Marsham Toy Hour

This week, we've got a lot on the menu as Sket One joins Gary and Theresa to discuss his 14 years designing for toys. We cover a variety of topics including: Sket's early days in toys, the different stages of the industry he's experienced, multi-casting from a platform, IP conflicts, reverse licensing, quality of self produced resin versus production vinyl, and much more.

This week, Nick Aliota, a Funatic and designer toy collector joins Gary and Theresa for a yet another Collector's Edition. We discuss the difference in communities, tuning out the negative side of collecting, procuring older toys, DCon expectations, the power of hype and the panic of spontaneous drops, reselling, competing with bots for purchases, lotteries, more box talk, and so much more. This episode is packed!

This week, we finally wrangled Ben Goretsky back to the show to get the latest scoop on Designer Con and boy was it worth the wait! Did he say more than tripled in size? Pavillions? Medicom? Funko? This is an episode you won't want to miss!

This week, the super talented Seriously Silly K joins Gary in a ping pong discussion of fun. We talked toys, sculpting tips and tricks, projects, culture differences, wood working, twinning and much more. Silly also comes prepared with questions for both Gary and the listeners.
