Do you like talking about toys?
Do you like watching guys who make toys talk about toys?
Do you love straight up fun?
Then get yourself down to WonderCon on Friday and join in the conversation!
Action Figure Insider has been doing panels at San Diego Comic con for ten years, and THIS year they are doing their first ever action figure panel at Wonder Con 2015! The panel is LOADED with great industry folks that are a blast to talk with. Come on out and listen as these toy industry folks talk to each other and swap stories as they only get to do maybe twice a year!
Here are the details:
Friday April 3, 2015 1:30pm – 2:30pm
Room 213
Are mass-market collector toys dying? The price of raw materials and costs of the production process continue to skyrocket. Action figures that were $7.99 five years ago are now in stores for over $20. At that price can you still be a “completist?” Is Kickstarter the better way to go for an up-and-coming toy company to get figures in the hands of collectors? Are toy collectors prepared for the onslaught of all of the new Star Wars figures that will come from the new movies? A panel of toy industry insiders and collectors examine just what is going on today and where it’s all going in the future.
Moderator Daniel Pickett (ActionFigureInsider.com, host of Geek Shall Inherit podcast) is joined by industry experts Justin Donaldson (collector, director, The Tournament of Nerds), Jim Fletcher and Kevin Kiniry (DC Collectibles) Jason Lenzi (co-founder, Bif Bang Pow!), Scott Neitlich (director of play, Jakks Pacific, collector), Jeff Trojan (Playmates Toys) and David Vonner (senior designer/product manager Spin Master) to talk toys and answer your questions.
