Speaker
I'm Eric. And I'm Dave. Welcome to Adventures in Collecting, where we talk toy news, culture, and halls, along with our journeys as collectors. Hello, everybody, and welcome back to Adventures in Collecting. Hi. Dave, we're back. We are. So I'm trying to think. It's always interesting coming off of,
Event Recaps & Comic-Con Announcement
00:02:14
Speaker
like,
00:02:15
Speaker
We had the GI Joe team, and then we had our news break. We had our AIC 120. We took a detour to Sweet Sweet. That's right. And we did our first in-person event since, what was that, Toy Fair 2020, I think? Yes. Yeah, February of 2020. Really great to be with other people, put some faces to some of the names.
00:02:43
Speaker
people behind the emails that we've been going back and forth with over the last few years. It's amazing though, just to see the Talking Toy Shiz logo. It was unreal. Yeah, he looks just like he does in all the videos. It's uncanny. It's his logo. Yeah, it's crazy.
00:03:03
Speaker
So we're coming up on a big week for Toy News as this episode will be airing as San Diego Comic Con kicks off. We are not going to that in person this time. We make no promises for future years, but we can confirm that we won't be at San Diego Comic Con this year. But maybe we'll see you in New York. Yeah, yeah. Like in general, not just at Comic Con.
00:03:33
Speaker
because we're like local to here. I mean, I mean, yeah, we are pretty close.
Importance of Toy Accessories
00:03:38
Speaker
So you might see us in New York. But you may also see us in New York Comic Con. Well, actually, if if if you're listening to this, well, actually, that'll be in the past, too, because we'll have we'll have attended toy pizza con.
00:03:53
Speaker
right before this episode comes out. So we haven't done that yet. So, also in New York. Yeah. That's what I'm talking about. So, you know, with, you know, just coming out of Sweet Sweet and, you know, with San Diego Comic Con on the horizon, it's all about new things, right? We're talking all about new toys, what's coming down the pipeline,
00:04:19
Speaker
And you know showcasing like we like we usually do the latest and greatest and today's episode brings us to a very specific part of the toy collecting and toy photography and toy display world.
00:04:36
Speaker
accessories help bring action figures to life and they enhance play. Whether that means giving toys, jet packs, and blasters for imaginative adventures, screen accurate props and munitions for display and photography, or in the case of today's guest,
00:04:52
Speaker
weapons and blood effects so they can look like they're beating the snot out of each other. It's really no wonder that accessories really make the toy these days.
Interview with Greg: Designing Toy Accessories
00:05:02
Speaker
So joining us today is Greg, better known as at super action stuff. Greg, welcome to Adventures in Collecting. Hey, Eric, thank you. Glad to be a guest on the pod. Dave, thank you as well. Happy to have you here.
00:05:18
Speaker
So, uh, you know, we're, we're, we're big fans. Uh, you know, I, I, I've, I've used a bunch of your accessories and photographs over the years. Uh, you know, I picked up a, uh, a set of your, uh, your wares from, from local, uh, local toy shop, uh, Chubsy, Wubsy toys. Um, and they're awesome. Absolutely love them. So, you know, excited to kind of meet the person behind them and, you know, also learn about, uh, how you're making these.
00:05:47
Speaker
Yeah, thank you. Yeah, that's the most fun part of it to see people use the accessories in their toy photography and come up with weird different ways that I'd never imagined they would use them. Well, before we get into the bulk of that and the actual creation process, as this is a show about collecting, the first question we ask all of our guests, what are you currently collecting?
00:06:13
Speaker
Um, that, that's great. And it's definitely part of my overall toy journey. Like I've collected action figures, like since I was a kid, um, I definitely had a phase where I stopped, you know, when I was trying to be a grownup for a little bit, but then to pull me back in. So, I mean, my first, I guess, line I was, that pulled me back into action figures collecting was Marvel legends. Um, that was like in the toy base era.
00:06:37
Speaker
Um, and I was, I was pretty, I, I pretty much got all of those at the time. Um, today, um, I still collect legends, but I'm a little bit more selective. Um, they're, they've kind of got all the characters that I've wanted to collect. So it's, you know, it's usually a couple of movie figures here or there are any upgrades for characters that I really like. Um, otherwise, you know, mezco is something I collect a lot at rumble society. Um, they're, they're one 12 collective is just excellent when you're talking about six inch figures with soft goods.
00:07:07
Speaker
Um, black series I'll pick up. I'll pick up a few every once in a while, but there's, there's sometimes disappointing, but you know, every once in a while they have a great one. Um, GI Joe classified, you know, I know you, you spoke with the Joe team in one of the earlier pods was it's probably one of the best like mass market lines right now in terms of kind of quality and what they, you know, the value that they put into each figure. I think they're doing a really bang up job there.
00:07:35
Speaker
That's one line this year I'm really enjoying. I'll pick up the occasional figure arts or mofex. Mythic regions, I'll pick up some interesting ones here and there. I think Valaverse is doing some really interesting stuff. I throw them to my line. And then a couple of fun ones, like Plunderlings. I think Plunderlings is a great company. They have a really excellent design, and they're trying and doing some interesting
00:08:04
Speaker
Interesting looking things these days and just, you know, I think adding something very, very interesting to the toy community. Um, so, uh, I, what else, uh, like Fortnite, I don't play Fortnite at all, but I think some of the character designs are hilarious. So even though I know nothing about them, I'm like, it's, it's a, you know, it's a, it's a big muscle cat. It's a, it's a, it's a chicken. It's banana. There's this fun stuff, I think. Um, yeah. And then, you know, uh, I'll pick up the occasional, like,
00:08:33
Speaker
Like storm collectibles like a like a girl or Zandy if I like those big figures Yeah, that's I kind of pick and choose everything but legends is it's usually my core and then robo society Black series and a few others. I'll pick up whatever kind of is interesting looking at the time So because of of what you what you do and you know what you make do you find that you know, you're a little more
00:09:00
Speaker
open to, you know, other things that kind of, you know, tiptoe around that one 12 scale, just to see how they, you know, interact with the accessories that you've made already or, you know, kind of inform the design of, of future accessories. Yeah. I mean, that's definitely, it definitely, I definitely look at what are people, what are people collecting? Um, and I kind of need to work with scales have been kind of getting a little bit larger in the past couple of years. So I think with legends, it was like maybe six and a quarter and they're starting to, they're getting taller or they're kind of growing up like a, like a human.
