Yeah - this gave me very little hope on finishing Thunderbolts. And, of course, neither interviewer FOLLOWED UP AT ALL. Ryan opened the door!

You just hit the nail on the head of what was bugging me during this entire interview - zero follow up. They were too busy trying to get through all the people who paid for questions instead of really dissecting some interesting topics.
The bearded guy wasn't really listening to Ryan, just placating the paid viewers.
Bobby, on the other hand was listening very closely but keeping himself in check. You could see the pain all over his face of wanting to comment on everything, but not.

Wasn't Dwight his boss?

The move to Massachusetts: I did a very brief google search on Chris Cox. I saw that he's originally from Ohio, but he did go to Harvard, which is in Massachusetts. Now the company is moving to Massachusetts. Coincidence? Does he live there/have family there? Would he uproot an entire company to just be closer to home/family/the state he went to college?

It takes barely over an hour to drive from Hasbro HQ to Boston, so I sure hope that's not why!
 
I think I found my Volcana base body at a much better price than one I had on pre-order. Curvy and 6.8" tall kinda perfectly matches her. Just $29. 5K verified the clothes are removable.

Who is the other commentator? Is he a collector or is/was he in the toy making biz?

Maaan. 'Artist' and 'medieval' are doing a fucking ton of heavy lifting here.

I appreciate everyone's breakdown. I did not even attempt to watch/listen myself, because Ryan would have been the only guy on there that isn't a complete dipshit loser, and I'd probably jam my head in a microwave if I tried to listen to neckbeard and Hasbro's ex-girlfriend for more than five or six minutes. Not surprising it was mostly a wasted venture anyway. Ryan deserves a better class of people to chat with, that's for sure.
 
Also, for the record, nothing about Bob's action figures are unique to Bob. He didn't invent or redesign anything. His figures are 100% existing engineering. So.... big loser talk from big loser mouth.
 
Super weird he went on there of all places. I would have imagined Boog or Toy Anxiety.

Bobby interviewed him, according to their chat, but it didn't sound like a superior interview and more like those peer interviews you sometimes have to go through several of.

There was also a weird bit when they were talking about their office being jammed with toys and disorganized, which I relate to, but then Bobby pointed out everyone else was women and women wouldn't be into toys, and I don't know.... It was weird.

I'm going to get screenshot and shared and tried by the Discords for this. I'll have to order a Valaverse figure in the next year and maybe I'll get one of his handwritten thank yous.
 
I can imagine Bobbers interviewing someone sounds like "Okay, now name the top five things you think I do better than other toy companies, and as an aside feel free to tell me if you happened to see Hasbro hanging out with like.. any other designers or anything, and if you think it looked serious."

They both love Gambit so that was the interview. Per their chat here. Back when Gambit was Not Allowed.
Which we all know there was some sort of Disney Fox X-Men exile going on, but that's the kind of background I would have liked to hear more of.
 
Ryan talked about it a bit and confirmed Mephisto was forbidden for awhile. Because Dwight basically called him the devil in the meeting and the higher-up just said no, forever on the spot. Bobby didn't like that. Again, no real follow-ups and Ryan dodged who else might be on the not-in-existence not list.

I finished the stream and bad news: Ryan said anyone looking forward to Armor is probably going to be waiting awhile. And he didn't sound like he was playing, so it sounds like there is little interest and Hasbro hasn't even attempted to prototype her.
