In my years of being a Kaiju fan, few people have impacted me positively in the way that the Russo family has and continues to do. From just buying their toys at auction, to cementing longstanding friendship and acquaintance with the family, I have deeply enjoyed seeing the progression of their lives and businesses from afar. Led fearlessly by AJ Russo, I have seen “Kaiju Live” explode, from humble beginnings as a live show recorded on a tablet in the living room, to a full-on branded show, full of content, discussions, and even a working backdrop set. Not only has AJ turned Kaiju Live into his own staple in the kaiju figure community, but he has also branched out and collaborated with other toy designers, with his venture into Spiral Toy being a highlight for us at Kaiju United. We are not the first to interview AJ by a long shot, seeing as he’s active in the community and talks to everybody that comes across his page, but we are proud to be one of the first to discuss the Spiral Toy story, and how that all came to be.
So read on, and learn about the Kaiju Live ventures, the struggles and challenges behind making content, and overcoming the odds into success. AJ has proven time and time again that he is willing to explore, adapt, and challenge himself personally to be a successful, driven person. But the man behind Kaiju Live is much more than just a driven businessman and content creator. He’s a family-focused individual, truly loving Godzilla because of the experiences and bonds he creates with his father in doing so, and that’s something special and irreplaceable. It’s of worthy highlight when we reach out to the community for our interviews with them.
To sum it all up, AJ loves community as much as Kaiju United does. For me personally, I remember going to G-FEST 2019 and meeting up with the Russos finally, after buying their figures for months. We all got together for a dinner with the community, and I was completely *shocked* to learn that they paid for the entire thing. That’s truly some monumental love for not only the kaiju fandom and community at large, but the folks that have followed and supported his efforts.
I am proud to debut this interview with AJ Russo, and I hope readers enjoy, and learn about the man that has had such an impact on Kaiju United.
Interview
Jacob Lyngle -Interviewer, Bold
AJ Russo – Interviewee, Italics
Hello, everyone! I’m here with AJ Russo, one of the key minds behind Kaiju Live, co-host of The Square Table, and proprietor behind Spiral Toy!
Thanks for having me!
I did want to start out with some easy, general fandom stuff. How did AJ get into kaiju? What was the genesis point for your love of Godzilla?
Well, legend has it that my parents, when I was still in the belly of the beast, saw Godzilla 1985 in theaters. And apparently, when Godzilla roared, I kicked. That’s, that’s the story that I was told. So, I think that’s where it’s subconsciously started. Like a lot of fellow fans, as a kid, I was always fascinated with dinosaurs Collecting, for me started when I was somewhere under 10 years old. My grandmother took us to this mall in New Jersey, and within there was this comic book shop. I don’t remember the name but they had a bunch of the original Bandai Godzilla figures. Up until then I only had the Imperial Godzilla, but my first real collectible was an original 8-inch Gigan from Bandai.
I also can’t bring up my history with Godzilla collectibles without my mentioning my dad Frank. He dug Godzilla because of all the models and miniatures but then when I got into it, it just became this huge bonding experience for us where we both just loved it. So that started me on the Godzilla / kaiju path. Then, obviously in 1998, you couldn’t really go anywhere without coming across a Godzilla display. Places such as Toys R Us were filled with Trendmasters toys, whether it was GINO (Godzilla 1998) or the main line classic stuff.
I always hear those legends, because as you know, I just turned 25 this year. I was born the same year as Godzilla 98, so I didn’t quite experience that 90’s Godzilla boom. For example, a while back, I talked to Tyler Sowles, and he was like, “Oh man, the 90s were so cool dude, there were Trendmasters and Godzilla figures everywhere!” I wish I got to see that; it sounds like it was a fun era!
It really was but you are kind of getting the same thing currently. Nowadays, you can walk into stores, and you’ll see Playmates, Funko, Super7, Mezco, and S.H. MonsterArts, in terms of figures, so there’s more Godzilla collectible toys here in the US than there’s ever been. It is a little different though because we don’t have places like Toys R Us, KB Toys, or any of the cool, specialized toy stores. I remember going to Toys R Us and just seeing a gigantic Godzilla section with isles of toys on display and as kid you were like, oh my god this is this is it! This is the best thing ever!
