I love that all my favorite things this time around are relatively new lines. The oldest one is Droid Factory. Some may consider it a close relative of the Vintage line, but their Disneyland 70th Anniversary Astromech is a great tribute. While Origins has been around a while, I'm happy to hear a new 200x subline is coming. Blokees is just killing it in their few short years. Their new Action-scale Soundwave looks amazing. Finally, not a toy line, but something new I'm trying to stay positive about, unlike my co-hosts, is the new AAA Snake Eyes game.

Tonka needed something to get them out of a $10,000,000 hole. The needed to transform their situation. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Simple is a marketing consultant, story collector and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So, here's one of those. [Pinpoint Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast, Dave Young here, along with Stephen Semple, and we're talking about empires. And the one you gave me now is I have to admit, I am familiar with the brand, but I'm not an active participant in the brand. I think I've mentioned on here before, I raised four daughters, and so today's topic is Transformers. And none of my daughters were ever into Transformers as a toy. I was beyond toys when Transformers, I think first came around. So I've never even really jumped into the movies. But big, big brand. Stephen Semple: Huge brand. Dave Young: Tell me how they got started. Stephen Semple: Well, and the interesting thing, I almost included my oldest daughter, Crystal, in the recording of this, and I decided that, no, we might do a follow-up episode with her because she is a massive Transformers fan. Dave Young: Wow. Okay. Stephen Semple: And the interesting thing is she never played with them as a kid, but she found herself into the fandom. And today there's a whole thing I want to do about fandoms because it really speaks to the role that social media plays with a lot of companies. Dave Young: I feel like as a kid, I would've loved them. Stephen Semple: Because there's this unbelievably rich storyline behind Transformers that is incredible. And then it's actually one that is fragmented into the Michael Bay Transformers storyline versus the historic ones, because Michael Bay is the one who made the movies. It's this crazy world when you dig into it. But, the story of Transformers is actually a story of a battle between two decent-sized companies. So it's not normally what we do, but it was so interesting, I thought we got to talk about this because it's a story about a battle between Tonka and Hasbro. Dave Young: Oh, man. Just like Wonka and the other guy. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Exactly. Yeah, yeah. Today the Transformers franchise, I think is a $25 billion franchise between the movies and the toys. It is massive. And the story goes back to we're in July of 1983, and Tonka is struggling for a new hit. Tonka is being run by Steve Shank, and they're like $10 million in the hole, and they're known for trucks. And think back to the '80s, what's happening, video games are growing and the market is shifting away from things like playing with trucks. And Tonka did not shift with it. So they're really, really struggling. And Shank has hired a Mattel veteran, Pat Fellie. He's the guy who basically helped turn things around at Mattel with He-Man. So he was basically the really a key person with developing of He-Man. And so they need something quick. And the shortcut is to license existing toys because the development and manufacturing is done. It's quicker and cheaper to market. So they go out everywhere looking around for something to market, and they come across this toy that Knickerbocker has. Knickerbocker is going out of business, and it's this interesting toy, which is a car and a robot, but it's a cheap knockoff. The real one is being done in Japan by Bandai, which is making this thing called a Machine Robo. And so Steve Shank heads to Tokyo to get the rights. And Bandai demands, okay, well, we can make this for you, but you got to buy 800,000 units as part of the deal, and Tonka has never sold that much,

Back to the toys of the past, we jumped it before so lets jump back to Beast Machines and talk about the weird lil toy line that feels like a lot of misses.

In this electrifying episode, powered by the soaring instrumentals of the Breadhenge Channel and the iconic energy of Lion's legendary theme song, we journey through the incredible rise of the Transformers toy line in America. From humble beginnings as a rebranded Japanese toy line to a multimedia empire that redefined ‘80s childhood, we explore how robots in disguise became a cultural phenomenon. Discover the pivotal role of Hasbro, the groundbreaking 1984 cartoon, and the evolution of the figures themselves—from die-cast metal to cutting-edge engineering. Strap in for a nostalgic ride through history, soundtracked by themes that hit as hard as a Decepticon ambush.https://open.spotify.com/playlist/09olq4cpNbc6CRgDe5GzkA?si=gZP2HdyvTyGmjiAOjkUeUQ

