Ep. 281 Toys on Tap w/ Quang Le: The Collector that built a sofubi community part 1

Quang Le joins the show for part one of a two-part conversation about collecting, creativity, and the foundation that eventually led to Creature Bazaar.Before Creature Bazaar and SummerSlime, Quang was a lifelong toy collector shaped by Ninja Turtles, Transformers, Japanese robot cartoons, Asian market imports, punk shows, D&D, photography, fashion, and underground art culture.We talk about his early connection to toys, touring with The Aquabats, working in photography and fashion, discovering Japanese soft vinyl through Giant Robot and Super7, and eventually finding himself surrounded by artists, collectors, and makers who would help shape the modern sofubi scene.This episode is about community before business, collecting before creating, and the relationships that quietly build something bigger.On Instagram: @photosalaquangOn Instagram: @creature_bazaarThanks to Our SupportersRate & Review the Show!
