EPISODE 52 – Ken Baroff from Skybox

This week we welcome Ken Baroff, formerly of Impel/Skybox, and the “Father of the 9up” (or one of them anyway). Ken talks about how the early 90’s sets were planned, marketed and how the sets were designed with a ‘collector first’ mentality. Norrin squeals a fair bit and it was super awesome to hear some of the secret history of how Marvel Universe, Masterpieces and others were made. As ever, many images to view and our ‘tasting notes’ - featuring images we discuss - can be found via our Facebook page.
