I know it’s pedantic, and no one actually cares, but just listening through this on a second pass, and paying more attention, and figured I should point that out.

Without turning into a “well actually” guy, I feel the need to point out that skybound, and image are actually two separate companies, and while Kirkman is an owner and partner of both, image is a different entity with a separate management structure.

Just finished the House of Dynamite episode and searched the internet for best options to have the 30th anniversary Buzz and Woody delivered. Found this site, and they seem pretty reliable. Happy (toy) hunting!
