    Without Cartoons, How Do Kids Find Toys These Days? Ep. 249

Every commercial break was selling us a new product; most of the products were toys based on the very cartoons we were watching!

Help us out...how do YOU think kids find out about the latest toy craze, if there even is one? Sound off in the comments below, or leave us a message on the FITT Voicemail Line!!

    The Shaq Toy Mystery: Collecting Steel and 90s Hasbro History | WWWW 204

    From the notorious 4% Rotten Tomatoes "Steel" movie toys to the hidden history of Remco’s legal battles with Mattel, we’re diving deep into the weirdest corners of the 90s toy aisle. We breakdown why John is hunting for Shaquille O'Neal’s John Henry Irons, the mystery of the "missing" Sinbad genie movie, and the insane $300 price tag on a carded Warrior Beast. Whether it’s a vintage Star Wars Sigma mug Win or a yellowed blister pack Wiff, this episode is a nostalgia-fueled journey through the lines that time (and most collectors) forgot. 🚨📞 Call our FITT Voicemail Line to leave a comment, question, or suggestion: 732-800-1977 00:00 - Missing idiots and cruise ship rumors 02:40 - The "Chicken Nuggets" soccer victory 04:12 - Lacrosse sticks and "stubble" mustache opponents 06:10 - Becoming accidental Arsenal soccer fans 09:42 - Why John needs to change his hat 11:00 - The Shaq "Steel" toy line: A 4% masterpiece 12:45 - The Death of Superman and the $0.00 comic investment 14:40 - Why 90s companies turned everything into a toy 16:30 - The Princess Leia Sigma mug: Win or Wiff? 18:40 - $300 Warrior Beasts: The Remco vs. Mattel rivalry 21:50 - Collecting in the 80s drugstore aisles 23:45 - Star Wars stamps and the postage value trap 25:15 - Brandon crashes the episode at the buzzer #ToyCollecting #90sToys #StarWars #SteelMovie #ActionFigures #Remco #Hasbro #FiveIdiotsTalkingToys #FITT #WinsAndWiffs #Shaq #Superman #VintageToys #WarriorBeast ---------------------- 🫶 Support our #podcast through Patreon, and get early access to #toycollection previews, exclusive #starwarsactionfigures video content like Rated-R collector episodes AKA "Five Idiots After Dark" & our regular episodes before the public: https://patreon.com/FiveIdiotsTalkingToys 👍🏼 Follow us on social media!

    The $600 Hasbro Gamble: Is Ultimate Grogu the Most Insane Star Wars Toy Ever? | 248

    Is Hasbro’s new $599 life-size Grogu a major Win or a total Wiff? We’re breaking down the specs, the staggering price point, and why this animatronic "toy" has the FITT crew divided. From 250+ animations to the mystery of the 4 D batteries, we’re asking the tough questions about the future of modern toy collecting and Star Wars memorabilia. Standing 14.6 inches tall, this 1:1 scale animatronic is impressive technologically, featuring 18 points of motorized articulation and 14 sensors that bring the "Child" to life. Whether he's using the "Force" to make his blue macaron vibrate or entering "Grab & Go" mode for your next cosplay, the engineering behind his squishy skin and directional audio is undeniable. However, with a $599 price tag, the collector community remains torn on whether these premium features—like the screen-accurate robes and "toddling" walk—justify the cost or if it's just a high-tech Wiff for most collectors. 🚨📞 Call our FITT Voicemail Line to leave a comment, question, or suggestion: 732-800-1977 00:00 - The pre-order madness begins02:10 - Why John hated Mandalorian Season 304:08 - The 2027 shipping delay nightmare05:56 - $600 for Grogu vs. the Jabba Sail Barge07:54 - Is it a toy or a $600 Teddy Ruxpin?08:50 - 18 points of "insane" motorized articulation11:12 - The Wiff: Furby vibes for a premium price13:25 - Hidden "Cosplay Mode" features15:46 - The D battery disaster and USBC fails19:16 - Why a Roomba is a better investment20:25 - Scalpers and third-party site chaos23:28 - Listener Voicemail: Designer toy artist tips25:31 - May the 4th vibes and packing peanut legends#UltimateGrogu #TheMandalorianAndGrogu #StarWarsCollecting #ActionFigures #ToyReview #Grogu #TheMandalorian #Hasbro #HasbroPulse #StarWarsMovie #StarWarsToys #FiveIdiotsTalkingToys #FITT #DisneyPlus #ToyPodcast #BabyYoda #Anamatronics ----------------------🫶 Support our #podcast through Patreon, and get early access to #toycollection previews, exclusive #starwarsactionfigures video content like Rated-R collector episodes AKA "Five Idiots After Dark" & our regular episodes before the public:https://patreon.com/FiveIdiotsTalkingToys
