Skylanders Hot Dog Tattoo
It's still hard for me to comprehend how big Skylanders is. Roland Rogers, an uber-ultra-mega fan, got himself a Hot Dog Tattoo!
And check out his super rare collection on Forbes, look at those toy mistakes!!! Dear Roland, please send them back to us, and we'll be happy to replace them with perfect toys without errors!
Thanks Andy of Family Gamer TV!

Polygon video and interview
With the launch of Skylanders Giants, I've been busy with lots of interviews. Polygon decided that they want a story about me, and came to film me at work, as well as at home. I don't think I've ever been so flattered.... Ever. The video is beautifully shot and edited, and the article is full of my work and play.

Q&A with NBC News
Sometimes I get Skylanders interviewers asking a little about my Steam/Robot hobby, but this one got into the details, of the connection between the two for me! Interview with NBC News

GeekDad's Toys for Bob Interviews
Here are some great videos, and a really nice write up review on GeekDad. It's really great to show off the studio and who we are at Toys for Bob. Thanks to Andy for covering us from a personal level:

Skylanders Giants is much better than it might have been. Toys for Bob has returned with innovations, new characters and fresh gameplay. Being able to use your old characters, the toned-down approach to in-game advertising,and the light-up figures make this a great family game.
That much you may glean elsewhere, but what I want to highlight here is that this is a game and toy range from a set of artisans rather than a corporate committee. The care and attention of these individuals makes me happier for my children to spend time playing — not least because this has resulted in a whole range of imaginative play both in the game and in the real world.
Robert talking about the magic of tech, or is it the tech of magic?
Me talking about characters and toys:
