I am excited about this latest interview I have for you. For those of you who have been following me, you may remember when I interviewed Brian Volk-Weiss for the Netflix series The Toys That Made Us for the site Somewhatnerdy. Well, because of the contacts I made during that interview, I was able to get an interview with the Nacelle Company about their newly announced toy division. I hope you enjoy this edition of Talking Toys.
DERF: May I ask, what is your name and what is your position at the Nacelle Company?
RICHARD: Richard Mayerik, VP of Content Strategy
How long has the Nacelle Company been in existence?
Since 2017
What projects may we know the Nacelle Company from?
The Toys That Made Us, The Movies That Made Us (Netflix) Behind the Attraction (Disney+), Down To Earth (Netflix), The Center Seat (History Channel), A Toy Store Near You (Amazon Prime)
Because of my past interviews with CEO Brian Volk-Weiss, I was lucky enough to get an email discussing the launch of your toy division. What led to this development?
An evolution of the pop-culture brand established by Nacelle Company through shows such as The Toys That Made Us and A Toy Store Near You.
I also received an email discussing the Nacelle Toy Stores of the World Passport. I think it is a cool concept. For those who may not have heard about your World Passport system, please briefly explain how it works.
The Toy Store Passport Program connects toy stores across the world by offering customers the chance to buy a passport booklet at any participating store, and receive a unique store specific passport stamp from every Passport Program store they visit.
Will there be any online stores available? Like a unique transparent sticker stamp that you could place in your passport when the product arrives.
Stay tuned!
In doing my research for this article, I discover that you are working with Super 7 and Funko for some projects. What projects might we have seen and not realized had the Nacelle Company involvement?
The Emerald City Comic Con exclusive Great Garloo Funko Pop was the first of many planned collaborations between Nacelle and companies such as Funko, Super7, etc.
I also read, that you gained rights to Robo Force and Power Lords, when can we except to see items from these brands?
Wave 1 of our Robo Force action figure line will be up for pre-order later this Spring. Expect to find these figures available at many of your favorite online and physical retailers. Expect to see first looks at our new Power Lords action figure line later this year, along with other exciting toy-lines yet to be announced!
I cannot wait, Power Lords and Robo Force were some of my favorite toys as a child. Has the Nacelle Company acquired anymore licenses or rights to other projects since your last announcement?
Stay tuned!
What is next in line and ready to be released from your wonderful company?
Robo Force Wave 1 is up next, along with some more aforementioned toy-related collaborations, as well as Season 5 of A Toy Store Near You!