00:09:30
Speaker
And again, it's like six and a half inches, a little bit bulkier. Like you can compare Legends today with the ones that Hazard was making four or five years ago. So everything's getting a little bit bigger. And he has figures that are just in seven-inch scale. So I have to kind of work within that medium to try to cover as much audience as possible. Because if you make things that don't really scale very well, that's one of the challenges.
00:09:57
Speaker
with the audience. You want to make sure that kind of fits with the majority of collectors out there. So how did you land on the name super action stuff and the 112 scale? Yeah, so I don't exactly recall how I came up with a name. Like I was going for something very generic. The whole idea was I kind of noticed that toys were gravitating to like six inch scale.
00:10:25
Speaker
I think this is when I first was looking, thinking of this idea. There was like three and three quarter inch, five inch scale was a thing. And then I just, I just started seeing like black series was doing really well with Star Wars and Hasbro seemed to be gravitating more to like, let's do like, let's do everything six inch. It just, that just quit on doing like three and three quarter inch Marvel universe. And G.I. Joe three and three quarter was pretty much done. It was, it was dead at retail.
00:10:51
Speaker
Even Funko was getting into six inch figures. Mezco was getting into it. And Nick and McFarland were getting into six, seven inch scale as well. So I saw people kind of gravitating there and I just looked at like kind of fan community groups. I'm like, what if I created accessories? My first product was a foodie set. So it was like tacos and beer and
00:11:19
Speaker
like a little cell phone. So I saw like people are on my office, they had action figures at their desk. And I was just like, wouldn't you want to have, you know, instead of just like 20 starts sitting there, having drinking a beer or having like eating tacos or Spiderman eating tacos or a hot dog. That was kind of my first idea. I thought these would be like good accessories, a kind of
00:11:40
Speaker
Add into people's collections, make things a little more fun. Um, use them in toy photography. So I kind of gravitated towards one 12 scale, just cause I saw, I thought that that was where things were going these days. And that's where you can have the largest number of, uh, of the large audience I could, I could sell to. Yeah. I mean, that's one of those things where like, you know, I remember when I first got the, I forget what, what build the figure wave it was in, but the, the Deadpool that actually came with a taco.
00:12:10
Speaker
And thinking like, man, I really wished more action figures came with food. Yeah. I think I knew like people like love those silly accessories, like the pizza Spider-Man. Um, it's, you know, it's such a, it's such an obvious thing to do with Spider-Man, like just to have like that piece of pizza. Um, and yeah, I think that's, that's why I kind of got the idea, like with food, it's these, your characters need to eat.
00:12:36
Speaker
I have like a chimichanga in my first set that's definitely a nod to Deadpool. I have a shawarma. It kind of plays both as a shawarma, but like the shawarma is definitely a reference to Avengers, something they eat. So that was kind of like my idea that, you know, the idea of something you have to be fun, have to be kind of colorful. So your figures have something else to play with other than just like your generic weapons.
00:13:05
Speaker
So you've kind of touched on this a little bit already, but, uh, you know, with, with kind of that reasoning behind why your first set was, was food related, but what goes into the decision making for what accessories you include? Cause I mean, at this point you've, you've offered quite a, a wide variety of, um, of, of items, you know, both from physical things, like tangible items that characters can hold, you know, to blood splatters and what have you.
00:13:34
Speaker
Yeah, when I, when I started off doing this, I was, I had a bunch of different ideas of things to do. Like I had a idea to do like an office set, you know, cause I, cause again, I was, I was coming from the idea of people have these action figures around their desks, either at home or at work. And I was like, I was going to have to deal with set with like a laptop computer and, you know, phone and a desk and everything.
00:13:55
Speaker
But I also realized, I don't know everything about the action figure community. Everyone's got different demands and things that they want to include if they're sad. So I just took a lot of feedback from people. I was just asked around, say, hey, what else do you want to say? And people are like, we want blood effects. Or we want muzzle flares for the guns. Or we want action accessories that simulate movement and punching and kicking and things like that. So a lot of it was really just feedback from,
00:14:25
Speaker
from other collectors and buyers. I was just kind of like, okay, I'm gonna give the people what they want. So that's what came about for my second two sets. And it's just, I get a lot of feedback and then also everyone's, I like to do a set with a lot of customer feedback, things that people ask for. And then I'll throw in a couple of like weird ideas of my own as well. So what are some of the challenges you come across in designing the different effect pieces?
00:14:54
Speaker
I talked about a little bit earlier, but like scale is really, really challenging. So one 12 scale isn't really like accurate. So SH figure arts is probably true one 12 scale where one foot is, is one inch, but those figures are comparably to, uh, what, what's out there is, is very, it's, it's, it's much smaller. So you put like a figure arts next to a legends or a, um,
00:15:22
Speaker
like a Storm Collectibles and you know, there's like a two inch difference sometimes. So finding that sweet spot that fits both in Hasbro figures and like Fallin and Mesko and a lot of the other lines is a little bit challenging. It really comes down to like literal millimeters sometimes. That's like, that's one challenge. Another is like working with sculptors, I have like no artistic background.
00:15:49
Speaker
Um, I'm, I'm pretty much a corporate guy. I like a background in licensing, but I, uh, I had to like kind of learn how to do this stuff and how to communicate with sculptors from, you know, from the beginning. And I have like, I can't draw worth worth of that. So I'm trying, sometimes I'm trying to explain to the sculptors, like.
