“Get the heck out of the way and let really talented, great people do great work, and be there and support them. The satisfaction is just off the charts.”Doug Bowser is the retired President & CEO of Nintendo of America, and current Board Member of Hasbro. Doug is a sales and marketing executive whose nearly four-decade career runs from consumer goods to video games, having led Nintendo of America through a decade of historic growth. Doug led operations across the Americas from 2019 through the end of 2025. During his tenure, Nintendo grew on the strength of the Nintendo Switch — one of the best-selling video game platforms of all time — and he oversaw the launch of Nintendo Switch 2, which became the best-selling console of all time in its initial sales period. Doug also expanded Nintendo's licensed merchandise business, opened the company's San Francisco flagship store, and led its re-entry into the Brazilian market. Prior to joining Nintendo, Doug spent 8 years at Electronic Arts, most recently as Vice President of Global Business Planning, and before that, he spent 23 years at Procter & Gamble in sales leadership roles across Asia, Latin America, and the United States. Doug earned his degree in Communications from the University of Utah — where he later returned as Distinguished Alumnus and commencement speaker, and where, playing endless hours of Donkey Kong, he first fell for video games. Today he serves as an Independent Director on the board of Hasbro.This conversation is hosted by podcast co-founder and P&G Alum Drew Tarvin, Founder & CEO of Humor That Works. Drew spent six years at P&G leading IT + brand initiatives before turning his background in engineering, improv, and stand-up comedy into a career helping organizations use humor to improve leadership, communication, and workplace culture. He's the author of Humor That Works and his TEDx talk has been viewed more than 16 million times.
Amy bought Glen Powell's ketchup on a whim at the store and there’s so much more to this then we realized. We get into his wild journey from a childhood ketchup trauma to co-founding his own organic condiment brand, Smash Kitchen. Kat unpacks family systems for us and the different roles people tend to fall into growing up, the Hero, the Mascot, the Lost Child, the Placater, and the Scapegoat, and talk through why the "truth teller" of the family so often ends up labeled as the problem. We also talk about a psychological trick called the Benjamin Franklin Effect, the surprising reason people actually like you more when you ask them for a small favor, not the other way around. Plus, we share an incredibly touching story from a Hasbro Moment listener whose autistic son found connection and confidence through simple board games like Hi Ho! Cherry-O and Hungry Hungry Hippos, thanks to a teacher who knew exactly what he needed. Hasbro is sponsoring Feeling Things for 8 weeks, celebrating back to school by getting families around the table with games again. Even better: they're helping us honor amazing teachers! Know one?

Five years ago, producer & host George Sirois released a five-part miniseries on this show, celebrating the 35th anniversary of TransFormers: The Movie. This week on Excelsior Journeys: The Road to Creativity, George has re-launched the fifth and final part of the miniseries to celebrate the 40th anniversary and upcoming re-release of the film. "'Til All Are One" features Mark Maher and Evan Brooks, two designers so inspired by the 1986 film that they would grow up to work on some of the most intricate and detailed figures in the entire TransFormers toy line: Hasbro's Studio Series.PRODUCER'S NOTE: In addition to a very spirited and fun conversation with Mark and Evan, there are some final thoughts about the film from music composer Vince DiCola, story consultant Flint Dille, and screenwriter Ron Friedman (RIP Ron). It has been a true joy revisiting these conversations, and I hope you had as much listening to them as I did. We're going to take one week off, and then we'll be back the day after Labor Day with a very special Season 13 premiere of Excelsior Journeys: The Road to Creativity, which was recorded in front of a live audience for the very first time and features three different guests.Excelsior Journeys: The Road to Creativity exists primarily as a platform for creatives of all kinds (authors, filmmakers, stand-up comics, musicians, voice artists, painters, podcasters, etc) to share their journeys to personal success. It is very important to celebrate those voices as much as possible to not only provide encouragement to up-and-coming talent, but to say thank you to the established men & women for inspiring the current generation of artists.If you agree that the Excelsior Journeys podcast serves a positive purpose and would like to show your appreciation, you can give back to the show by clicking HERE.Excelsior Journeys: The Road to Creativity is now a proud member of the Podmatch Podcast Network, and you can access all shows in the network by clicking HERE.
