Yeah.
19:10
Yeah.
19:11
These guys, cryptoids ran an amazing campaign.
19:14
Uh, part of which was just cool incentive figures that keep unlocking as you go.
19:22
So we came up with an additional idea.
19:25
There's the Starroid, or I'm sorry, Planetoid Raiders, which is our core line.
19:31
When our campaign launches, all eight are available.

How much fun did you guys have coming up with at least the first wave of eight characters, action figures?
ErikHOST
20:52
Yeah.
20:53
Totally.
20:54
And back then, if you got one, you'd probably be pretty disappointed.
21:00
Flash forward, you know, decades, and they're really rare and especially to find in good shape.
21:08
And the company that made them is long since extinct Tomlin toys, you know, who famously made the steroid Raiders.
21:15
Um, and doc and I being big nerds and collectors, we just, we got really excited about their aesthetic and their vibe.
21:26
And we didn't want to make repros.

ErikHOST
58:22
you for saying it, because as you guys probably can imagine,
10:04
Who do you think is going to be buying? Is it just strictly collectors, or could it be for kids, actual kids to play with?
10:11
Yeah, I think these are more collectible, and I think that the kids that...
10:19
You know what is interesting to me about these figures and the way we're really seeing Planetoy Raiders is they walk a weird line between super nostalgic... and a new art toy.
10:33
They really feel in some ways more like art toys, like a vinyl figure or a sofubi or like a blind box toy you'd get from a Japanese company.
10:44
So our approach in the packaging and in how we're approaching the line is like, you know, one of the elements of the cake we're baking is nostalgia.
10:56
And like our first eight figures are very faithful characters.
11:00
in color and style to the originals from the late 70s, early 80s.