Before we dive into one of the most creative plush lines I've ever seen, we need to talk about something serious — TARIFFS.In this episode of Making It in The Toy Industry, I'm kicking things off with an urgent update about the current U.S.–China tariff situation and how it could affect your toy business. I'm sharing what I would do right now if I were launching a toy brand from scratch and why diversifying your manufacturing isn't optional anymore, it's essential.Then, I take you inside my exclusive Toy Fair interview with Lisa Doiron, VP of Global Brand Marketing at Basic Fun. Lisa introduced me to ThreadZ, a limited-edition plush line that taps into Gen Alpha's love of individuality and that “get-it-before-it's-gone” energy. ThreadZ is made with excess fabrics, which means each drop is limited-run and totally unique. Designed to feel fashion-forward and one-of-a-kind, this plush line taps perfectly into Gen Alpha's craving for self-expression. It's also a brilliant example of how big brands like Basic Fun can rethink traditional production models in smart, sustainable, and trend-savvy ways.You'll hear why it's time to rethink your manufacturing game, how to make your toy line tariff-proof and flexible, what Gen Alpha really wants, and how you can steal a genius small-batch strategy from a big brand and make it your own.If you're ready to future-proof your toy biz and get inspired by one of the freshest plush concepts on the market, this episode is for you! Hit play now and get inspired by a big-brand strategy you can actually use!Listen for these Important Moments![00:01:16] -  Tariffs are shifting fast—and they could hit your bottom line hard. I'm breaking down what's changing and how to protect your business with smart sourcing moves.[00:04:52] - Think scrap fabric can't make magic? Think again. I'm showing you how leftovers can fuel a unique product line—and even lower your costs.[00:07:16] - Step inside Toy Fair with me as Lisa Doiron reveals ThreadZ, Basic Fun's limited-edition plush line built for Gen Alpha's need for self-expression and FOMO.[00:10:39] - This isn't your average plush.

Send us a textWelcome to you heard it here last where we talk about news, you've already heard.We are starting with a special request from Christinahttps://www.mythicalmeats.com/snacks/dungeons-dragons-variety-pack/She sent me this link along with the following sentence; “I will say I just got a targeted ad for official D&D branded 'adventure snacks' and was overcome by the need to rant at Hasbro.”The Advertisement in question is for Mythical Meats (A bold name) and their “about page” says it all; “Fueled by a passion for jerky and a love for legendary creatures, we at Mythical Meats weren't content with the ordinary. We embarked on a quest, channeling our creative energy to transform exotic meats into the most beloved mythical beasts! From the fearsome Dragon and Yeti to the majestic Pegasus and Mermaid, our creatures cover land, sea, and sky. Each bite of our snack sticks is a delicious adventure, bursting with flavors inspired by our favorite fantastical beings.”For the D&D Branding each class has its own special jerky snack.Christina the floor is yours,[Kick to Christina]Continuing with our hatred of Hasbro we have another story about D&D.https://www.enworld.org/threads/wizards-of-the-coast-says-that-china-tariffs-will-have-minimal-impact-on-d-d.713072/Wizards of the Coast has announced that the ongoing trade issues with China will have minimal impact on Dungeons and Dragons.Now we have avoided discussing the Tariff's and Trade Issues on this show for a couple of reasons. One, avoid politics, it's a show killer and two, it's just too early to know exactly what kind of impacts the tariffs and trade issues will have in the long term.We have seen some smaller companies close recently and I know that many have struggled to figure out future printing options to avoid raising costs. But the Wizards of the Coast announcement just feels smarmy.Of course, the tariffs won't affect them. We have already shown that the vast amount of product they are selling is digital and not print. Tariffs have nothing to do with digital products. When everything you make is sold through D&D Beyond and your future is based on micro-transactions you have nothing to worry about. You could argue that the announcement was meant to ease uncertainty being felt by customers, but to me it feels like their marketing people wanted to make sure they took advantage of real-world issues affecting many in the gaming space.Christina, what do you think?[Kick to Christina]And there you have it, All the news, you've already heard.

Today we're talking about the 5 most important Marvel Legends ever made. We'll take a look at both ToyBiz and Hasbro. Let us know what figures you think should be on this list of incredible action figures.

TOYS! I'm so happy to be back talking toys and less so collecting. We even had a guest host, which is always fun. The Ronin 2-Pack ended up not being hard to get. For us sportballers, the new NFL x Transformers Helmets look great, now they just need a Saints version. While it wouldn't be my first choice for the next Sketch Series figure, at least we're getting one I had as a kid. Nothing too exciting for Joe, in my opinion, so let's give some more props to 3DJoes with their new Field Manuals on Kickstarter now.

On the News side of things this week Andy talks about some new fancy tat coming to Transformers, more from the Transformers Wild King japanese series and problem with the new haslab figure

Eric dives into the surprising story of how the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers became part of the Disney family. From Haim Saban's early days as a music producer to building Saban Entertainment, we cover his work in cartoon music, partnerships with Deac, successful shows like X-Men: The Animated Series, and the process of adapting Super Sentai into Power Rangers for American TV. We explore the evolution of Fox Kids, Saban's strategy to gain a cable network, the formation and expansion of Fox Family Worldwide, and the sale to Disney, which transformed the Fox Family Channel into ABC Family (now Freeform). The episode also touches on Disney's use of Power Rangers at the theme parks, the creation of Jetix (later Disney XD), the sale of Power Rangers to Hasbro, and the legacy of ABC Family's “25 Days of Christmas” and the inescapable 700 Club. If you're curious how ‘90s kids' TV, Marvel, Disney, and even televangelist Pat Robertson all connect, this episode unpacks it all.

