Episode 894 - Jason Interviews Melissa Flores - NacelleVerse from Oni PressThe giant-sized NACELLEVERSE #0 – featuring the first comic book appearances of many of the NACELLEVERSE's biggest heroes and villains – will be followed by ROBO FORCE #1 (of 3), which will introduce the 22nd century world of the NACELLEVERSE in the first of a new slate of interconnected limited series from writer Melissa Flores. The debut comic series will chart the rise of ROBO FORCE – a scrappy, overworked team of once-thought-obsolete robots who might just be Earth's last, best chance at survival – in the lead-up to Nacelle's upcoming ROBO FORCE animated series. https://www.onipress.com/news/nycc-2023-nacelle-amp-oni-press-partner-for-new-comics-and-graphic-novel-publishing-lineLinks & Listen https://beacons.ai/comicsfunprofit Thank you so much for listening and spreading the word about our little comic book podcast.

Producer Brian Volk-Weiss joins Richard and Chris for a second time. This time to talk about the launch of his new toy company--Nacelle Toys. Brian is the producer of the successful Netflix series The Toys that Made Us and A Toy Store Near You, now entering its fourth season. In this lively conversation, Brian talks about the decision to roll out toys based on The Great Garloo, Robo Force and others...and the old schools "let's put on a show" passion that's driven this new venture. From trusting his gut to building a network of distributors, Brian is a classic toy impresario who's just going for it. Listen into this fun and fast-paced chat. In The Endcap, Chris and Richard talk about the implication for Russia deciding to suspend IP rights for properties such as Peppa Pig and others and what that means for the global IP and toy markets.

The first robot toy team I owned
The Dashing Duo are on their own once again, which means another episode full of the latest and greatest in geek news including the Nacelle Company buying the rights to Robo Force, a teaser trailer for the new He-Man animated series, an assortment of toy news, and some anime news. It's a fully packed episode […]
We talked about a lot of toys that are not in the “big 4” this time around. Instead of my favorite item from each of the “big 4”, I thought I'd highlight some items that kind of correlate to our favorite franchises. First, for Masters, we have the Four Horsemen's All-Star Round 4 Vote. They continue to kill it with this line with some of the most active and ravenous fans out there. For Joe, the Final Faction line at Dollar Tree is definitely interesting. Backed by its own cartoon, backstories, and a dedicated page on their website, this line has potential, especially at $15 for the whole set. Since Black Series is dominating Star Wars, how about the “Black Series” of Jurassic Park. I've been impressed with the Amber Collection so far. Do you need 5 raptors, probably not, but they're slowly introducing new molds. In probably the biggest reach, for Transformers, how about an Official Robo Force release. Built from the Glyos System, this is more of a building set, but at least they're robots right? Well maybe, this should have been for Joe, as this drop, they're featuring a Flash homage.

Red Herring - I'd like to ask if you would be interested in featuring my unique LEGO IDEAS submission "BASEMENT & SEWERAGE" in a video on your YouTube channel? The project has already gained more than 4,600 supporters. Alden - Hi, I’m new to investing in LEGO, and I am wondering what your stance is on the wooden minifigure as an investment. I know it is about to retire in a few days, and I was wondering if you believe that this is a bullish set or if you believe it will remain static.

We somehow talked longer than this line actually existed. Learn more about how Robo Force came from a single robot, to a single cartoon episode, and then for the most part forgotten. We dive in deep and talk all about these awesome robots that just needed a bit more thought.

William returns to the Robo Force comics. He's still taking those "supplements" his wife gave him. Madness ensues.
This episode was a big hit when I put it up on Facebook briefly. This is an improvisation in which I accidentally get "all coked-up" and proceed to read a Robo Force mini-comic (by Ideal) to the reader while frantically trying to explain that it was the most disappointing toy of the 1980's.
Today I share some challenges I faced when penciling the next Robo Force story: how to find the minimum amount of visual material to communicate the idea.

This week Robo Force head to MIT to see if they can discover the whereabouts of a missing action scientist. Danger awaits them there and possibly other places.