Isn’t it interesting that they haven’t done that for any of the big Hollywood MonsterVerse movies yet? Of course, we have the Playmates brand figures, but they’re just kind of tucked away in the collectibles section, at least at my Target. There’s never been a huge Godzilla fixture like in the G98 photos I’ve seen.
I really do hope Toys R Us comes back, man. Toys R Us basically went out of business when I just became a dad. My daughter has never experienced that joy of walking into a giant toy store that sells nothing but toys. Not like Walmart or Target that sells kind of everything. Just pure toys. So hopefully one day that happens again!
I know they’re doing these pop-up shops in Macy’s, but I feel like it isn’t the same at all.
It’s not the same experience, its more like a little corner store. Maybe they’ll bring it back. Toys R Us is still around in Canada.
Hope so!
What was your first Godzilla film? After the figures and everything.
Honestly, many of them blur together for me. Godzilla Vs. Hedorah was the one I remember having my dad rent from Blockbuster all the time as a kid.. One of the coolest things for me growing up, was that my grandmother was a Sci-FI nut. Because of her, I was watching some horror stuff I most likely should not have been watching at that age, but I’m not kidding when I say she watched only the Sci Fi Channel. I caught several marathons alongside the Blockbuster rentals!

That was totally me and the 50th Anniversary Sony DVDs. Great origins of AJ’s fandom!
For those that don’t know, AJ has a site/group/channel called Kaiju Live. For a long time, AJ and his father, Frank Russo, carried out livestreamed auctions of various Godzilla and other monster collectible figures and toys. Can you tell us a little bit about how that all began?
Once upon a time, back when eBay was king for selling collectible merchandise, my dad had Kaiju Collectibles, an online store on the site. He was doing that for a couple years, and I was a teen at the time but we deeply enjoyed our shared love of collecting. It was always cool coming home, and having Dad be like “Look what I got in today!”. Eventually, business slowed down a bit, and he had some leftover inventory. He was looking for new ways to clear some of it out and stumbled across a live model train Facebook auction. And thus, the iPad Era of Kaiju Live was born Haha. I would tune in, hype my dad up, talk about some of the figures he has displayed on stream, and just overall support.
One Christmas, I was like “Hey dad, what if I helped? We could make this into a bigger thing.” I used to run fighting game tournaments and host livestreams for them before it got super crazy with eSports so, I was very familiar with streaming and still had some descent hardware and software on hand. And then it became this wild thing. I remember when I joined the show, I think we had maybe 10-15 live viewers whereas now we typically average around 50 and have cracked 100 a few times!
I recall my first Kaiju Live stream being the YouTube channel debut show! It’s way cool to see how far it’s come. What’s the process of evolving Kaiju Live been like?
We started out with the iPad that I mentioned earlier, and now we always have two cameras, two microphones, the works. Honestly, I’m a perfectionist… one of my favorite quotes is “Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence.” from Vince Lombardi..” That quote has always stuck with me, so I am always criticizing the living hell out of myself, like, what could I have done better? What could look better? My dad always jokes about this, he’s like, “oh, take it easy, Mr. Spielberg!” haha But it’s just me operating it with my dad. There’s no Joe Rogan guy behind the scenes pulling everything up and producing the show.
This is now the fourth year of Kaiju Live and it’s grown from a live auction show to adding www.kaijulive.shop where we take pre-orders on most new releases as well as exclusives. The YouTube channel had taken a bit of a backseat lately due to the simultaneous growth of the shop and me having two kiddos within this timeframe but we’re finding a balance!
That was my next question pertaining to the Kaiju Live online store. So, if you carried, let’s say, S.H. MonsterArts, do they keep the inventory there and just ship it somewhere? How does that work?
