Pod 187: Collecting with Toy Polloi

Ever been scared to play with a vintage toy? Nervous to try to fix an old Dinky? Dave of the YouTube channel Toy Polloi shares his philosophy that toys were made to be played with! In the world of collecting, Dave recommends doing whatever provides one with the most enjoyment– as toys don't last forever! Plus, he reveals the Holy Grail of Anderson toys, tips for beginning collecting, and explains how the senses play into the nostalgic experience. It's 2022, but the Gerry Anderson Podcast still has all your favourites like the Randomiser, FAB Facts, and the latest news!

Playing Officer Orrin in Gerry Anderson's last live action series 'Space Precinct' clearly wasn't enough to put Richard off the worlds of Gerry Anderson!

As well as co-hosting the Gerry Anderson Podcast and the almost-monthly Facebook, Twitch, Periscope and Youtube broadcast, FabLive, Richard has also taken parts in the audio series 'Terrahawks' and the pilot minisode for the forthcoming 'Gerry Anderson's Firestorm'.
