The Reluctant Adult Podcast

Dan Larson, the most professional man in all of toys, invites us to peer into his Secret Galaxy on this all-new episode of The Reluctant Adult Conversation!

Dan breaks down why those AI-generated memes flooding Facebook are harming the artists behind the very media fans claim to cherish. Plus, he shares his take on the future of toy manufacturing, and ponders the mystery of why so many action figures bear an uncanny resemblance to him.

Josh De Vaney is the self-proclaimed Michael Jordan of Michael Jordan Collecting. Josh spent the better part of the last decade amassing a Michael Jordan collection worthy of the NBA legend—including unreleased prototypes of what would have been MJ’s first-ever action figures! Josh traveled to America from his home in Australia to investigate the still-unsolved mystery surrounding the origin of what is possibly the rarest Michael Jordan toy ever (almost) produced. How does Josh hope to preserve his collection and what would he say if he ever met His Airness in-person?

Rob Post and Holly Tanory join us for this week’s Reluctant Adult Conversation. You may know Rob from his other toy line— fan favorite, fantasy-themed Savage Crucible. And you may know Holly from her steadfast Alabama football home game attendance. Together, they are responsible for one of the rising stars of the action figure world; the first super poseable college football action figures. Which institutions of higher learning are next on the Dean’s list for Collegiate Legends? Plus, could see the line expand to include other characters from the college football universe? And, why hasn’t anyone ever tried this before? Admittedly, Paul’s college football knowledge leaves something to be desired, so he tapped into the Morphing Grid to call in a favor from one half of the Bulk and Skull of podcasting, Billy from Zeo to Hero.

Brian Volk-Weiss, founder and CEO of Nacelle Toys, joins us for this week’s Reluctant Adult Conversation. At last month’s New York Comic Con, Brian revealed series one of Nacelle’s Star Trek action figures and fans had some questions. Like, “What is up with those character choices? No Spock? No Kirk? But we’re getting Valkris? In series one?!” We asked Brian to explain himself and you will want to hear what he has to say and what he has planned for future lineups. We also find out how this relatively new toy company already has its own dedicated endcap at Walmart, plus we learn Brian’s true feelings about Kirkstarter. I think you are going to find that part very interesting.