AJ Russo
I wish! But no, everything comes to my garage. What got interesting was beginning to do it full-time. I had unfortunately lost my career during the pandemic, so I thought to myself, hey, screw it, I’m gonna work for myself. The challenges that come with not only being a small and independent business, but also an online store in a very niche market is very present. I’m sure others who operate in this fandom can relate. For example, you can’t just *ignore* the competition that has free shipping on certain items.
Personally, going into this, I have a sales background as I have been in the electrical industry for almost two decades and was an Inside Sales Manager for about half of that time. Quoting projects, cold calls and answering hundreds of emails daily I applied everything I knew into something I loved, and its worked out so far!
The channel itself and the auctions slowed down a bit as we blew up. I also didn’t want to continue doing KL auctions without my dad’s presence. His health has been up and down, so I wait to do it when he’s around. That’s our thing, as father and son. It just felt weird doing it without him. I was like, what’s the point? Plus, my schedule just started changing very rapidly as my family grew and I got a new full-time job back in the electrical industry. Also, this new Sofubi division called Spiral Toy that I am a co-owner and project manager for under Spiral Studios!
I always think of Frank and AJ when Kaiju Live is brought up. It’s always you guys. It’s wonderful that you share that together. I hope they return!
The plan is to have them the first Sunday night of every month now. Stay tuned!
So recently, you’ve had this “The Square Table” project. Being a long-time Kaiju Live follower, it was cool to see. I was like, wow, AJ has a podcast now!
It’s funny how when you asked me about a podcast, I didn’t really think about it being one but you’re right it totally is haha. It’s this casual discussion show where I can talk about anything that my co-host and I are interested in. I’ve loved a lot of different things as I’ve grown up — from video games, Marvel, DC, whatever. I can talk about it all. The New York Jets are sucking this season again? New Batman media? Lets hit record!
Makes sense to me. The name “Kaiju Live” is ripe with opportunity. Anything streamed, not just live auctions.
Coming back now, things are less hectic. My second daughter is almost a year old. But I finally feel like I have found that balance in my life now where work is normal. I feel like I’m in a good place where I can still have fun doing the things that I want to do while not feeling like oh, I should be doing something work-related right now. There was a point where I came home from work just to work again, and that wasn’t enjoyable at all to say the least. I want to love what I do, at least when its Kaiju related haha.
I relate that aspect to the website. I enjoy doing these community and special guest interviews. Gotta have fun doing it, or it’s not worth it!
For those not familiar, who’s your co-host on the square table?
Evandro is one of my good friends for almost 20 years now. When we did “episode 0” of the show, he was amongst my dear friends that I had asked to be on it. We had him, Nick Sydes, and Kevin Smith all together for the premiere episode. There was no “co-host” at that time it was supposed to be a 4-person panel discussion show on current topics. Unfortunately, with us living in New York, and Nick and Kevin in California, scheduling a three-hour show consistently was a challenge. So, when I wanted to bring this Square Table thing back, I was really inspired by what Pat McAfee does for his show. Have you heard of him?
Oh yeah, I like his show. I got super into wrestling during the pandemic, especially the history and quirks of the business. I’m not much of a football guy, but his wrestling stuff is awesome.
Hell yeah! Glad to hear you dig him too. I was inspired by him, the format of bringing that chill vibe and it’s just you and the boys doing a show. Half the time he’s wearing a tank top, drinking beers, and smoking cigars… like they’re just shooting the sh*t!! It’s still a well-produced show though, there’s so much effort put into them. I really liked seeing what he came up with. Of course, I’m not a millionaire from the Colts with a bunch of money to create my own facility, but we got to start somewhere. Aha
Because it’s hard to have four people every week, I was like, Evandro is super local to me, and after asking him to co-host with me, we decided that it would be us two as mainstays, and then we could have some guest people on when their schedules line up! Each broadcast is broken up into segments, and we try and have 3-5 on every show. These could be event coverages, special talks with people like Octeel that are actively doing things in the community, or just figure unboxings. The other thing that I love about the show; it’s always relevant and up to date. We did the Kong: Skull Island anime when that dropped on Netflix. Wonderfest just happened too. With the Square Table, everything’s always going to be something current, which I love.
