The CBC boys have survived another week in lockdown and are back fighting off boredom with a stick as they talk toys, figures, collectibles and more on another mint-on-card episode of the Cardback Cafe Podcast.

Episode 34 kicks off with a slight return to one of our favs, of course we are talking The Three Ps has a global pandemic couldn't keep the guys from opening their wallets and shelf space for too long after all.

Then we jump into the news as company's were showing off a lot of stuff we've seen before with new promo pics to get us all to click PURCHASE. It was a Masters of the Universe double-bill as Mondo showed up their new Man at Arms figure with a tease for future releases as well as Mattel posting up official pictures of Wave 3 of their Masters of the WWE line (and a leaked rundown of wave 4).

A few figures are starting to hit shelves now including NECA's Rhino Alien which looks jaw dropping as well as the often delayed MAFEX Cyclops which looks to have made a near perfect jump from prototype to production.

A few new reveals to touch upon as well as Mysterio gets an animated style repaint for all you 90s kids (like us!) and Diamond Select reveals their Last Airbender Wave 2.

Then we get talking Kickstarter as perhaps the biggest news has to be the newly launched Spawn action figure Kickstarter from Todd McFarlane which has blown the roof off of action figure Kickstarters. We'll take a closer look at what is on offer and also take a look back at some successful figure crowd funding campaigns and ones that you can still get involved with.

We're kick starting your week with toys news, previews, coverage and more here at the Cardback Cafe. Sit back, grab a cup o joe and relax to the sooth sounds of toy jazz.
