Geek. Dad. Life’s Toy Geeks – Best Toy Maker of the 90’s

A few weeks ago we had the distinct pleasure of lending our thoughts to Geek. Dad. Life's latest debate on who the best toy maker of the 90's was. Host Jay Glatfelter took on Toy Anxiety's Ryan Doell with moderation from co-host John and Yes Have Some's Craig Goldberg in a no-holds-barred debate between Playmates and Toy Biz. Many opinions were offered from various ToyTubers and we were honored to be asked to toss our thoughts into the ring (spoiler - we went all in for Hasbro).

Exclusive Reveal: Black Series 13th Battalion Trooper

We are delighted to share with fans and collectors an exclusive reveal of the next Gaming Greats Black Series figure! The 13th Battalion Trooper from Jedi: Fallen Order will be joining the 6" line next Spring. This figure will be available for pre-order this St. Patrick's Day, March 17th, at 1 PM EST. Eric Franer, Hasbro's Star Wars Brand Team Product Designer, had this to say about the figure: The 13th Battalion Clone Trooper has a really striking pattern across their chest, and they have a similar color palette to the 212th battalion — but we wanted to make sure the color felt unique. It was so much fun to see the flashbacks to Cal Kestis as a young padawan and interacting with Jaro Tapal’s [...]
