It’s time to settle the score, test the toy knowledge, and determine who truly deserves the most prestigious title in Cracktastic Plastic history… at least for this week.
In Nerdiest Nerd Showdown, Jason steps behind the quizmaster podium and pits Elgn against Mike in a head-to-head battle of toy trivia, useless knowledge, questionable memories, and plastic-powered brainpower.
Who knows their action figures? Who can dig deepest into the dusty corners of toy history? And who will completely embarrass themselves over something they absolutely should have known?
Bragging rights are on the line as two nerds enter, one nerd leaves slightly nerdier.
Let the showdown begin!
We also spotlight Dhampire Toys & Collectibles in our Store Tour segment and discuss whether it’s a shop everyone should visit someday.

Cracktastic Plastic 196: A-Z Toy Challenge + Vintage Toy World - Toy Podcast
It’s time to put our collections—and our alphabet skills—to the test!
In the A-Z Toy Challenge, Elgn, Mike, and Jason take turns working their way through the alphabet, each pulling out a toy or character whose name starts with the next letter. A, B, C… all the way to Z!
Sounds easy, right? Sure… until somebody gets stuck with Q, X, or Z.
Expect deep cuts, weird picks, childhood favorites, questionable loopholes, and plenty of plastic-powered panic as we see if we can make it through all 26 letters without completely losing our ABCs.
Twenty-six letters. Three collectors. One toy-filled challenge. Let’s see what we’ve got!

Click, click, click... let the ruckus begin!
This week on Cracktastic Plastic, we’re cranking things up with Ratchet Joint Ruckus! We’re digging into our collections to show off toys with those wonderfully satisfying ratcheting joints — the kind that click into place, hold a pose, and make every adjustment feel just a little more mechanical.
From hefty heroes and robotic relics to figures with joints built to survive some serious shelf posing, we’re celebrating the clicks, clacks, and chunky articulation that make these toys so much fun to mess with.
So grab your favorite figure, give those joints a good crank, and join us for a whole lot of ratcheting, reminiscing, and ridiculousness!
