Today, we're speaking with the man responsible for that line, Ben Robinson. Ben is the head of Hero Collector, a division of Eaglemoss, and has been the man behind their Star Trek, Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica, WWE, Aliens, Ghostbusters, Marvel and DC figure collections, among other licenses. He's also an author of over a dozen books on Star Trek, including a new one being released this holiday season. Ben discusses growing up in England and what led him towards writing, working on the Star Trek Fact Files and Official Star Trek Magazines, and some memorable moments from interviews with cast members. We also learn about the process behind making the Hero Collector starship line and chat about the toy industry to see why Trek toys seem to struggle in big chain stores. A slew of new books just came out, and we talk about them, including "Star Trek Nerd Search: Quibbles with Tribbles," "Star Trek Cocktails," "Mr. Spock's Little Book of Mindfulness," and Ben's latest book "Star Trek Voyager: A Celebration." Plus, a look at an unproduced Hero Collector product, and what are the plans for Hero Collector in 2021 with Star Trek? We have a tease for something massive on the horizon that's about to be announced, and we have the first bit of info about it. See less
