The Reluctant Adult Podcast is your weekly reminder that growing up is optional, but buying toys as an adult is mandatory. Hosts Paul and Bill tackle the weird, wonderful world of pop culture, collectibles, and childhood obsessions that somehow got more expensive with age. From action figures to comic cons, they cover it all with the enthusiasm of kids and the disposable income of adults (barely). If your idea of “adulting” is deciding whether to open the box, this show is for you. New episodes drop every week. Follow along and remember—we don’t wanna grow up, but we already did!

It’s Power Morphicon time! Dragonzord! Mastodon! Pterodactyl! And the others. Hasbro and Super7 remind Power Rangers fans that they still want their money. Plus, what does your perfect The Office action figure line look like? Marvel Legends-level articulation or small enough to army build Dwights? And, is the latest assortment of Star Wars the Black Series clogging shelves or did Hasbro stick Target with the pegwarmer hall of fame? A big lump with knobs. It has the juice. I can’t imagine a more beautiful thing. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

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?

With a month left in the campaign, the Cobra HISS HasLab is fully funded, including all four stretch goals.

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.
