Episode 030: Toy Industry Talk With Special Guest Jesse DeStasio

We welcome a new guest onto the show: industry veteran and indie toy rock star Jesse DeStasio! Jesse is an artist, musician, and videographer, but in the hobby he's known as the co-creator and co-host of Toy Pizza YouTube channel as well as the co-creator of and mastermind behind Knights of the Slice, an independent, Glyos-compatible action figure line. We chat with Jesse about designing toys for Jazwares, marketing his own creations to the indie realm, the status of the toy industry now, the role that nostalgia plays in how we enjoy our toys, and more!