00:16:08
Speaker
what the blood effect I'm trying to go looks like, which is very, very difficult. You're trying to describe what a blob looks like. And you also have to keep in mind the size is right and you need to have a sticking point because people need to stick it to their figures some way. So describing that to a sculptor's
00:16:29
Speaker
was really challenging when I started off and finding reference of any images to share with them of blood, believe it or not, is pretty challenging as well to get like what I had in my mind to to get an exact image of what that looks like, especially since I can't draw it myself. So that was challenging. Game level detail and the colors, right? That's something I had to learn a lot, so I
00:16:57
Speaker
I recognized the first set I did. It was probably too cartoonish. So that worked well with certain lines. Like it would work with some, with like Ninja Turtles really well with, with, with, with Mecca. But it didn't, but I, I, I recognized like the audience wanted something a little more realistic. So I needed to kind of up my paint game and make things look a little more realistic. And, and I got a lot of feedback that people wanted clear accessories so that things pop when you have it under the right lighting conditions.
00:17:27
Speaker
And so that I had to learn a little bit how to figure out what's the right Pantone color or the base paint and then the wash or the dry brushing that's needed. And then, yeah, the scale one is really challenging. For the coffin, for example, just finding that sweet spot that fits both 7-inch figures but it's not too big for 6-inch figures was challenging. One thing I actually have to deal with a couple weeks ago is
00:17:57
Speaker
the factory, there's like a little bit of shrinkage in the mold for the coffin. And it was like just just two or three millimeters off. And like I was doing some comparisons, I just it wouldn't fit seven inch figures perfectly. So we had to like junk the mold and and do it again. So little things like that. I want to make sure like the final product
00:18:17
Speaker
you know, it's it delivers for what the fans want for their figures, like you never want to buy a toy and it doesn't accomplish what you what you intend what you wanted it to do. So things like that. Working in the factories and making sure that it's just it's done right is really important because once you once you once you finalize a tooling and start using it, it's it's it's finalized, you can't go back and fix it. And, you know, it's funny you say that, too, because just those like I find just
00:18:46
Speaker
across the board, you know, with accessories, you know, having, having, you know, a collection of MacFarlane figures having, you know, Marvel legends and, you know, like you said, the SH figure arts figures, which are like proper one 12 scale. There are some accessories, like some types of accessories that are more forgiving than others, like, you know, certain types of weapons, you know, like the, the bit, like a, you know, a big rocket launcher is a big rocket launcher. It kind of doesn't matter, you know,
00:19:13
Speaker
how big it is to, you know, uh, a one six versus, or, uh, excuse me, a one 12 versus, you know, a seven inch figure, but like something like a small handgun or like, you know, a cheeseburger or a donut, like, like those types of things, like we all kind of have in our heads, like what they look like and what they should look like in somebody's hand. So I didn't really think about that until we started having this conversation, how tricky that must be to kind of walk that fine line.
00:19:42
Speaker
Yeah, like I got a 3D printer just so I could play around. Like we're just talking, we're talking about like modifications on one or 2% from a mold. And I'm just kind of printing out constant ones, just kind of see what is the right size that fits for, that hits that sweet spot. So it covers figures that are between like six and a quarter and seven inches.
00:20:04
Speaker
So you mentioned it briefly before, but you have a new pre-order up for a brand new set called the Casket of Cruelty.
New Releases: Casket of Cruelty
00:20:13
Speaker
Love the alliteration. Great name. And you did mention that the casket, that all the accessories are kind of bundled in, can fit a multitude of figures. But tell us a little bit about the set in general. Yeah. So the bag of violence between Diamond and Firepower, the bag of violence got
00:20:33
Speaker
definitely like a great reception. Um, people are still buying it today. I'm like kind of down to my last couple of cases, which is great. Um, and it's, I got a good reception for that, but then a lot of feedback as well. So people writing to me say, Hey, can you do like more guts and stuff like that? I want like a brain. I want eyeballs. I want, you know, I want more gore and I got kind of feedback for, you know, more different weapons. I wanted more like handheld weapons. So.
00:21:02
Speaker
I think one, I'm like, okay, let's expand the blood. I think we can do a little more gore, for sure. So I threw in a brain in there, I threw in a heart, a bloody heart, some ripped out eyeballs. A lot more like gratuitous blood effects. Things like a gunshot wound and a crossbow bolt with a little bloody stick at the end.
00:21:30
Speaker
And I kind of dipped into the zombie universe in terms of weapons. So you got to throw in a cricket bat, a crossbow, a riot shield, a nightstick. I got a katana in there with a swipe effect. It can be used with the katana and the sap, but also can be used with a lot of swords. And it's actually not a katana. It's a ninjato. It can be used with a lot of other
00:21:55
Speaker
swords that you find in other lines. So that swipe effect is usable for, it should fit a lot of swords. I've tested it. So I just want to do more. And then one thing I kind of personally didn't like about my other sets was the packaging. That's kind of just what the factory suggested and I went with it, but it was like kind of tough to open and
00:22:19
Speaker
There's like waste there. So, you know, I kind of had a, this idea that, Hey, why don't I make like a box that's also an accessory and the coffin, the casket just kind of worked. Um, so that's it. Ollie enough. I was working on two other sets and.
00:22:38
Speaker
Um, like the sculpting and design just kind of was taking a while and I was getting a lot of feedback from the bag of violence said, okay, I'm going to work on this one separately. Um, with, uh, with, uh, with another designer, it's a guy named, uh, uh, green bomb who, uh, is, uh, on Instagram. I can show the, uh, like he's an excellent designer. He helped me out with, um, kind of, as I said, like trying to describe what a blood splatter should look like.
00:23:01
Speaker
was something that was kind of out of my vocabulary. And he helped a lot with, you know, working with a sculptor and coming up with the colorway. So he was a lot of help in helping design like a lot of the accessories in here. So that's kind of like the, in a nutshell, what that, what, what the kind of production looked like. And it takes a long time. You know, this is not my full-time job. This is kind of like a side hustle that turned into like something else by itself.
00:23:27
Speaker
There's a lot I try to pack as much as possible. I mean, that's one of the things that's really cool about this set, you know, and and frankly, the other ones that you've done is that they're just, you know, there is a variety and and I, you know, personally, I like the kind of pop cultural, you know, touches like, you know, ever since Shaun of the Dead, you know, a cricket bat has been a, you know, like a proper zombie. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Yeah. So seeing that show up on the set, zombie defense.
