ANR Geekly 222 - More Reveals? More Pre-orders!

·1 hr 44 min·5 clips

The fights are the selling point, while the character interactions repeat the same beats.

1. A&R Geekly 222 mixes toy reveals, anime reactions, Halloween talk, and TV watching around Alvin and his co-host. 2. Alvin hosts the show, and the returning co-host talks through sore-throat jokes, collector finds, and weekly watch lists. 3. The episode asks what new pre-orders and reveals are worth the money for toy collectors this week. 4. Halloween takes up the opening stretch, including a ghost sandwich joke, candy handouts, and arguments about how many chocolates to give kids. 5. The hosts compare trick-or-treating habits, mention apples and carrots in candy bags, and talk about turning off the porch lights around 8:30. 6. Peacemaker season 2 comes up as a current watch, with one host saying the finale is this week and that the season feels too short. 7. Tulsa King season 3 appears in the same TV segment, with Stallone named directly and the writing described as uneven in places. 8. The anime discussion centers on a series the hosts say depends on the fight scenes more than the dialogue. 9. The hosts describe recurring character types like a Piccolo figure, a Vegeta figure, and a stereotypical female lead. 10. They also complain that some episodes spend too much time on school-dance style setup before the powers and battles matter. 11. The biggest toy moment is the Juggernaut unboxing, with the hosts reacting to the weight, size, and shoulder articulation. 12. They compare the Juggernaut to Marvel Select Hulk, Marvel Legends scale, and a bootleg running-pose version. 13. Rhino becomes the measuring stick for size, and the hosts say that figure feels right in the display case. 14. The conversation repeatedly returns to Colossus as the figure they need to test against Juggernaut. 15. Peter B. Parker and Mayday get a separate mention as a figure purchase the host did not plan to make but bought at EB Games in Langley. 16. Red Tornado, Man-Bat, Batgirl, Blackfire, and Red Hood come up during a McFarlane recap and a price discussion. 17. The tone is loose, fast, and conversational, with frequent interruptions to check shelves, open boxes, and compare figures on camera. 18. The format shifts between live toy photography browsing, on-camera unboxings, and short commentary on current shows. 19. Collectors who follow Marvel Legends, McFarlane, and anime figures will get the most out of it. 20. Listeners wanting tightly edited TV criticism or a single focused topic may skip it.

As heard by us

A brisk, collector-focused check-in built around price talk, soft-goods debate, and preorder skepticism.

ANR Geekly 222 reads as a collector-first conversation about reveals, preorder choices, price points, soft goods, and the question of whether a figure earns its asking price.