Amy’s gushing about a book that might be the best read of the year, no spoilers, just pure obsession. Then we dig into some research-backed data on family dinners and why something as simple as eating together regularly can lower kids' aggression, reduce disordered eating, and even boost grades and self-esteem. We also get into a genuinely useful parenting hack for avoiding yes/no questions that invite pushback (and yes, we tested if it works on spouses too), plus Quiet Hours at Sephora, a sensory-friendly shopping option way more people than you'd expect could benefit from. And we share an incredibly moving email from a listener nominating her local teacher, whose classroom was damaged in recent flooding but who's kept showing up for her students anyway. We're kicking off something special with Hasbro over the next several weeks to help honor her and teachers like her. Hasbro is sponsoring Feeling Things for 8 weeks, celebrating back to school by getting families around the table with games again. Even better: they're helping us honor amazing teachers! Know one?

The Energon Universe isn't slowing down. At San Diego Comic-Con 2026, The Comic Source went inside the Skybound press room for an extended conversation with Robert Kirkman, Void Rivals artist Conor Hughes and Skybound publisher Sean Mackiewicz about the past, present and future of the interconnected universe. Kirkman discusses rebuilding ROM for a new continuity, including the research he did into the character's Marvel history and why he worried ROM's damaged appearance could be interpreted the wrong way. Hughes explains why that damage represents sacrifice and "scars of war," while Mackiewicz details how ROM and M.A.S.K. became part of Skybound's larger Energon plans. The conversations also reveal that Matt Trakker was included in Skybound's original pitch to Hasbro and was once intended to appear in Duke before Clutch ultimately filled that role. Mackiewicz and Kirkman both tease major developments beginning in M.A.S.K. #3, while Kirkman discusses the Energon Universe animated project currently in development and his hope that the comics may eventually reach their own version of the story represented by 1986's The Transformers: The Movie. And when asked whether there's a limit to how far the Energon Universe can expand, Mackiewicz's answer is simple: "no limits." 00:00 – Kirkman Teases the Energon Universe's Transformers: The Movie 00:12 – Sean Mackiewicz on M.A.S.K., ROM & Expanding Energon 02:40 – How ROM & M.A.S.K. Fit Into the Energon Universe 05:20 – Why Skybound's Comics Are Connecting With Readers 07:20 – G.I. Joe, Lara Croft & Expanding Beyond Nostalgia 11:25 – Finding New Creators & Building Skybound's Future 12:15 – Matt Trakker Was Originally Going to Be in Duke 13:25 – M.A.S.K. #3 Has a Surprising Energon Connection 14:35 – Does the Energon Universe Have Any Limits? 15:20 – Robert Kirkman & Conor Hughes Reinvent ROM 19:15 – Kirkman Went to "ROM School" 21:20 – Building ROM & Void Rivals Together 23:40 – M.A.S.K. Was in the Original Energon Universe Pitch 25:45 – Kirkman Takes Over Transformers 27:55 – The Energon Universe Animated Series 29:20 – Could Energon Reach Its Own Transformers: The Movie?
One thing I forgot to do as we were pressed for time was to ask all the hosts what their favorite reveal was from the show. I'll keep mine to the four franchises as I usually do, but hopefully we can squeeze that in too on the next show. For Masters, as much as I love build-a-figures and vintage toy artwork homages, it does seem like more of the same. Their Chronicles Clawful is what really caught my eye. All I thought I wanted from Star Wars was a Rotta the Hutt in either Black Series or Vintage Collection. Well, I got both and hate the execution on both. So, even though I won't buy it, my favorite Star Wars thing was the vintage decoed X-Wing. What's funny is my favorite Transformer is something we didn't even talk about. It was hidden in the official pics. Besides the Icons Decepticon symbol Megatron, everything else was pretty lackluster. Even more disappointing was G.I. Joe. I get it, they blow their load with Yo Joe June. Besides some name reveals, we really only got what is looking to be a disappointing Thundermachine.
In a surprise announcement, the long "on-the-shelf" Star Wars animated comedy from George Lucas, Seth Green and company will be screening at the soon-to-open Lucas Museum in LA. We listen to Seth Green's announcement at San Diego Comic Con and discuss what the show is all about. In other SDCC news, Kevin Feige gets us pumped up about next year's Star Wars: Starfighter by revealing he's already seen it, but we are confused by the total lack of publicly available images and coverage. And we share our disappointment with Hasbro for some of their lackluster SDCC announcements and criticize them for sad offerings going back to Solo: A Star Wars Story. Star Wars fans are still talking about The Mandalorian and Grogu and our voicemail inbox has some listener thoughts about Rotta the Hutt. In our "Outrageous Unthinkable Story of the Week", a former Star Wars actor breaks bad on his role in the prequels and we try to determine why he's trash talking. Plus, we return to the RFR Sound Lab, we look forward to this week's Rebel Scum Con, and more!