00:23:57
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, you got a nice wide surface area. It's like a baseball bat, but it's not as difficult to miss with it. But I just like that the thought went into including something like that in the set, where even years on from Shaun of the Dead, like I said, it's become kind of like a cultural touch point where if you're talking about weapons,
00:24:22
Speaker
Like I know Casey Jones, you know, you got to know what a crumpet is, you know, to play cricket. But, uh, you know, like seeing it with blood splattered on it, I think is Shaun of the dead.
00:24:33
Speaker
Yeah, I think a lot of Americans probably don't even recognize a cricket bat outside of, you know, like a fraternity. But yeah, it's one of those that one in particular, that was like one of my no one was asking for a cricket bat. But I'm like, I got to throw a cricket bat in there if I'm going to have a bunch of like zombie defense weapons. But that one was oddly like one of the most difficult ones to stick the scale right.
00:24:55
Speaker
both because cricket bats come in a lot of different sizes. I think I think actually, like in real life, a cricket bat looks a lot smaller than what you would imagine him for like a zombie movie. So I actually actually made it a little bit bigger. But I went through so many size iterations with that one. And it also make the
00:25:15
Speaker
The angles on are really, really weird. It's not, it's not, it's not exactly a paddle. There's like these, uh, it's got one flat side and like kind of a triangular curve at the tip. Um, it's a really wonky shape. It's a weird like wedge almost.
00:25:30
Speaker
Right. It's a really weird shape. The sculptor I was working with, I could tell is an American like us, but that image is right for a cricket bat where it was pretty difficult to nail down. That one accessory was a lot more challenging than I thought it would be. The other thing that surprises me about the effects as well,
00:25:56
Speaker
is, you know, like you mentioned, you need to kind of work in those design points so that way they can be, you know, attached to a figure, you know, whether it's with sticky tack or, you know, whatever your means is. But I think too, the other thing that people don't talk enough about is the weight of these. And I think it's really important that you're able to keep a lot of these, especially like, I can't wait to use the one that's like the
00:26:25
Speaker
vomiting blood I guess is the most straightforward way to say it but like one of my favorite effects previously is that one that almost just kind of looks like it's it works really well for like somebody who's getting punched in the face and like they there looks like they're spitting blood yeah and it amazed me the first time I went to go use it you know just putting a little bit of blue tack and you know sticking it to a cheek that it didn't like flop over because it's it's so light and
00:26:53
Speaker
Yeah, that's definitely part of the calculus in designing these things. It's got to be light. It's got to have kind of a flat edge so you can stick it with a little bit of like blue tack. And there's a lot of consideration when making these. Like some of the accessories don't work great. And then some of them I just kind of learned through experience what is like that sweet spot in terms of size and weight and how transparent it is and all those considerations that go into it.
00:27:22
Speaker
Now, when we had, um, when we had Ricky from Plunderlings on, we mentioned Plunderlings earlier, um, he was kind of telling us about, uh, you know, mold, like molds and like the type of plastic and like, you know, how to kind of, you know, work out a mold. You use a lot of different, um, types of plastics in, in, in these sets, you know, various, uh, you know, uh, more ones are more translucent than others. You know, you have.
00:27:51
Speaker
Obviously you have things like baseball bats and everything. How do you work that out in terms of just kind of the logistics and making sure that you get everything that you need done? Yeah, so typically the plastics are used for these types of things are PVC or ABS. And I really defer a while back to the factory to make kind of their best judgment.
Materials & Logistics in Accessory Creation
00:28:14
Speaker
A lot of it comes down to
00:28:17
Speaker
which material is better for molding that particular piece. So if it's too thin, then it could snap. So sometimes for accessories, you need a little bit of give to it. And other times, if it's a baseball bat, it can be a little more solid. So I defer more to my factory on that one to kind of figure out which is better for whether it's ABS or PVC.
00:28:42
Speaker
depending on the thickness of it or what paint is going on at our level of detail. Because these things get pretty small. So yeah, I wish that's something I knew more about. I'm still learning that side of it. But yeah, that's pretty much what it comes down to. As usual, we have a little bit of a Q&A section. We made a post just announcing that today's show was going to be happening.
00:29:11
Speaker
Um, and we got a question in from a friend of the show at toy farce. Um, so toy farce asks, if there was no copyright or license to worry about, what's one accessory you would love to make? Yeah, that's a great question. And it's luckily right now, it's not something I ever need to think about because I'm intentionally making generic items that kind of fit for.
00:29:37
Speaker
all collectors with like kind of different themes. But, you know, if I was going to do like a license set, like one thing I was thinking, I'm not even like a fan of Fallout. I haven't really played the game that much. They've got some great weapon designs. That'd be something I think would be fun to play with. The other one would be like Nintendo. There's so many like iconic accessories from all their different games from like Zelda and Metroid and Mario Brothers.
00:30:05
Speaker
like Smash Brothers that I think would be, you know, I think a set like that which had those accessories for six inch scale would be hilarious because obviously what do we do with our toys when they can fight each other? So kind of like a Smash Brothers type environment where you had those type of weapons and accessories from your like your iconic Nintendo games would be a lot of fun.
00:30:27
Speaker
That's one of those things where I've, I've been, you know, especially seeing Jax, uh, you know, produce all the video game figures they've been, they've been making, you know, that the Mario ones and they had, they have, uh, legends of Zelda ones coming out and the Sonic the Hedgehog. Like the fact that nobody has made. Like a super articulated super smash brothers line, you know, just all those Nintendo characters. And, you know, if, if they were, if they were able to, you know, add some of like the special ones like Ryu and.
00:30:58
Speaker
and Solid Snake, a line of Super Smash Brothers figures would be absolutely killer. It's so obvious, right? Nintendo is notoriously in the licensing world to be externally selective in who they do business with and what they make. Their number one priority is make good games, and they're obviously great at that. Make good games, make good systems. But unfortunately, they don't
00:31:27
Speaker
they don't put a lot of focus into the consumer, consumer product side. And, you know, they do, they obviously do have some stuff out there. They have a, they have like some great figures with Figma. Um, but yeah, I agree. They could, they could definitely be doing a lot more if they wanted to. Yeah. Like, uh, like that, that game is so, um, you know, talk about cultural touch point there, you know, whether it's video game tournaments. I mean, how many iterations of super smash brothers have been?