It’s much better than trying to meet a content quota, which is one of the most challenging things about running a channel or being a content creator. With the Square Table, the content kind of creates itself because something new is always happening, especially in my fields of interest, because let’s be real, I like everything. Haha. It’s easy to be like, “oh, man, Mortal Kombat 1. You see that trailer?” Let’s talk about it ! It’s cool to be able to have that flexibility. And then with those segments I’ll reach out to some of my friends in the community to see if they’d like to hop on! It’s a lot easier to book someone for just 30 -45 minutes of their time as opposed to asking them for three whole hours of their life on Sunday night. I’m happy with the channel right now, and I’m loving our format. Evandro is a long-time, huge friend of mine, so it’s great to basically bring what he and I would talk about in my dining room, at the movies, or during the backyard BBQ into a space where we can just hit record and go.
It sounds like you’re having a blast with this!
It’s a lot of fun. And the best part is, like I said, it doesn’t feel like work. And that’s I think one of the best things is when you know when you can just have fun and enjoy doing what you’re doing. Hopefully, it manifests itself into some kind of income too. That always helps. But if it doesn’t, at least I’m still just having fun and you know, it’s good to look at it as a release or therapy in a sense of like, hey, yeah, Sunday night, we’re just talking nerd stuff and unwinding.
I’m trying to find that balance myself. I can say I’m a workaholic, and love to just go, go, go. Sometimes I got to remind myself to stop and smell the roses, and just enjoy being with the community and sitting down with friends like you. I think that’s a universal experience, really. When you’re passionate about something on the side, you kind of make it your second job, even if you’re not making money from it.
Just find that balance and know it will take time. If I can offer any advice, to you, or to anybody reading this, just know, every idea that you have in your head, you don’t have to do. I had so many ideas in my head that I wanted to bring to life, and I wanted to try to incorporate all of them. It’s fun at the start, but now you’re just adding extra stress. Say you have your dartboard or your bulletin board of like the 10 ideas that you really want to do. Just try to laser focus on like, three of them. Then, see which one’s really working and then which ones are not, and then just kind of plug and play, and be like, this one’s not really getting a lot of traction, or people don’t seem to really be as interested in this as I thought they would. Let me plug that one out with one of my other ideas, and eventually, you’ll find that formula that works. And, you know, someday that lightning in a bottle moment will come where you’re like, man, how the hell did I not think of this sooner?
I think that perfectly segways into our next discussion. Kaiju Live has been doing exclusive figures now! Before we dive into Spiral Toy, how did the original Kaiju Live Exclusives happen?
AJ Russo
I always thought that you were only as good as your next preorder, so I wanted to take the next step and create Kaiju Live Exclusive figures. Especially Sofubi, which is a fancy word for Japanese soft vinyl. So, like, at that time, I had reached out to a bunch of companies. HOP Toys is the first that comes to mind. Those guys are true OG, they were there from the very beginning. They did our exclusive Ro-Man figure! (That’s the monster from the infamous 1953 film Robot Monster, for our readers.) We also did a figure of our mascot for Kaiju Live, cleverly named Evil Ujiak.
Basically, I just kept reaching out to various toymakers and companies to get more exclusives for KL, and ultimately, I saw that the gentleman running Marmit was making Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors. That’s one of my all-time favorite movies! I love musicals a ton, and people may find that surprising but I adore em’. Little Shop is up there for me, probably top 5. I love that alternate ending too, where it’s just basically a kaiju film in the finale. So, I reached out to Marmit and took my shot. Hey, I run this small company based in New York, we love Audrey/Little Shop, and would love to be able to offer your release and possibly have an exclusive colorway. To this day I still can’t believe it happened!
What led to Spiral Toy? I know Spiral Studio was making those big statue figures beforehand.
