Episode 185- Toy Biz v Kenner- Dawn of Collecting or A Portrait of the Podcaster As A Young Geek

Published: Jan. 31, 2017, 7 a.m.

In this week's ball-collecting episode, Magnus waxes nostalgic about collecting toys in the late 80's and early 90's. Specifically, collecting Batman action figures.

The process of doing so unfolds many memories, some blissful and nostalgic. And others are still the source of foaming outrage over a given toy line's crappy craptacular crapness. Full of crap!

The Toy Biz line Batman '89 figures get compared to Kenner's subsequent Dark Knight Collection. Which one comes out on top? Of those two, which did Magnus love more?

The only way to find out for sure is to listen to this episode!

Or you could compare one line to the other, which should pretty much say it all. But hey, where's the fun in that, right? Right? Am I right? Where's the fun in that, right?

Due to the barrage of badassery this week, unfortunately there's just no time for listener feedback this week. But don't cry about it because there was some not long ago and there'll be more in the future!

Dry your eyes! Feedback will be addressed in just a few weeks. As a matter of fact, several upcoming episodes will feature feedback sections.

This would be an opportune time to send in any feedback you may have as the vault could get totally cleared out of feedback in the relatively near future. So get to writing!

In the meantime, though, don't let the lack of feedback this time get you down! You can still offer your feeble effort at tribute! You humble serfs are always welcome to kiss your benevolent leader's ring. Corrupt DiManzocorp interns are ready, willing, able and eager to accept your bribe to present your meager missives to your wise emperor. The email address to use is trentusmagnus@gmail.com as the other seems to be having technical problems.

In an another sublime act of truly unprecedented charity, your emperor permits you lowly rabble to suggest topics for a future episode. Thus, petitions may be sent to trentusmagnus@gmail.com for DiManzocorp interns to review, whereupon your leader might consider thinking about the possibility of potentially discussing whatever you have in mind some day. And that's a promise!