00:31:54
Speaker
And yeah, like accessories, like so many different accessories that you could put with those figures. That would be unbelievable. Right. I mean, you talk about like Fortnite, which has three companies making different skills of action figures. And that's in the entertainment world. That's a very new property versus like Nintendo, which has been around forever. You have like literally multiple generations growing up on that brand. I'm shocked there's not more action figures and toys out there.
00:32:24
Speaker
Well, maybe the right person is listening. And we can get a Super Smash Brothers line off the ground. That would be killer. So every now and then, we like to play this game called This or That. We haven't played it in a little bit, but we like to tailor it to two specific episodes for specific guests. And we thought it would be really fun to play a classic accessories edition of This or That.
00:32:56
Speaker
This segment is brought to you by our friends at Chubsy Wubsy Toys. A traditional mom and pop toy store in Little Falls, New Jersey, Chubsy Wubsy Toys brings you the best new toys from the brands you love without the hassle of pounding the pavement, searching for them at larger retail stores.
00:33:12
Speaker
Visit them in person at 106 Main Street in Little Falls, New Jersey, or online at ChubsyWubsy.com. That's C-H-U-B-Z-Z-Y-W-U-B-Z-Z-Y.com. And tell them Adventures in Collecting sent you.
00:33:29
Speaker
So the way that this works is we will give you two options. Dave and I will just switch back and forth of two different accessories throughout the kind of just the history of action figures. And you tell us which one you would prefer. It's kind of simple. There's no wrong answer. This is all just your opinion. That's cool. I'm going to make my own criteria then. All right. Do you want to lay out the criteria before we go?
00:33:58
Speaker
I mean, when I look at accessories, I kind of look at. I don't know if this is a word, photograph ability, like something that, you know, works, that's got a multiple use and accessibility and variety and something that photographs. Well, I look, I think about that a lot when I look at accessories, things that you can do fun stuff with. But yeah, let's let's let's dive in. All right, Dave, do you want to do the first one? Yeah, absolutely. So we have the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles weapons tree.
00:34:28
Speaker
or He-Man's Power Sword? Yeah, He-Man's Power Sword is definitely iconic looking. It's very OP, but I would probably go with the Ninja Turtles weapons tree just because, you know, a lot of fun ninja stuff in there. I would say a little more variety in the colors, but yeah, ninja accessories are always fun. Those weapons, like Ken, got good mileage. All right, next one. Captain America's shield or a visionary's hologram?
00:34:57
Speaker
You know, the holograms are deep. Like, that's something I collected way back in the day. And holograms just kind of, like, died after the 80s. But holograms are... The one thing about them is they don't photograph well, just because you don't have that, you know, that 3D effect. So just Captain America. I'm a big Marvel nut. Just because that's such an iconic weapon. And there's so much symbolism behind it. You know, I'll always go Capshield.
00:35:28
Speaker
Yeah, I don't think there's a competition, like lightsaber for sure. From an accessory standpoint, it photographs really well when you put lighting behind it. And there's no other OP sword out there more than a lightsaber. All right, a toilet or a dumpster? So a toilet's great for humor, but I think from an accessory standpoint, a dumpster just has a lot more versatility.
00:35:55
Speaker
you know, what better way I mean, when you have like a street scene, the dumpster in the back kind of like sets into it very easily. And then what better way to show like a character is really literally down the dumps when you know, their backs to a dumpster. That's you know, I there's a lot more versatility, I think with the the both good accessories, I would think but I'm gonna dumpster is definitely something I would want to make someday as like a case for a future accessory pack.
00:36:22
Speaker
So fun fact about that one, quick aside. Yeah, I was going to say that's like the old Jax WWE grapple gear question. It is. It is exactly that. And the reason why I bring it up is because that toilet and that dumpster from those Jax grapple gear figures from whatever year that had to be what, 2000.
00:36:42
Speaker
2003, somewhere around there. I still use those today, like in photography. They are two of my favorite, that dirty half broken toilet and the dumpster are two of my favorite accessories I think that have ever been made, period. Like they're just so much fun. And like to your point, like, you know, you can, I keep the toilet in the dumpster when I'm not using them. Like they, like it's just, it fits and I keep other stuff in the dumpster too.
00:37:11
Speaker
Though the dumpster is just like the best background thing It's the best That's that's good feedback because it's definitely something I want to make someday but maybe I gotta accelerate that for the next step because I I 3d printed it like a dumpster and I use it a lot more than I thought I ever would I
00:37:31
Speaker
Yeah, like I like I have I have a background from diorama prints. That's just like a New York City street and I can't tell you how many times I've taken pictures of
00:37:43
Speaker
Like that New York city street with the dumpster in it, like it just immediately brings that, that, uh, that diorama to life. And, you know, plus like, you can open up half the dumpster and have like smoke coming out of it or like a leg coming out of it or something. It's a very, uh, very versatile. Uh, yeah, that, that thing is spacious too. That thing was made to fit like two wrestlers. And so.
00:38:10
Speaker
Yeah. And that's the other thing you can have. You can, you can recreate your, your, your WWE attitude error, uh, dumpster match. If you want to ever like set the mood for like a filthy alleyway, like the dumpsters, the way to go, like the, the, the toilet, um, I 3d printed one. I don't use as much as I want to, but that one you need like a little more setting for it. You need to have, you need to create like a stall, like in bathroom tiles and things like that to make it.
00:38:35
Speaker
really work. You can't just put it on, you know, dirty ground. I guess could, but, um, it's a little more difficult to build a dirty stall than it is just a street scene with a dump, right? The dumpster just sets the mood immediately. So speaking of WWE, we have the WWE title belt or Superman's cape. Hmm. Um, I've looked into doing capes and clothing and it's really tough. It's really tough to take the size, right?
