Guest: Action Figure Designer (G.I. Joe, Star Wars, MCU), Boss Fight Studio Founder & Partner Erik Araña

Officially licensed action figures have played a role in the lives of millions and millions (dare we say billions) of kids and adults worldwide. Erik Araña spend the first part of his career in collectibles working on iconic Hasbro lines including G.I. Joe, Star Wars and MCU films. Then, he and a few of his fellow former Hasbro coworkers founded their own company, Boss Fight Studio, and have since sought to fill the holes in the toy industry not filled by other companies. Whether for collectors or kids Boss Fight Studio dares to tread, and deliver details, beyond what you've seen before. We talk about Erik's personal journey, what it's like working on official products based on both fictional and real life characters (or in the case of the MCU, a blend of both) and how Masked Republic and Boss Fight Studio came together for Legends of Lucha Libre figures and collectibles.
