MAY THE 4TH GEEKI TIKI PARTY | STAR WARS TOYS AND COLLECTABLES
Q: What prevented or delayed certain characters from being produced?

MAY THE 4TH GEEKI TIKI PARTY | STAR WARS TOYS AND COLLECTABLES
Q: How much input do you have in what gets produced?
Brandon explains that he ultimately decides what gets made, with style guides from Disney but a lot of autonomy in this niche, allowing for quick experimentation and unique takes.
THE JOHNNY GOOSE INTERVIEW | VINTAGE STAR WARS TOYS
Q: What keeps you focused on Vader and the types of pieces you chase?
He describes Vader as central to his collecting identity, the appeal of iconic visuals, and his strategy of building a wide, varied Vader-focused run including cards, vintage and modern pieces, bootlegs, and related promotional items.
THE JOHNNY GOOSE INTERVIEW | VINTAGE STAR WARS TOYS
Q: When did your collecting start and what drew you to Star Wars originally?
He explains growing up in Liverpool, initial exposure to Star Wars in the early 1980s, and how toy collecting evolved alongside the prequels and later social communities; the passion began with childhood memories and expanded into a serious hobby with the late 1990s and 2000s collecting scene.