00:39:02
Speaker
Um, they're really, especially with capes, they're really hard to photograph because, you know, like gravity and wrinkles. Um, so I think the title belt actually is more versatile, especially when, you know, again, we're fighting, we're having the characters fight all the time and, you know, what other way to symbolize victory than the title belt. I love that answer. I love it. Now I'm just curious when you think of super, like in my head,
00:39:30
Speaker
When I think of Superman's cape for, for whatever reason, I think of a Kenner superpowers like C-ring, you know, like just like on the back of his neck, Superman cape, but like what keep did you have in your head when you were thinking about it? Um, that's a thing. Like when I was trying to, I was looking into doing soft goods at one point and it's, it's hard to nail down the cape. One was like, if it's too long, then, you know, it looks like a kid wearing a blanket.
00:39:56
Speaker
If it's too short, it kind of looks like Batgirl's cape. So getting that size right, you have to basically do it character by character. You can make Batman that has a specific cape. It's got those little kind of pointy things at the end. So you can do a red cape for Superman, but that's not the same as a red cape for Thor. His has the little circle pin things on the shoulders.
00:40:23
Speaker
It's really hard. I try to make accessories that are more generics that can be used with as many characters as possible. And by going to soft goods, other than doing prison outfits or aprons and things like that for cooks, capes are tricky. It's really hard to nail down something unless you're making it for a specific figure. And then if you're doing that, I try to go for volume. If I'm doing just a cape, a red cape, then
00:40:53
Speaker
Superman it doesn't have a logo on it either. So, you know the audience for that's really small Comparatively. All right. Our next one a barbed wire bat or a crowbar? Mmm, so From the zombie standpoint the barbed wire bat looks better photography But kind of like going out of my own rules
00:41:17
Speaker
Like I've given this more thought than I should, but if we're ever in a zombie apocalypse, the crowbar is actually the best thing to have in your arsenal because one, it's not going to break. Two, you don't run out of ammo. And three, we worry about a zombie apocalypse that you can spend a lot of time finding zombies, but you're going to spend more time forging. And a crowbar is absolutely essential if you need to like open up a locked door, break into, uh,
00:41:44
Speaker
into locked cabinets or refrigerators or whatever. So crowbars, in the real life, and like a zombie apocalypse, you need a crowbar. That's your number one tool. But for photography, the barbed wire bat is just more iconic. You know, Walking Dead is a big part of that, but it's just a cool looking gruesome weapon. So the next one is Batarang or a Ninja Stark? Hmm.
00:42:08
Speaker
Um, in real life, both weapons are pretty useless. If you've ever tried throwing like a throwing ninja star, like, I always think of like that, that South Park episode where, where, where butters gets in the eye. Um, but I don't know, like, like the battering, the battering just was cooler, I think. Yeah. So I've never tried, oddly enough, I've never tried throwing a ninja star, but I have tried throwing a battering before, like a, like one with like an edge to it. Yeah.
00:42:37
Speaker
And it just clanged against the tree and fell to the ground. Like there was, there was no, um, there was, there was nothing like sexy or impressive about it. Just clanged against the tree and hit the ground. Yeah. I could barely throw a Frisbee. So I could imagine what I would do with either. Like someone would get some sort of, it would end poorly. I think the ones from the Nolan movie, like the ones that are really thin and just kind of like a, they're weighted like a throwing knife. I think those are probably the most practical.
00:43:07
Speaker
Today, like the bigger ones went to like big and flat, like a metal fizzbait. Realistically, you try to throw those things, it's not going anywhere. There's like zero accuracy, but the ones are like kind of like a throwing dagger. That one actually is a little more practical, I think. All right. And this is our last one. We've kind of talked about this already a little bit. So we're going to have to come to a decision on it, a baseball bat or a cricket bat.
00:43:33
Speaker
I love the look of a cricket bat and kind of what that, I'm really excited to see what people do when that accessory gets out. But, um, the baseball bat is really, is a such a, such an iconic versatile like weapon. Um, there's a question, the side question for that is aluminum or wood, because I had to, I had to think about that myself when I was making the set, which is why I ended up with a wooden spiked bat and an aluminum bat and my, my bag of violin set. But the bat has so much use to it, you know, especially when
00:44:03
Speaker
You're talking about, you know, street characters and thugs and things like that. They got to have a baseball bat. Well, also too, I love that the aluminum bat was in that, uh, that set because you guys, you know, a wrestling fan, you know, the, the, the metal bat. There are a lot of characters that have over the years have, uh, you know, kind of adopted that most recently, you know, Chris Jericho, um, yeah. So it was, it was nice having, having a bat. So. Yeah.
00:44:33
Speaker
Yeah. I was going to say like, you know, I could throw one more in there, like, uh, you know, steel, like folding chair or a ladder. I got a 40 chair coming up in a future set. Talk about, talk about a segue. So that being the, that being the end of the game and the last question, um, we talked about what you've done so far and your newest stuff. So what do you have? What do you have in the pipeline? What's what's coming next for super action
Future Plans for Accessory Sets
00:45:00
Speaker
stuff?
00:45:00
Speaker
Yeah, that's that's the that's the fun stuff is coming up with your ideas and then working on them and trying to work with designers and sculptors and prototyping them. That's a fun part that. I mean, it takes a long time. It takes a really long time to get stuff sculpted just right. And then working with the factory. I know we're in a in a world where we get like instant fulfillment sometimes, but I don't know about you. I also have a ton of stuff on preorders, but it's it's I don't work on like these sets for
00:45:30
Speaker
probably like a year and a half, two years where I kind of come up with an idea. I kind of filter down all the things I want to include in there. Cause if I, if I, if money was no object, I would put as many things as I possibly could in there. But I always try to make a sets affordable. Um, and I try to make them accessible. Those are like the two tenants of my company is like, I don't want to overcharge for stuff. I want it to have to be around the price of a figure. I want there to be value there. I'm not trying to price it. I'm trying to my best to avoid pricing people out. Um,
00:45:58
Speaker
I don't want them to be available. I don't want them to be like a one time thing. And then, you know, they're sold out in 10 minutes. So I actually overproduce just so that I have a longer period of time to sell things because I do think that they sell through word of mouth more than anything else. But in terms of other sets I'm working on, so I'm probably going to be doing like a smaller
00:46:20
Speaker
set where I'm reusing some of the blood effects. One thing I get asked about a lot is, hey, can you do the blood effects in different colors? And it always eventually gravitates towards I want alien blood. So I'm definitely going to be doing a green alien blood set after the casket. One thing I got to figure out is what kind of container to put it in. So I'm kind of going back and forth between do I want like a generic wooden
00:46:47
Speaker
like a gun crate or something that's more sci-fi and I'm kind of leading to something like a sci-fi crate something that's you know something you just kind of stick in the background of your star wars or sci-fi displays so I'm probably gonna do something like that like a like a little crate with some green blood effects in there and you know for some reason the boxing another set of color boxing gloves will be in there because that's
00:47:13
Speaker
When I do these things like on the tool, you've got I kind of had to figure out for each piece of each piece of tooling what accessories are going to go on there when I want to think about which ones I got to reuse in the future. So for some reason, I put the boxing gloves on the blood tool. So I'll I'll have a random set of boxing gloves in there. I think I don't think people are going to complain about having, you know, different variety of colors for boxing gloves. Yeah. Yeah. Throw in like a throw in like a black pair.
