Hey all- Time for another heaping helping of Action Features' goodness! And just what do Mike & James have in store for you with this installment? Well, it just so happens that this is another one of those "randomness" episodes... So if your ears like hearing about things like Toy Guru leaving Mattel, whether or not Breaking Bad toys have a place at Toys R Us, the ridiculous amount of upcoming comic films, and just how TLC should handle this Honey Boo Boo situation, then this is the episode for you! Get plugged in. Time for Action Features.

The shortest episode ever, and yet quite possibly the best episode ever. Prepare for excitement as the Action Features boys bring you the first installment of the long lost Star Worlds radio drama. Sure, you might have thought the vintage Star World action figure carrying case was just a cheap knockoff of Kenner's Star Wars carrying case... but boy would you be stupid if you thought that. Turns out much more was planned than just a simple vinyl box. Tune in now and thrill to the adventures of Luke Starworld and his merry band of rebels as they fight the oppressive World Breaker and his battle battalion. Go now... Time for Action Features, time for a Star World.

Hey it's another free-for-all episode! And just what do the Action Features boys talk about this time around? Oh, you know. The usual stuff: Episode 7 news, guns on the Batmobile, Matty Collector's latest mess-up, and buying too many toys on sale. Exactly the kind of topics you'd expect from those two hosers. So get plugged in... Time for Action Features.

What up folks... Time for something new from the Action Features boys: Fan Commentary! That's right... In this episode, the boys sit down to watch one of their favorite films, all the while jabbering on about what it means to them, fawning over favorite scenes, and revealing info that you might not be aware of. And what film gets the first AF Fan Commentary treatment you ask? Well, with a new TMNT flick in theaters now, Mike & James figured this was the perfect time to take another look at the film that started the Mutant Movie craze- The Original 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Film! So pop your DVD in the player and prepare to get shell-shocked... Time for some Action Features.

Hey party people... Action Features is here! Yeah, they missed last week due to some technical difficulties, but this episode definitely makes up for it. How you ask? Well, the boys start it off by sharing their thoughts on the goings-on over at SDCC- Ya know, things like toys, movies, comics, and the like. They then follow it up with a lengthy discussion on that forgotten sitcom gem of the 80's: Night Dads. Don't remember Night Dads? Oh, then this episode is definitely for you. All that AND a letter from the number one fan of Action Features... What are you waiting for? Time for the show...

Yo peeps. Miss us? Well, you should have because we were gone longer than usual. There was a good excuse this time though- James' wife had a baby... So back off why don't ya? Geez. Anyways... In this installment, the boys spend half the episode catching up on current events like the 25th anniversary of Batman '89, the proper use of the word "weary", and Blaze's birthday wants. The latter half of the episode features one of their trademark top five lists: The Top 5 Current Mass-Market Toy Lines! So get plugged in... Time for Action Features.

Time for another free-for-all episode of Action Features! Bet you guys love those. In this installment, James & Mike cover a veritable potpourri of topics- The Legends of Cthulhu Kickstarter campaign from Warpo Toys, Mattel's Baby Skeletor, why comics aren't for kids anymore, Harrison Ford's injured ankle, and Mark Hamill's dreamy Jedi eyes. Oh yeah... They also have a lengthy discussion on all the films James' wife Bobbi hasn't seen (I guess she is more of a reader). All that AND a special call-in guest at the end! What more could you want! Nothing, that's what. So get to it... time for Action Features.

Hey all! After a week off, the boys are back with a brand new episode! What does this one have going for it? Glad you asked. This time around, James & Mike give their thoughts on things like Mattel reversing parts on toys (again), the upcoming films "Jurassic World" & "Batman V. Superman", and the tastiness (or not so tastiness) of Cheez-it Grooves. They then wrap things up with a Top Five List of cartoons that should have had their own toylines. Got all that? Good... Time for Action Features.

Listen up J.J. Abrams, because those Action Features boys just made your job a whole lot easier. In Episode 60 of the show, James & Mike spill the galactic beans on what they do and do not want to see in the upcoming Star Worlds Sequel Trilogy. Should the Rebellion be in control of the galaxy? Does it ever make sense to do a CGI character? How many lightsabers should one character carry? All these answers and more await... Oh- And there are also little appetizer rants on superhero film expectations and the latest Matty mess-up. How's that for service. So dive on in... time for Action Features.
