It's a good news/bad news week for NECA fans as Loot Crate crowdfunding wraps up. Do we know the title of the next Ghosbusters film and is it going to be Ghostbusters 3, 4, or 5? Why is Mark Hamill's face so tough to translate into a toy and why is Funko destroying their own product? Make sure you watch episode one of The Mandalorian on Disney+ before listening to this episode because the guys get into serious spoiler territory.

The guys have a lot of toy news to catch up on after being off last week. Time is ticking on NECA's first LootCrate crowdfunding efforts. McDonald's tantalizes us with Happy Meals toys from our childhood, but do they live up to the hype? Wendy's tries to compete with the big dogs, but unsurprisingly makes a serious misstep. GameStop manages to enrage Paul and the guys struggle to remember Nickelodeon programming.
