Episode 53 is a Friday night special, with special guest Matt Sonnenberg joining Jason and Josh for yet another episode of the Toys For Games ‘Cast! They start off talking about the First Annual Toys For Games Awards, followed up by a chat about Matt’s new, upcoming project, Collection Crossing.
When the trio of collectors finally get down to the news, they discuss the release of the Shovel Knight amiibo, the continuing great sales for LEGO Dimensions, JV trolling Disney Infinity fans, and the upcoming Skylanders Day. Jim Dough, a baker from New Zealand, also gives everyone a complete breakdown of the new Skylanders Battlecast card game.
The #CommunityQuestion asks about buyer’s remorse, and the Inquire This! trivia question challenges both experts on the lore of Skylanders characters. And as always, a few emails to round off the show, including a great video from a loyal fan that has to be seen to be believed! (Don’t worry, Jason and Matt do their best to describe the action!)
Thank you, to all of you wonderful fans and supporters of Toys For Games throughout the year. We love each and every one of you. Cheers, to 2016!

Josh and Jason are back up to their normal antics, tossing aside the regular show format and talking about collecting non toys-to-life instead for one night. They start off the show on a weird tangent, but quickly get going by talking about December’s Loot Crate and Marvel Collector Corps (CORE) subscription boxes. Then, they break down some upcoming Funko Pop! figure releases, and express their continued disappointment in Tom’s Hobby Shop.
Finally, when the inevitable Tsum Tsum segment takes place, a VERY special guest joins the show to not only talk about Tsum Tsum Tuesday, but more importantly, brag about how great her “blind bag feel game” is. Eventually we get to some listener questions to wrap up the episode. And oh, what an episode it was!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, VAL! I LOVE YOU, AND THANK YOU FOR BEING THE BEST PARTNER I COULD EVER ASK FOR.
