Episode 36 features Josh and Jason once again, but just like last week, another special guest is crashing the party! This week, the dynamic duo of the toys-to-life genre is honored to be joined than none other than Brian Altano from IGN.com and The Comedy Button! As someone who has been leading the charge on the amiibo hype train since the beginning, Brian comes on to the show to talk about how and why he started collecting them, why he swears he’s just about done with them, and which amiibo he absolutely hates the most. Not to focus too much on just amiibo, they also ask him about Disney Infinity, Skylanders and possibly sell him on LEGO Dimensions. Oh, and don’t worry - Shopkins is discussed at much more length than anyone anticipated going into the podcast.
