#399.4: Mega ToyFair & Blackstar!

This week on the Toy Power Podcast; we recap our attendance at the Adelaide Mega Toy Fair event.  This annual event promotes itself for its long running campaign; but with new organisers this year, how did it actually go?  We chat towards what we spotted, what we think needs to be improved & what we scored!!  Spoiler alert: Pub Lunch & making a day of it with great friends, is always the overall highlight!!  Then Trent does an awesome Toyline Retrospective on the early 80's franchise that was: Blackstar!  With a Filmation Cartoon airing first in 1981; then a corresponding Toyline from Galoob in 1983!  Featuring the fight between our Hero: John Blackstar against the Evil Ruler: Overlord on the Planet Sagar.  This Toyline & franchise actually has more ties to Masters Of The Universe than one may think....  There are some EPIC Beasts, questionable modes of transport & the incredibly sort after Ice Castle Playset - this Franchise really tried hard & its interesting to think in a sliding doors parallel reality - could this have been a more popular franchise than Masters Of The Universe?!  Then rounding out the episode, we squeeze a quick round table, around some of our Latest Scores!

Also, as mentioned in this ep; be sure to checkout the incredibly comprehensive website from Avon Fox - around all the Vintage style Transforming Robots that aren't Hasbro branded!  - www.the-liberator.net
