Hey everyone- this is our 10th episode! We made it out of the single digits and we are feeling great. For a little toy news, we talk about Hasbro’s new line of 6″ G.I. Joe figures and how we are feeling about them now that they are out in the wild. We also talk about the issues with the exclusive preorder for Cobra Commander that didn’t go so well.

This show is really special because we finally go in depth about Noah’s toy making. He has been producing small-batch toys under the name Grim Dork Toys for a couple of years now and we share his journey into resin toy making as well as what he has his sights set on for the future. Links to his website and Instagram are below. Be sure to show him so love.

We also talk about some of our favorite designer toy makers and hope that you get a chance to look into their art. A lot of work goes into their creation and there is something for everyone in the art toy world. Instagram links to the artists we discuss are below so you can see their art and follow them.

Next, we read a press release from CMON games announcing that they are working on a Masters of the Universe board game. This was too perfect to pass up talking about it and of course, we have different things to say about it. Since there is a lack of details on the game, we get to form opinions without facts which is fun!

Lastly, we talk about a promotion where you can get a couple really cool stickers from us just by going to Apple Podcasts, giving us a 5 star review and a couple of sentences saying you like the show, and then emailing us at mail@playwithitpodcast.com giving us the handle you used to write the review and your address to get the stickers! A pure win win fun us all. Check out or Instagram for pictures of these sweet custom stickers- one is sparkly!

Thank you all for the lovely support and don’t forget to PLAY WITH IT
