I've been inspired by the talented, knowledgeable, and just wonderful people who've been feeding me with great content about the toys, shows, books, comics, films, and music I grew up with. This was super helpful during the pandemic, and it got me to open up and meet others who got geeky and passionate about the same cultural touchstones. So I figure it's time to try my hand at generating cool content and contributing to the different communities I've come to love. So welcome to Brick Something, where we'll get get down and dirty talking about stuff that brings me joy, makes me think, and keeps my creative wheels spinning. I want to talk toys, art, share my collections, and hopefully introduce people to some of my favorite toy customizers, collectors, artists, and more. Hope you come through and check it out. Peace.

Join Brian and I in about three hours as we talk about his ridiculously cool new indie toy line ASHEN OATH. The Kickstarter ends April 30 and could use your help to put these toys on my…I mean OUR shelves. Even if you’re not in the market, come through and hear from one of the most thoughtful design minds in the game, to hear about how he made the leap from collector and fan to wanting to create a brand new dark fantasy toy line that looks like it could be a game changer for how armored figures move and handle. 💀ASHEN OATH💀: Come learn all about it. Hope to see you at 3:45pm Pacific / 6:45pm Eastern or on the replay! ✌🏾➕✊🏾

Hanging out with Jason of Spero Toys is always a good time, but sitting down with him on a Sunday to do a deep dive into the INDIE TOY landscape? That's just a recipe for a great episode of the N.E.W.S. If you missed it, definitely catch the replay, and don't forget to check out the links to everything we covered at ➡️ bit.ly/BrickSomethingNEWS
Be well folks! ✌🏾➕✊🏾

While I was at WonderCon this weekend trying to spread the word of Animal Warriors of the Kingdom and Spero Toys, I streamed a pre-recorded episode of the Brick Something N.E.W.S. featuring my friend MARCO FINNEGAN. Marco's an incredibly talented comic book artist with a powerful body of work, who I just happend to survive high school with. If you missed it, definitely catch it on the rewatch and use the links at ➡️ bit.ly/BrickSomethingNEWS to check out his work and the other creative collector champions that made it through our alma mater. It *is* a small world after all.

On this Sunday's episode of the Brick Something N.E.W.S., I get to spend some quality time with my go to nerd buddy from high school, Marco Finnegan, who's had an awesome career in comics. By day, he inspires high school students to create; by night, he draws noir- and heroic adventures. Join us this Sunday at 3:45pm Pacific as we catch up and do the nerd talk thing. ✌🏾➕✊🏾

One of my first 6” action figure lines was…wait for it…Chuck Norris Karate Kommandos!!! Ha. Had a blast with Jay @GeekDadLife and Dan @SecretGalaxyTV doing a short and sweet @toygeeks rundown of this awkward yet ultimately cool Kenner toyline. We talk chest hair, the mustache, 80s revisionist history, and the Japanese consultants that may have tried to sabotage the line. All part of the grieving process. Check it out. ✌🏾➕✊🏾
