    Galaxy of Toys Podcast: Star Wars

    Hi all,

    I usually post this in the modern section, but this episode is all vintage.

    Another great podcast! I enjoy listening to these. But, in many ways, the Stars Wars insurgence started that next generation, after me, of figures and cartoons not necessarily associated with the material I grew up with. The Mego lines were dying out; The 12 inch GI Joe converted to a trial and fail scale with Super Joe; And then came that whole wave of new cartoons and product like He-Man, Smurfs, Thunder Cats, and of course, the next generation of GI Joe in the 3/4 scale. I was graduating high school and getting into college when all of that was at it's peak. So I wasn't at a place where I saw or experienced alot of that as you guys did. But it's alot of fun to hear how it came into your lives and made that kind of impact like Mego's and Joes did for me a generation earlier. It's always fun to relate on that level of discovery. I think all generations share that common attachment to our collections. And I enjoy hearing those stories. Great stuff!