00:47:41
Speaker
of, uh, of boxing gloves. Cause then you can have, uh, you got a red pair, you got a black pair. Yeah. So, well, about that. So for the, for the only one, I'll probably actually do gold pair because another set I'm working on, and this one's been taking me a long time, but, um, is one that's kind of focused around fun and recess and like play items. So.
00:48:03
Speaker
There's going to be sport items there. There's going to be like a basketball, football, a soccer ball, um, graffiti cans. Um, there's going to be, uh, like a, like a game boy, Nintendo switch type, like portable play console. I'm going to have a, an acoustic, acoustic guitar in there. I'm going to have two sets of boxing gloves. So I'm going to have already, I have the red one coming out for a casket. So I'm going to have a black pair and a green pair, like a lime green. That's evocative of, uh, of what you think and.
00:48:32
Speaker
Um, I'm going to have, what else? I'll have like hockey stick in there when hockey puck, um, two hockey sticks. Um, I'm going to have, what else I'm going to throw in there. Um, the basketball has kind of come with a flaming effect, like kind of circa NBA jam. So if you want to do like a flaming basketball shot or like a flaming soccer, uh, kick, um, that's going to be able to stick on there for that effect. Um,
00:48:59
Speaker
Yeah, actually let me pull out my prototype and I'm going to stick everything in an arcade machine. That's something a lot of people have been asking for. Yeah, I had a poll a couple. Weeks ago on what's on what's on kind of like what the arcade machine is going to look like. So I had one designer kind of do like kind of a basic. It's like a. It's like kind of like a starfighter vapor wave style. Just so it would fit really well with a like a.
00:49:29
Speaker
um 80s or 90s arcade and then the other one is um I'm having someone work on the art as we speak um it's gonna be a little bit Marvel versus Capcom-esque but it's gonna be cats with knives so it's gonna have like different kind of generic different types of cats like a like a ninja with a sword and uh like a like a rando-style character with like a hunting knife and it's it's it's gonna be a little more it's gonna be a little more goofy um let's see what else I have I have a I have a
00:49:59
Speaker
I have a DSLR camera with a lens. So that's for a toy photographer. So you can photograph yourself photographing your toys, photographing smaller toys. The folding chair is going to be in there. I got some headphones, which I've worked with my designer to kind of make it a little more
00:50:19
Speaker
It's got a rail system so that it can fit on various heads. Because I think that's one of the biggest difficulties with headsets is they can only fit for certain size heads. And we have characters that have a little more hair. It doesn't really work. So the rail system, in theory, I think it's going to work. It'll be able to have a little more give so you can work it on a lot of different character head sizes, especially if you have hair.
00:50:46
Speaker
I'm going to have VR goggles, like a VR headset in there. I got some weird requests for that. And that's kind of booming. So I thought that'd be kind of fun to do to have your characters playing VR. The spray can is going to have a couple of different spray effects. And then, oh yeah, the vomit was originally made for this set. But I decided to reuse the sculpt for the casket.
00:51:16
Speaker
are traditional vomit in this set. And yeah, I think that's mostly I have a couple of like a dizzy effect. You should do like a like a little Bluetooth speaker. A Bluetooth speaker like a little like, you know, because I mean, like a boombox is not really like a that's not really like a thing anymore. But like just thinking like, you know, if you if you show up to play soccer or basketball with your friends, like a lot of times
00:51:46
Speaker
And you put a little, you put a Bluetooth speaker down. Yes. That way you have music. Yes. That's interesting idea. Like, yeah, I know Mezco makes the, um, the boomboxes. Yeah. We have like a traditional boombox and then like an eighties nineties, and they have like some more modern looking ones. Um, Bluetooth speaker. That's interesting because it's hard for me to picture what a generic Bluetooth speaker looks like because they kind of look like just, you know, tubes.
00:52:13
Speaker
Yeah. Like a cylinder. That's a good point. That would be tough. Like, or like a rectangle. Yeah. Like the texturing would have to look like that. Um, then almost like mesh. Right. Yeah. If you knock down, but you can nail the speaker texture, I think that could affect a potentially work. Um, yes, that's interesting. I don't write that down. Um, okay. I got like a little like filtration mask for the spray painting. Oh, that's cool. No coffee mug. Uh, I got a coffee mug and then also like a disposable coffee cup.
00:52:44
Speaker
Yeah, I think that's I think that's everything in the set this one. I'm pretty I think it's a little more fun might not be as versatile as like the blood and other effects, but It's like two other two boxing gloves. So yeah, this one's I I really like how the arcade is turning out. I think that's gonna be Unfortunately, like I wasn't working on this and then has started doing those fortnight arcades Yeah for like ten bucks, but I
00:53:12
Speaker
Mine's going to look a lot better. It's a lot more sizable and scale. The other, the Hasbro ones are kind of, um, smaller and flimsier looking. Yeah, they're, they're a little small. Um, and again, like they're, they're, they're very, they're hyper stylized because they're in that, that Fortnite look. So, I mean, they, they look, um, they look very cartoony. Right. Right.
