Konnichiwa! We’re still on a Japanese theme this month, as our special guest interviewee is Andy Takara, joining Spoons to talk Oriental collectibles, Celebration, and of course his passion for all things keshi.

We start the show with a look forward to Celebration LA in 2027, and what we might expect.

Moving swiftly on, the intro section sees the lads discuss their latest pick-ups, defend their selections in Action Playset Face-Off, and get quizzical with Spoons.

The New Acquisitions feature has an international flavour as we sample new finds from Mexico, Poland, Spain, Germany and … err … Brentford.

In Rebel Briefings, Andy P interviews Mark Harewood who tells of a close encounter with a Sith Lord in a Belfast toy shop. The team goes on to discuss conventions past and future, and Chris Fawcett coins it in. There’s news of discoveries in the diecast and baggie sectors, a look at old and new home made toys, and an update on the impending Palitoy publication.

Licensee this month is British company Chad Valley. A short section surely, as they only released one item - or did they? All this and more in a packed 6-hour show, look out for the podcast in the usual places.
