Now, well, for listeners who may not know the name, how would you describe the mission of Toys for Tots? And what does that mission look like in real, you know, in everyday actions, like when you're working with the communities?
Terry AndrisGUEST
5:41
It's very much, and quoting the message of hope, We're trying to show the children in our community that we care about them, whether that's with that one toy.
Terry AndrisGUEST
5:50
You'd be amazed just that one toy gives that child comfort.
Terry AndrisGUEST
6:21
They're there to help us in many different ways that they can.
TedHOST
6:26
Well, let's tell you what, let's let's segue into the Marines.
TedHOST

TedHOST
6:36
How can you explain how the Marines are involved and what it's like for them behind the scenes and their partnership? How does that work with you guys?
Terry AndrisGUEST
6:46
Okay.

If you don't know the name Akashi Station, you probably know the names of Toku Toy Town, YHS Podcast, Toy Anxiety, Monster Island Podcast, any number of things, and there is no shortage of what this duo is doing.

JeffHOST
12:03
It's rare that you see those.
Scott HaleHOST
12:05
Yeah, I mean, you might be able to find them on eBay, but yeah, as far as seeing them in the old toy stores, I never see those Saturday Night Live figures.
JeffHOST
12:11
There was supposed to be a series two, but that never came out, and I wish I could remember what they were because Breaker and I talked about that on TV ToyCast, but unfortunately, I don't remember what they were.
Scott HaleHOST
12:22
You got to figure there's money to be made there, right? That is such a long-storied show.
Scott HaleHOST
12:28
Such a big history behind it.

Scott HaleHOST

Well, technically, Rom and Toy gave us new tires for our General Lee that is not even in production yet.
Thomas R. GrossGUEST
1:37
There may be kids that play with some toys and these toys have LEDs or some other light device and maybe they want to exchange some information or want to do something, want to enhance the playing experience.
Thomas R. GrossGUEST
1:51
So if you want to do that, you need communication.
Thomas R. GrossGUEST
1:55
So think maybe not so much Internet of Things, maybe think of an Internet of Toys, right, where you want to hook up all kinds of devices.
Thomas R. GrossGUEST
2:06
And what you have to deal with The problems you have to solve in that case
Thomas R. GrossGUEST
2:11
are very similar to the problems you have to solve if you deal
Thomas R. GrossGUEST
6:11
But the other part is that because they are semiconductors, you can switch them on and off at a very high frequency.
Thomas R. GrossGUEST
6:20
And that makes it possible to use these kind of devices as a basis for communication.
Thomas R. GrossGUEST
6:27
So, and then of course this all wouldn't be interesting if there wouldn't be a reasonable match of what visible light communication can provide and what an Internet of Things or Internet of Toys world might actually require.

And in 1978, Kenner released a one-to-one scale toy, calling it the Laser Pistol, with hand solo imagery to the front and rear of the box.
MartinGUEST
29:23
The toy was made from a durable black plastic with Star Wars logos to each side and produced a firing sound when the trigger was pulled in conjunction with depressing the secret button on the grip.
MartinGUEST
29:33
The pistol also went on to be released by Kenner Canada, Takara in Japan, Meccano in France, Toll Toys in Australia and Palatoy in the UK.
MartinGUEST
29:43
paletot release was particularly interesting as it saw the name of the product altered from laser pistol to blaster pistol but aside from a change in catalog number and battery name on the box everything else remained the same as the original us release kenner re-released solos pistol in 1980 with empire strike back branding and again in 1983 to coincide with return of the jedi in addition to the change of sticker logos on each side of the pistol These later releases sported some other small cosmetic changes.
MartinGUEST
30:15
The two knurled wheels which secured the battery compartment in place were now made of a light grey plastic whilst the trigger and secret button could be found in a light grey or red plastic.
