If you were fortunate enough to grow up in the decade of the 1980s, then chances are you have fond memories walking up and down the isles of iconic toy stories, places KB Toys, Toys are Us, FAO Swartz. Their shelves were lined with toys that defined the years of our youth – Cabbage Patch Kids, Transformers, GI Joe, Tickle Me Elmo, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. In the weeks after the Christmas Shopping Season, it’s easy to reminisce about days past of wish lists and letters to Santa. What you may not realize is the connection of many of these childhood toys to one single man, not named Santa Claus. His impact and presence in our lives is as indisputable as it is unrecognized. Today we open a new chapter to the profile of an individual who played a key role in all of our childhoods and whose creative mind paved the way for toys invented well beyond his passing. Happy New Year everyone! It’s the Missing Chapter Podcast.
