Strong Collectors
by Dakota Phillips & Jordan Fash
It's time to talk toys. Your hosts, Dakota and Jordan, are two grown men who never lost their love for action figures. With our years combined, we’ve been collecting for nearly half a century. However, we noticed there aren’t nearly enough podcasts about toys so we decided to make one. While we mainly discuss Marvel Legends, we aren’t afraid to wade into DC Multiverse, Spawn, NECA, Star Wars Black Series, and whatever other lines we can’t resist. So please, pop in your earbuds, open up the toy box, and nerd out with us. And, as always, stay strong!
