Ep. 252 Toys on Tap w/ Mecha Virus: Kaiju, Customs, and Comebacks

We sit down with Mechavirus for a fast-moving dive into his journey from Boston street art to kaiju customs to full-on vinyl production. Todd talks returning to the scene, the rise of DIY toy studios, and the spark behind his robot-meets-steampunk aesthetic. He breaks down early factory struggles, how tech changed the game, and why U.S. vinyl production is finally leveling up. Todd also teases his newest project, The Watchers, blending humanoid and mech forms. A killer look at creativity, craft, and reinvention.On Instagram: @mechavirusThis Episode is Sponsored by: Empire Blisters – Your go-to source for blister packaging!
