Welcome back to Toy Federation! In this episode, Ryan, Travis, and Andy dive deep into the fascinating world of iconic toy packaging, box art, and card art from the 1980s to 2020s. Discover toys with some of the most exciting packaging like He-Man's Castle Grayskull and the G.I. Joe Electric Train and Battle Set from Tyco, and lesser enjoyable toys worth buying for the cool box art alone. The conversation covers the evolution of appreciating toy art from childhood to adulthood, the allure of original production art for lines such as Star Wars and unreleased Robocop figures, and the charm of goofy superhero vehicles like the Justice Jogger (Superman's ride) or the Spider-Buggy. The team also explores the wild world of off-brand collectibles featuring characters like Spider-Man and Hulk on unexpected rides, and shares humorous insights into absurd names for Gobot characters and bootleg toys. Tune in for a nostalgic journey through toy history, discussions on licensing challenges in modern production compared to the past, and cautionary tales about autograph scams, offering a comprehensive look at what makes toy collecting truly special.#toys #toycollector #toystore WATCH and SUBSCRIBE to Our Other Channels and Socials!*Main YouTube Channel: youtube.com/@toyfederation*Toy Federation Facebook: facebook.com/ToyFederationShop*Toy Federation Instagram: instagram.com/ToyFederationShop/BUY TICKETS for our UPCOMING TOY FEDERATION CONVENTIONS!*Our Horror Convention September 5-7, 2025: Retro-Horrorcon.com*Our Toy Convention November 21-23, 2025: Retro-Toycon.comTOY FEDERATION PODCAST ALSO AVAILABLE AT:*Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/mwuw3mtv*Apple Podcast: https://tinyurl.com/3pnbsyzf*Amazon Music: https://tinyurl.com/2bxsvccjWATCH EVERY EPISODE of the Toy Federation Podcast in one convenient PLAYLIST!https://tinyurl.com/3ds8yr36BUY Toy Federation MERCH!http://www.teepublic.com/user/toy-federationCOME OUT and VISIT OUR SHOP in Person! 104 Middleton Way, Greer, SC 29650Monday 10 AM–7 PMTuesday 10 AM–7 PMWednesday 10 AM–7 PMThursday 10 AM–7 PMFriday 10 AM–7 PMSaturday 10 AM–8 PMSunday Closed
