Rob Post and Holly Tanory join us for this week’s Reluctant Adult Conversation. You may know Rob from his other toy line— fan favorite, fantasy-themed Savage Crucible. And you may know Holly from her steadfast Alabama football home game attendance. Together, they are responsible for one of the rising stars of the action figure world; the first super poseable college football action figures. Which institutions of higher learning are next on the Dean’s list for Collegiate Legends? Plus, could see the line expand to include other characters from the college football universe? And, why hasn’t anyone ever tried this before? Admittedly, Paul’s college football knowledge leaves something to be desired, so he tapped into the Morphing Grid to call in a favor from one half of the Bulk and Skull of podcasting, Billy from Zeo to Hero.

The early bird may get the worm, but Hasbro decided that every bird that backs their Ghostbusters HasLab will get Louis Tully. Plus, Mondo stops being polite and starts getting real with their cartoon accurate Peter Venkman and Samhain action figures. And, with an uncertain cinematic future, is there still always money in the banana stand known as Star Wars? Hasbro may soon find out. Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals... except the weasel. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

Brian Volk-Weiss, founder and CEO of Nacelle Toys, joins us for this week’s Reluctant Adult Conversation. At last month’s New York Comic Con, Brian revealed series one of Nacelle’s Star Trek action figures and fans had some questions. Like, “What is up with those character choices? No Spock? No Kirk? But we’re getting Valkris? In series one?!” We asked Brian to explain himself and you will want to hear what he has to say and what he has planned for future lineups. We also find out how this relatively new toy company already has its own dedicated endcap at Walmart, plus we learn Brian’s true feelings about Kirkstarter. I think you are going to find that part very interesting.

Hasbro finally gives the Power Rangers faithful something to spend money on. Why do these auctions have fans bidding farewell to the long-running series? Plus, Nintendo’s Alarmo serves as a wakeup call for single players. And, Hasbro dropped the ball with their Starting Lineup revival, but a new toy company is looking to scoop up the sack and score in their backside. Can't sleep. Clown'll eat me.

It turns out that Shredder’s real Revenge was forcing fans to keep re-buying the same Ninja Turtles video game over and over again. That devious bastard. Plus, Hasbro prematurely teases their next Ghostbusters HasLab. Will Ghostheads back the project just in slime? And, The Joker sequel fails to draw fans, which is surprisingly, considering how artsy it looks. We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas! It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

NECA dumps a brand-new batch of con exclusives on their website, recycling fan favorites and introducing an all-new, well-deserved TMNT action figure. Plus, the wait for more X-Men 97 may be longer than anticipated. Both Hasbro and Disney seem in no rush to capitalize on the success of season one. And, Target tightens their return policy to crack down on crafty customers in hopes of nipping retail fraud in the bud. Mrs. Krabappel and Principal Skinner were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at me. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

Buzz kill! Disney shifts blame for Lightyear’s failure to launch, choosing to ignore the movie’s despondent tone, generic spaceman story and tenuous connection to the established Toy Story universe. Plus, Mondo frightens collectors with limited edition Ahh! Real Monsters exclusives. And, always a slave to fashion, Princess Leia as Jabba’s Prisoner is back on the block. Just once I'd like someone to call me Sir without adding "you're making a scene.” It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.
