The official action figure influencer rankings are out, and The Reluctant Adult Podcast scored off the charts! So far off, our names were nowhere to be seen. Plus, banned from Walmart? Could you imagine never being able to pre-order an exclusive again? OK, maybe things wouldn’t be so different. And, MiniBrands are a big deal, but how long until we get miniature versions of those classic Kenner Star Wars packages? Strike me down in anger and I’ll always be with you. Just like The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

Seth Rogan is cooking up a little Mutant Mayhem for the next TMNT movie. Hopefully we’re not violating the Digital Millennium Copyright Act by mentioning this. Plus, what’cha gonna do brother, when the largest retailer in the world ships your action figure with less-than-desirable chest hair? And, begun the streaming wars have. Only this time, the networks are battling the creators and the viewers. ‘Battin’ down the hatches. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

It’s a not-so-civil war of words on TikTok as the keyboard warriors come out to play-yay-yay. Plus, Ben Affleck is back as the bat as first reported by a family on vacation at Universal Hollywood. And, Mattel steps in it again with their Jurassic Park line, but at least they had the good sense to wear gloves. God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

The boys are back in town, but everyone else is back in San Diego for the first in-person Comic Con since 2019. Plus, Hasbro shows off their Selfie Series technology while fans line up to surrender their likeness right to the toy giant. And, NECA keeps the Ninja Turtle gravy train rolling with the most obscure characters from the original cartoon and new Turtle dudes from the funny pages. Hey guys? Uh, structurally speaking, I don’t think this is ah, really a good time for your ah, buddies to drop in… It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast!

With a month left in the campaign, the Cobra HISS HasLab is fully funded, including all four stretch goals. Will Hasbro add additional incentives, or would that be considered bullying to the Star Wars team? Plus, it’s clobbering time! CM Punk makes his AEW action figure debut, and we immediately tear him apart. And, with apologies to Street Fighter, the Ninja Turtle defend their crown as the biggest IP hussies in town as they cozy up with the friends from Stranger Things. Mornings are for coffee and contemplation. And The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

Hasbro’s Star Wars team takes a drumming but keeps on funding. Meanwhile, the COBRA H.I.S.S. Tank meets its goal in a single day and it’s off to the races for more stretch goals! Also, Super Powers fans activate — form of 5 points of articulation! And, Super7 wants you to add another The Simpsons pre-order to your collection, but when can we expect to feel the heft of Homer’s rotund girth in our hands? Oh, I have three kids and no money. Why can’t I have no kids and three money? It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast!

The Kenobi finale has fans saying, “That was fine, I guess.” But will it be Obi-Wan and done for the beleaguered Disney+ series? Plus, for a good time, call Street Fighter. The 2D arcade fighting franchise joins forces with Optimus and the Transformers gang for some weird-ass toys. And, Disney Pixar’s latest flick is a real Buzz-killer. And that’s a spoiler. One minute you’re defending the whole galaxy. And suddenly you find yourself suckin’ down Darjeeling with... Marie Antoinette and her little sister, The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

Just when we thought Obi-Wan Kenobi couldn't possibly be any dumber, it went and did something like this... and totally redeemed itself! Plus, NERF taps into our nightmares to introduce their new mascot, “Murph,” which coincidentally is also the sound our stomach makes when we see this abomination. And, NECA adds “don’t undress them,” to the list of Gremlin rules. No matter how much he cries, no matter how much he begs, never feed him after The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge has us pix-elated for more retro-gaming and potential toys from NECA. Plus, ET turns 40. Funny, he doesn’t look a day over 10 million. And, Transform and Yo Joe! Hasbro mashes up two of their original intellectual properties. Let’s hope this fairs better than My Little Battleship. When I was young, I was too busy to make any friends. Such silliness did not seem worth the effort it expends. But my little ponies, you opened up my eyes. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast, guys!

Obi-Wan Kenobi has daddy issues, or maybe we’re reading too much into a single line of dialogue. No, it’s the children who are wrong. Plus, Hasbro Pulse rewards patient patrons with a blockbuster sale that has collectors’ wallets feeling empty. And, Stranger Things takes us back to The Upside Down, but we’re more worried about fending off plot spoilers than Demogorgons. You’re just jealous because I have another older male friend.
