You only get one first impression - and that's why Chris' job is so important when it comes to making toys. The packaging is the product before the product, and Chris has spent decades working on some of the most recognizable toy packaging ever; from ToyBiz Marvel and WCW figures, to Hasbro's Incredible Hulk and now all of the incredible AEW and Ring of Honor figures at Jazwares. Chris returns to the show to talk more about his latest innovations and some parts of his past in this action-packed episode.

If there's one thing we love more than toys, it's movies and sports... and THEME PARKS. It's been a long time since Dave and Erik went to Disney World together, and over 6 years since Erik has been there at all! In this episode, they unpack their trip, talk about the rides, attractions, and experiences, and talk all about that sweet sweet merch... and mostly Galaxy's Edge!
