In this week’s episode of the “Power Kid Podcast,” host Phil Albritton of Power Kid Design welcomes Bill Nichols and Peter Cmiel of Blip Toys to the show.
On the show, the Blip Toys duo explains how some decisions they made early in their careers guided them to where they are today. The conversation veers toward the success of the Squinkies collectible line and the Zoom-O Disc Launcher. Nichols also unpacks the deal that found several Toys “R” Us private label toy brands a new home at Target. Finally, Nicols and Cmiel serve up a look ahead with this week’s launch of Zip Linx and GigaBots, to new toy brands that will be shown at the Toy Insider’s Sweet Suite event.
