Its the 100th episode!! We are joined by Retroblasting, Analog Toys and Bobby Vala! Plus Action Force, G.I. Joe news, Marvel Legends news and more!!!

For decades now, the independent toymaker has been eclipsed by corporate toy marketers in a position to fund defense-department-sized ad budgets across print, radio, TV, and, today, the internet bannerscape. In this episode, we have a conversation with thoroughly modern indie toymaker Bobby Vala, giving us hope that this hopelessly stacked landscape is shifting, finally, as savvy small operators find ways to harness the power of story to hook and retain players, and to build authentic grassroots fan engagement, through the leveling effects of social media and the internet more generally, as a two-way communications channel. This is surely good news for players everywhere, from the smallest child to the youngest-at-heart “kidult.”

What better way is there to look back at the 2010s (aka The WOJM Decade) than with our tribute to the running jokes that have fueled our discussions since 2011?  It was impossible to catch everything, but hopefully your favorites will show up somewhere in this well-placed tribute to the most overbearing running joke in the English language, the number 69.  Mike, Joe, and an ironically-debuting Wristlock Wes Whitlock invite you to enjoy the end of the WOJM Decade with a complete lack of class but good intentions and lots of love!  We'll catch you again in 2020... the start of The WOJM Decade Part II: Electric Boogaloo! Special thanks to the talent heard on this episode: Erik Arana, Chuck Averitt, Justin Bell, Michael Bell, Jared Bunnell, Jon M. Chu, Joe Colton, Brian Cummings, Sara Detrick, Ryan Drost, Chuck Emanuele, Shannon Gallant, Gary Godsoe, George Greenoe, Larry Hama, Gary Head, Zack Hoffman, Eddie Inman, Mike Irizarry, Rob Irizarry, Jamie Johnson, James Kavanaugh, Carson Mataxis, Chris McLeod, Kate McLeod, Craig Moore, Johnny Pottorf, Bill Ratner, Kevin Michael Richardson, Neil Ross, Hawk Sanders, Brian Savage, Greg Schueller, David Tree, Brian Tudor, Bobby Vala, Page Wagner, Kevin Watts, and Mark Weber, and a shout out to everyone else who has made making this show so much fun!

Mike and Joe catch an hour with Bobby Vala in advance of the relaunch of his Action Force Kickstarter this Friday, October 18!  Bobby takes the cast through the pledge levels, add-ons, and stretch goals of the project - as well as REVEALING HOW YOU CAN GET THE SPECIAL STEEL BRIGADE OFFICER'S HEAD!  Time is of the essence on that limited exclusive piece, so be sure that you're listening closely!Since Mike (our editor) is traveling to COIL Con this weekend (be sure to stop in and say hello if you're in the Dayton, Ohio, area), the only way to get this episode up before the launch was to take a page out of the old Gary Godsoe Fast & Dirty Playbook... that's right, there was no time for editing this one, so pardon the long pauses and occasional verbal flubs.  (Blame Joe.)