00:53:35
Speaker
And then one thing I know that people like to do is they want to customize stuff. So once I make it available, I'll open source the dimensions. So if people want to print out their own designs on this, then they can just use those dimensions. And they want to make their own model versus Capcom or their own classic arcade thing. They'll have the dimensions and they can make it themselves. I'm sure some people will
00:54:00
Speaker
provide that as a service as well. If I could find somebody to figure out how to put lights into it, install it, then I'll open source that design and kind of share that if anyone wants to crack that. Yeah, I actually just saw, what account was it? I want to say it was at OG trilogy, who we've mentioned before on the show. He does some really great customizing work. But I think he found somebody that has mapped out
00:54:30
Speaker
Hasbro arcade cabinets. Yes, it was him. All right good so at Kyler Robinson customs That's yeah, I know that guy so the customizer. He's he has figured out he has mapped out the arcade cabinets that the Hasbro ones and he looks like he has a
00:54:53
Speaker
Turtles in Time, Galaga, and X-Men. And they look phenomenal. It's unbelievable. He's done everything down to the screen on them to make it look like the game is actually being played. Yeah, stunning work. So once you get those out there, especially if the cabinet's a little bit larger and a little bit more on scale for most figures,
00:55:22
Speaker
Um, the people are going to eat that up. Yeah. I, I, I'm familiar with his work. This stuff is really phenomenal. I agree. So that's a good idea. I might reach out to him and just say, Hey, here's my, here's the dimensions for this thing. If you want to kind of make customized, um, like sheets or stickers or whatever you want to modify this, then like, let's, let's work together. Let's, you know, you can do your own thing and I can share that along for people who are, they're not happy with the, the, the generic cats with knives are.
00:55:50
Speaker
the Starfighter designs I have with this, then they can get something from Kyle Robinson and, you know, get something customized for whatever game they want it to be. Hey, or maybe they order two and they want cats with knives and a custom one because they're building a little arcade. That's why I want to see people to do a little arcade. Have a little arcade set with with other characters. I've seen people do that. People like there's they've they've either made their own or they
00:56:18
Speaker
purchased a lot from customizers. But when I'm talking about doing these sets, I need a box. I need a box that kind of works for what people are generally collect. So the arcade one just kind of fit with the whole theme of fun. I've got a lot of gaming systems in there already. So I thought that brings the most value to this arcade. I'm really looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Dave.
Greg's Favorite & Strangest Collection Pieces
00:56:48
Speaker
Would you like to fulfill your role as this podcast James Lipton and ask our final question? I sure would. The final question that we ask all of our guests, what is your favorite and or strangest piece in your collection? It can be one of each or it can be both. It's a really hard one for me to answer because there's so many, there's been so many great, it's a great time to be a toy collector.
00:57:16
Speaker
There's so many great figures that have come out in the past couple of years. And I always like pull one down from my shelf and then, you know, do photography or play with it or just kind of like have it on my desk for like a couple of weeks at a time. But once I always gravitate back to our, the Sentinel Miles Morales is incredible. And I have the other, the Parker one on pre-order. I'm waiting for that one. It's taking a long time to get. But that's definitely a top one
00:57:44
Speaker
Between like Morales Popeye and the Storm Collectors Mike Tyson, those three are the Popeye, it's hard to pick from those three. The strangest one I definitely got, I kind of got in a win. I just saw it on Instagram. It's a Keith Ledger Joker that's painted up as Ronald McDonald. Have you seen this one before? Yeah, I have. I have.
00:58:13
Speaker
Yeah, the figure is like absolute garbage. Like I got in it and I fell to pieces like immediately, but it's got all these like weird, like Ronald, like these Ronald McDonald McDonald's accessories and like hamburger fries. It's just a weird set, but it just looks so funny. Expression on the characters. It's like the character looks like, like, what am I doing here? If, if I, if I recall correctly, it is a, um, a bootleg NECA Keith Ledger Joker.
00:58:43
Speaker
from when, when they had the, um, the, the DC license for, for a hot minute there. And for whatever reason, like it's, it's one of those, those Ali express or, uh, uh, Alibaba specials where they just packaged it up in McDonald, like with a couple of. Food accessories and Ronald McDonald colors, and they sell it alongside the, the, uh, the more
00:59:13
Speaker
closely accurately painted version of Heath Ledger's Joker. And it's just one of those things where I don't know if anyone has ever gotten an actual explanation as to why it exists, but it sure does. Yeah, it is such a weird figure to make. Someone in Asia is like, oh, we got this Joker mold. What do you want to do with it? Oh, we can do the traditional colors. Or you can make them look like Ronald McDonald.
00:59:42
Speaker
Hear me out for a second. I have an idea. And someone said, okay, let's make 20,000 of them and just throw them up on AliExpress. Now, what I wish they would have done alongside of that is I wish they would have taken the, the bootleg, um, Batman and painted him like the grimace. Cause like a purple, a purple, um, I mean, there's been a purple Batman cause of the NES one, but like a purple, like grimace Batman.
01:00:09
Speaker
Or the Burger King King, having to be true rivals. That would be great too. See now there's, there's a market for, well, I mean, that takes a little, it's going to take a little bit more, a little bit more work to paint, uh, Christian Bale, like the Burger King King. But, uh, yeah, I feel like there's, we need something now. We need something. There's definitely a market there for crossovers with fast food mascots. I think we're onto here.
01:00:35
Speaker
Well, Greg, before we, uh, before we sign off for the evening, uh, remind our listeners, uh, where can they find you on the internet and where can they, they order a super action stuff?
Where to Buy Super Action Stuff Accessories
01:00:46
Speaker
Yes. So super action stuff. My Instagram is, uh, at super action stuff. Um, I have a store you can buy direct from me on super with super action stuff.com. Um, but also I, again, like one of my key tenants is I want to make this stuff available. I don't want it to be difficult to find. So.
01:01:05
Speaker
You can find myself on eBay, you can find it on Etsy, and my big buyers are Big Bad Toy Store and Entertainment Earth. I also distribute through Diamond Distributors, so that's been great too. I've seen them pop up in the random comic book shop here or there. But if you have access to the internet and you have a shipping address, it's easy to get to me and find my stuff.
