Episode 66 - The Ally We Deserve

We promised (albeit accidentally) 33 episodes ago that Episode 66 was going to be special and one to look forward to, and I’m happy to report that we lived up to the hype! While it might have been a slow news week, this week’s show is full of goodness. One might say our cup is overflowing, thanks to a newfound Ally in our dedication to the toys-to-life genre. We welcome to the show, for the first time officially, Brandon Jones, Editor-in-Chief of Easy Allies!

Brandon chats about the formation of Easy Allies, how he fell in love with Disney Infinity originally, the current state of the toys-to-life genre, and much more regarding all things in this genre we love. We also talk about the trials and tribulations of collecting in general, good Disneyland food, and yes, even … SHOPKINS!

After we let Brandon go enjoy the rest of his evening, we get down to serious business with news in the toys-to-life franchises. We discuss the release of the Kylo Ren Light FX figure, breaking Skylanders news, more LEGO Dimensions rumor confirmation, and possible amiibo support in the upcoming “NX” Nintendo console via a new patent.

We also examine the #CommunityQuestion - WITH AN EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT - and answer a bunch of great emails, as always, from the Best Community Ever. All this and more on Episode 66 of the Toys For Games ‘Cast!
