As you’re settling in to gobble some turkey (or not, if that’s not your thing), chances are you’re thinking about hitting the stores for some great deals on Black Friday. And when it comes to collectibles and cool pop culture merch, independent retailers tend to scratch that itch in a big way.
While it wasn’t supposed to arrive until tomorrow, the new season of A Toy Store Near You is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video and The Pop Insider and The Toy Book have your exclusive first look at the trailer. Check it out below!
A Toy Store Near You is produced by The Nacelle Co., the studio behind The Toys That Made Us (Netflix), Behind The Attraction (Disney+), and the recent Icons Unearthed (Vice TV).
“This show is an ode to the incredible, hardworking individuals worldwide that keep the toy industry alive and well,” says Nacelle Co. Founder and CEO Brian Volk-Weiss. “A show like this doesn’t exist without them!”
At Comic-Con International: San Diego (SDCC) this summer, Volk-Weiss spoke with us regarding the company’s entry into the competitive — and litigious — toy industry.
A TOY STORE NEAR YOU SEASON 5 INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING STORES:
- Earth to Kentucky | Covington, Kentucky
- Empire Toys | Keller, Texas
- Tardy’s Collector’s Corner | Grand Rapids, Michigan
- The Imperial Castle Toy Shop | Pawling, New York
- House of Plastik | Cincinnati, Ohio
Beyond its entertainment projects, The Nacelle Co. has been hard at work establishing a toy division that will offer products for kids and kidults. Early projects include Legends of Laughter; a reboot of Ideal Toys’ Robo Force, featuring updated versions of the 1980s’ Maxx 89 (formerly Maxx Steele) and Wrecker; a relaunch of Revell’s Power Lords; a reboot of Coleco’s Sectaurs; and two original kid-focused brands, Garden Surprise and Big Bad Battle Caps.
