Please welcome Mr. Eyebrows himself, Scary Gary. We also spotlight Aaron's 80s Toys & Collectibles during our Store Tour segment and talk about whether it’s a shop we should visit someday.

    Cracktastic Plastic 155: Batman Toys + The Forgotten Toy Box - Toy Podcast

    This week on Cracktastic Plastic, we’re shining the Bat-Signal and diving headfirst into the world of Batman toys. From classic Kenner figures and animated-era favorites to modern takes on the Dark Knight, Batman has been a cornerstone of toy collecting for generations—and for us, he’s always been a must-have on the shelf. This episode is inspired by our very special guest and CORPS member, Mike Ward. We’re thrilled to have Mike join us as we turn the spotlight over to him. We’ll ask Mike to introduce himself, walk us through his toy-collecting journey, and share how he found his way into the hobby. Of course, we’ll also dig into the big question: what is it about Batman that keeps him coming back to the Caped Crusader time and time again? We also spotlight The Forgotten Toy Box during our Store Tour segment and talk about whether it’s a shop we should visit someday.
