Today on a special Extra Edition of Talkin' Troma, we chat with Super7 founder and owner Brian Flynn. Super7 has been producing collectibles based on The Toxic Avenger and Toxic Crusaders for years, with its latest ULTIMATES! Glow in the Dark Radiation Ranger debuting this weekend at New York Comic-Con 2023. We chat about future plans for the toy line, his favorite character designs, Toxie's unique appeal, the culture of the toy business, and much more in this exclusive interview.Super7 is a premier pop-culture design house and producer of lifestyle-oriented collectibles, toys and apparel based in San Francisco. Super7 has harnessed the graphics, aesthetics and energy of his youthful obsession with science fiction, giant monsters, comic books, punk rock, skateboarding, robots and rebellion to build a unique and innovative business that crosses all categories and is not bound by traditional manufacturing boundaries.The company released their first ReAction figure based on the Toxic Avenger in 2017. Toxie made his debut as one of the very first Ultimates! figures in 2019 along with a wave of ReAction Figures based on the Toxic Crusaders. An expanded Ultimates line for Toxic Crusaders followed in 2022.Mentioned in this episode:Glow in the Dark Radiation Ranger ULTIMATES! Figure (NYCC Variant) from Super7Hosted by Chris Lanphear.

Shannon Curtis has been making music for 25 years—first, as the front-woman for a Christian-lite rock band in her twenties while a pastor’s wife, then as a chanteuse divorcée composing broken-hearted love songs after leaving both her marriage and her religion.In the last decade—as a result of constant house concert touring—Shannon developed both a passionate underground following and also an album-based songwriting style, centered around taking her audiences on intentional journeys of personal growth, connection, and healing.This remains true on her new 80s-inspired synthpop album, Good to Me, the animating questions behind which are: how will empathetic people survive the troubles of this time? And how we can rescue our overburdened spirits from overlapping disasters such as rising fascism and climate collapse? Shannon offers Good to Me as both a soundtrack and rallying cry for every person who knows that healing ourselves is the first step in healing the world.Connect with Shannon:Shannon's Love Letter ListStream Good to MeShannon's websiteMisfit StarsInstagramMastodonSponsored by Audible.