This Week on the Toy Power Podcast; even though we are Celebrating our 10th Year of Podcasting; we unfortunately exhausted all our energy on the Previous SDCC Reveals & Announcements Ep. So we are giving you a ReIssue episode instead from the Vault. (Originally Posted as Ep #143 - from October 2019). Original blurb: It’s a very special ep as we’re joined by not one, but two of favourite guests in Davey Damaged and Scotty so that’s right – it’s a Homer episode! Trent takes us through a vintage retrospective look at The Addams family by Playmates. Perfectly timed for Halloween, we wonder what could have been with this short-lived line and look to the future of the franchise as a new movie approaches. What characters didn’t get made, which ones make the camera glow and where does MC Hammer fit into it all? We make the jump to Show and Tell as Davey tries to trump us all with a purchase so large, we doubt it will actually fit in his toy room! There’s some DC, MOTU and even Final Fantasy options to choose from. Frank gives a lovely tribute showing that sometimes, the value of a toy; lays in more than its sticker price. Then it’s Quiz time and with Davey onboard, anything is possible. To say this episode goes off the rails is putting it mildly – but on the plus side we learnt that Trent can’t hold his liquor, Ben thinks photos record sound, Space Jam was an event and Rick Moranis is Trent’s muse. So hold on for this crazy ride that also serves as a farewell for one of the team…Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sebastian Shaw is DEAD! Who did it? Let's review X-Men Hellfire Mystery!
Join me for an incredible extra-long conversation with one of the toy industry's most accomplished designers, Stefanie Eskander, whose remarkable career has spanned more than 45 years.Beginning as a children's illustrator before transitioning into toy design, Stefanie has worked for some of the biggest names in the business, including Mattel, Hasbro, Tonka, Fisher-Price, Play Along Toys, and Small World Toys. Her creative fingerprints can be found on some of the most beloved toys and dolls of the last four decades, including Moonglow (Rainbow Brite), Popples, Jem and the Holograms, Sweetie Pops, Maxie, MoonDreamers, Tonka Trucks, Cabbage Patch Kids, Skydancers, and so much more.Stefanie also takes us behind the scenes of one of the most fascinating eras in toy history—working at Hasbro during the legendary Jem and the Holograms vs. Barbie and the Rockers rivalry. We discuss what it was really like designing toys at major companies, juggling multiple product lines in different stages of development, and navigating the creative and corporate challenges that come with bringing iconic toys to life.We also dive into why toy and doll designers so rarely receive public recognition, the strict confidentiality surrounding unreleased projects, and the reality that many toys can spend months—or even years—in development before never making it to store shelves. Finally, we explore how the toy industry has evolved over the decades and what it's really like to build a career creating the toys that shaped generations.This is a fascinating conversation filled with incredible stories, behind-the-scenes history, and insights you won't hear anywhere else. Whether you're a lifelong collector, toy enthusiast, or simply curious about how your favorite childhood toys came to life, this is an episode you won't want to miss.This episode also marks the finale of this year's Summer Session! Thank you so much for spending your summer with me and all of my incredible guests. The Iconic Dollcast will return this fall with an all-new lineup of episodes, interviews, and deep dives into the world of dolls, toys, and pop culture. I can't wait to share what's next—see you this fall!Follow me on Instagram: @britneyspearscustomdolls or @iconicdollcast or on YOUTUBE

Flinkman and Dayspring discuss SDCC 2026 Marvel Legends reveals!
Tons of fun stuff leading up to the con this year. Definitely my favorite was the ReAction+ Python Patrol Trubble Bubble. While something I've eliminated from my collecting as of late, Seekers, I would have killed back in the day for an official set of Rainmakers in a current mold. While I really wish it had the wash that the Chronicles version got, the Origins Skeletor still looks amazing. I'm a big sucker for concept stuff, so for Star Wars I gotta rep the Jazwares Micro Galaxy Squadron Concept Slave 1 (not Boba Fett's Starship).
Hasbro's Q2 numbers are up, but Transformers didn't make the highlight reel — and Starscream can't catch a break at Target. Plus: a Decepticon Monster Jam truck, a Grimlock none of us can afford, and Brian's new pinball machine obsession.
