privileged to sit next to him and watch that happen um it's not to be hyperbolic right but like you can't appreciate how good of a basketball player lebron is until you sit on the floor next to him and see how big he is and see how he moves and all that and it's kind of the same thing like i can't explain to you how good of a deal maker he is except that i sat next to him for a year and watched it and was just impressed every single day
All right, guys. Digital Social Hour with Josh Luber here today with a new company. Thanks for coming on, man. It's going to be a fun one. Thanks for having me. Yeah. So explain what's going on here. They look like bear bricks, right?
This is the best part. Now you have a company where I can actually put it on the table right here. You know, when we started StockX, I can't put the whole marketplace in front of the table.
if you're familiar with bear bricks bear bricks are the longest running most successful collectible toy franchise uh ghost right is an evolution of bear brick um ghosts like bears um there is no face there is no gender right it's a it's a blank canvas it can be whatever you want it to be we had a release last week that uh it was an nba basketball same three sizes bear brick which is two inches 11 inches kind of the standard and then the big one
But the new one coming out is a WNBA set. And I actually brought a couple of them, including, since we're in Vegas, Asia Wilson. Let's go. So this will be a big deal. This is the new one coming out. But short version is it's Evolution of Bearbrick. It's a collectible toy company. After running other much larger businesses, now I get to create a brand and create a product.
And so that's fun. I love it. Sounds like you're in your creative element. Hell yeah. Let's go. I'm a big Funko Pop collector, so you might have a new addiction for me to look into now.
Hell yeah, we can level you up from Funko Pop a little bit. Funko is wide and large. There's not a whole lot of super valuable Funkos yet. So it's good. But Funko, every single IP you could ever imagine. They do have a lot of... That's my only qualm with it. So many of them. So is there a specific category that you collect? Because you can't collect them all.
I started off just broad, but now I just collect the rare ones. So I won't collect the common ones. Because there's just too many. My whole wall in my media room, there's 500 Funkos. And so you're keeping them in the box. I keep them in the box. You have them graded by PSA. You know, PSA grades Funkos.
I didn't know they graded them, no. I have them in the box, but I don't take them out because they lose value.