Saying goodbye. Only a few Andor episodes remain, and we're already mourning the end. Plus, it doesn't seem real. Mattel's Jurassic World toys give us our best look yet at the “D-Rex”—and it's basically a genetic turducken in reptile form. And, our hearts are broken. Just like the hollow chest cavity on Hasbro's Fire Convoy HasLab. A girl should have her own private diary. I had to share mine with my uncle. It's The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

This episode is sponsored by DungeonFlow.app. When the gods demand adventure, Dungeon Flow answers—summon your map now at DungeonFlow.app. In this wide-ranging and emotionally resonant episode, the RPGBOT.Podcast takes a sharp turn into the shifting foundations of the tabletop RPG industry, particularly the significant changes at Wizards of the Coast. With the recent retirements of longtime Dungeons & Dragons luminaries Chris Perkins and Jeremy Crawford, the hosts take a thoughtful look at the history of these figures, their legacy, and what their departure means for the game's future. The episode explores the consequences of Hasbro's increasing influence on creative decisions, the fallout from the OGL crisis, and the failure of initiatives like the Sigil VTT. Throughout, the hosts consider what lies ahead for D&D—whether the game will weather the storm of corporate missteps or if third-party publishers will seize the moment to redefine the RPG landscape. Amid uncertainty, one thing is clear: the future of the game will be shaped by both the community's response and the creative forces willing to strike out on their own. Key Takeaways The State of Dungeons & Dragons Chris Perkins and Jeremy Crawford, two of D&D's most influential figures, have stepped down. Perkins has worked on D&D since 1988, while Crawford helped shape 5e's identity. Their exit signals the end of a creative era and raises questions about who will lead next. Hasbro's increased focus on profitability has compromised creative freedom. The OGL crisis alienated fans and damaged trust in Wizards of the Coast. Sales of the 2024 Player's Handbook were record-breaking but still missed expectations. Shortages of physical books suggest logistical and planning issues. Industry and Community Impacts The Sigil VTT project, led by video game designers, failed to meet community needs. Layoffs and leadership changes have made the future of D&D increasingly uncertain. Many believe D&D is leaving its "golden age" and entering a phase of instability. Hasbro's corporate oversight has placed immense pressure on remaining design staff. Amanda (noted designer) is recognized as talented but remains controversial. The rise of third-party developers may usher in a more decentralized RPG scene. Players are growing more divided over recent content, pricing, and delivery models. The shift toward digital may alienate some fans and raise the cost of entry. Despite frustrations, many still wish D&D and its former designers well.

LIVE from BABScon 2025! We attended the final Bay Area Brony Spectacular, where we ran a panel comparing Hasbro's 1986 box office bombs -- My Little Pony the movie, GI Joe the movie, and Transformers the movie. Were they as bad as 1986 critics thought? The answer is maybe.

Behind every “yes” in the toy industry, there's a mountain of “no's,” countless hours of hustle, and more trial and error than most people expect. At one point, he came close to walking away from it all—until a single line from an episode of Bluey reminded him that making games was exactly what he was meant to do.In this episode Making It In The Toy Industry, I'm joined by the incredibly talented Jeremy Posner, owner of Shenanigans Toys and Games, the inventor behind hit games like Beagle or Bagel, Bears in Barrels, and Piggy Piggy. He's been named to the Mojo Nation 100 SIX times, won Game Innovator of the Year at the TAGIEs, and has worked with some of the biggest names in the toy industry like Hasbro, Mattel, and Spin Master. But here's the plot twist: it took Jeremy EIGHT years to meet his royalty goals. And that's after winning major awards and getting meetings with big companies right out the gate.You're gonna hear why just licensing a game doesn't mean you've made it, what really makes a game “sellable” to toy companies, and why most ideas just don't cut it. Jeremy also explained the real deal with royalties or advances, and how long it actually takes to see a check.  He even shared how he trained his brain to be more creative (yes, that's a thing!).Dreaming of creating the next game night hit or just curious what it really takes to make it in toys and games?Hit play and steal a few smart moves for your next big creative leap.Listen for these Important Moments! [00:03:07] - Despite early wins, including a TAGIE award and a background at Big Monster Toys, Jeremy didn't hit his financial goals from game licensing until eight years in. [00:11:17] - After Toy Fair, Jeremy reflects on the silence that often follows a pitch. He explains how learning why you're hearing “no” (and from whom) is key to improving your ideas and not losing steam.[00:23:00] - Around year four, Jeremy stopped “just creating” and started strategically designing evergreens. He audited his creative process, studied the brain, and trained himself to boost creative output daily.[00:33:04] - Jeremy tests tons of game ideas fast by building quick, minimum viable prototypes. He runs super short playtests to see what's worth developing and keep his creativity flowing.[00:40:35] - Near the end of the episode, Jeremy shares his dream of designing fan experiences for sports teams and creating original game shows, proving he's still dreaming big, even after major success in toys and games.Send The Toy Coach Fan Mail!

The Batman 2 Delayed Again?! | The Kristian Harloff Show Is The Batman Part II facing another delay? And if so, what's really going on behind the scenes with director Matt Reeves? On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we break down the growing speculation that Reeves may be dealing with something serious—serious enough that it's being compared to a “Chadwick Boseman situation.” Whether it's a personal health issue or something else entirely, fans are divided on whether DC or Reeves should make a statement or just be given space. Plus, actor Brandon Sklenar confirms DC Studios has contacted him about possibly stepping into the cape and cowl for The Brave and The Bold. Is he our next DCU Batman?
