Anime Declassified Podcast – Mission 62 – Live from Comicpalooza 2023: Toy Stories and the Universe of Play Panel

This past weekend was Comicpalooza 2023 in Houston, Texas. While attending the Saturday of the convention, Rizwan was invited by the organizers of Nerd Con and friends to join their panel entitled Toy Stories and the Universe of Play to discuss all the cool toy lines throughout the 80s and 90s. This was a very fun experience to relive tales of our youth while engaging the audience to also take part in our conversation.
