In Episode 22 of Thursdeighties, we'll dive into the world of toys, collectibles, and pop culture with Barry Eldridge, Creative Director at Factory Entertainment!

If you grew up in the 80s, chances are the toys you loved still hold a special place in your heart...well, Barry has made a career out of channeling that nostalgia into beautiful, well-crafted high-end prop replicas, action figures, and other imaginative collectibles. He will share stories about the creative process behind designing pieces that strike the perfect balance between authenticity and fun, and why the cultural touchstones of the 1980s continue to inspire new generations of fans and makers alike.

From the thrill of unboxing your favorite childhood toy to the craftsmanship that goes into recreating it decades later, this episode is all about why play still matters...and how the 80s left a mark on pop culture that’s as enduring as the toys themselves.
