Many of us played with plastic "guys" when we were kids. Specifically action figures from our favorite cartoons and movies. This episode is all about the phenomenon of modern day companies like NECA, Super7, Storm Collectibles, Boss Fight Studios and others who are putting out insanely high quality figures of these same properties we loved as kids!

Each host picked 2 lines of these TOYS OUTTA TIME to spotlight. Expect stuff like TMNT, Bucky O'Hare, Silverhawks, Battletoads, Herculoids, He-Man and more! Along for the ride we have a dear friend, Andy Zamon who, aside from being one of the most prolific figure collectors we know, is also the artist behind Z-3D Forge, which is THE place to go for your custom figure bases!

With two decades’ experience in video games, Richard Dansky has contributed to over 40 AAA titles in iconic franchises like Ghost Recon, Assassins Creed, Might & Magic, Splinter Cell, Far Cry, Hunt: Showdown and Rainbow Six. For this final BRIG of season 6, we'll hear all about his incredible career—how he started writing for Vampire: The Masquerade for White Wolf Entertainment and eventually ended up becoming the Narrative Director for the popular Tom Clancy brand of games... and even how he found the time to write 8 novels along the way!!

As if that isn't not cool enough, helping out as co-host, we got our friend and Tom Clancy super-fan, Aldo Araujo! He'll be asking the hard hitting video game questions before we swing things around to Richard's books and a reading of his humorous Christmas horror story, "Kicking Santa's Ass"!

Hey gang! It's time to pay tribute to one of the greatest cartoons of all time, so pack some Scooby Snacks, check your flashlight batteries and hop in the Mystery Machine, because this is our tribute to Scooby Doo!

For our penultimate episode of Season 6, Justin Cooper leads us through abandoned amusement parks, haunted mansions and old defunct coal mines, in search of ghouls, ghosts and other phoney baloney creeps that we guarantee with turn out to be dudes in masks. Also, wires and holograms are probably involved.

For part one, we each pick an episode from the original SCOOBY DOO WHERE ARE YOU! (1969). Then, after a monster-filled Octoponder, we'll finish things off in the second half by each spotlighting a different Scooby show that we personally dig.

Like, jinkies! It's gonna be wild, man!

Another insane season of Retro Ridoctopus comes to a close. We had a new co-host, more interviews than ever and a triceratops-sized barrel of nostalgic fun!

After copious amounts of reminiscing over another amazing year, we dive into our annual final topic. Like every year, we asked you for voice mails, giving your quick reviews of a classic movie you watched for the first time this year. Every single year, this block gets longer and longer and season 6 was no exception. Thank you for coming out in droves to be a part of the show and for helping to make Retro Ridoctopus what it is.

You, Retroids... deserve all the SHUBIBINS!!!