When Spiral Studio dropped that teaser image for the Burning Godzilla with the huge attachable Mothra wings I was like, this is the coolest freakin’ thing I’ve ever seen! During this time, this is when I first started doing live chats on the channel so when I saw my good friend Matt Franks name attached, I reached out in hopes to schedule a live chat with the man behind Spiral Studio. This was one of the craziest concepts I’ve ever seen, and they also were putting out this King Ghidorah 2019 with a 4 ft wingspan, just insane concepts.
I will forever be grateful and indebted to Matt Frank as he introduced the two of us, and we just hit it off! Man, it was incredible, talking toy concepts and all the potential pipelines! I initially pitched him a whole line of Kaiju Live exclusives that I personally wanted to see and fund. I love that this always tracks back to Kaiju Live. haha
What were some of the ideas that you wanted to see happen with this pitch?
Funny enough, the Sofubi market has exploded nowadays. You have companies like PassionTank, Sarujirushi, M1 etc etc. But when I pitched this back in 2020, most Godzilla Sofubi figures that were released were reissues of older molds, mostly from Medicom Godzilla Vinyl Wars.. There was nothing *truly* new when this idea was being born, and I just wanted to see something fresh and new in the Sofubi world.
Now that you point it out, before the Sofubi explosion, it was pretty tame like ten years ago when I first began figure collecting.
Right. Everything was some kind of reissue. I got to thinking about what I would like to see as a figure collector. I was like, I’m a huge fan of the Hollywood MonsterVerse. No one’s done a Godzilla 2019. Like, how cool would that be? Why don’t I try to do a G19? So, it was a lighting in the bottle / stars all aligned kind of moment and here we are with a G19 sculpted by legendary Masami Yamada and produced by Kazumitsu Akamatsu of Marmit. Very honored to have been able to have the G19 sofubi completely made and produced in Japan!
The first 10 test pulls were on black vinyl. It was truly the first one that I put together, so this is like my trophy boy that I’ll never give up. And then obviously, the first release was special. We like our glitters and glows here at Kaiju Live and Spiral Toy. The first wave of these are translucent glitters to kick off with a bang! It’s so wild like, as a kid that walked into a comic bookstore one day and bought a Gigan figure, and now you send me that photo of your friends at G-FEST all holding that figure I helped make happen… it’s so crazy. It’s such an amazing feeling.
I was like, wait a second here. We got three of them. AJ’s gotta see this!
We had five at the show, so you had almost all of them together! Diane at Clawmark Toys was nice enough to have some at her table. We wanted people to be able to see them in person and be like, oh, what is that? That’s Spiral Toy? I gotta have that!
The idea behind Spiral Toy was to be a celebration of talent from East to West. There are so many talented people that contribute to the Godzilla fandom that we want to work with. We’re already collaborating with Matt Frank on an event exclusive G19 header card! We also locked in Bob Eggleton for header card artwork for our upcoming Godzilla 1965 figure. Such an incredible force of talent.
Bob is my favorite artist, period. I love everything he does. Kaiju, Dragons, landscapes, lighthouses. All of it. Did you see his new blu-ray cover for The Whale God? Totally unrelated, but man, what a guy. I can’t wait to see his Godzilla 1965 card!
For me, Matt, Bob and Art Adams are the holy trinity of American Godzilla artists. I grew up with Dark Horse Godzilla comics which Bob had also done some cover artwork for. Then at my first GFest in Chicago, Matt Frank had this Godzilla Vs. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but the turtles were mutated into giant gamera-esque kaiju. That was the first print I ever bought, and then one day he joined the Kaiju Live auction show chat where I think I gushed for a solid 10-20 minutes because I couldn’t believe he tuned into the show haha.
And then Bob like, I mean, if you’re not a fan of Bob, I mean, are you even Godzilla fan? Or do you just hate art? You know what I mean? Because Bob, his stuff, his oil paintings, and everything. It’s crazy. And it blows me away every time. I reached out to him, showed him the G65 prototype, and asked him, if he’d be interested in doing the header art. And he’s like, “Oh my God, that’s my favorite movie!” And it’s like, this can’t be any more perfect. Can’t wait to show everyone later this year! I guess I’ll have to reach out to Arthur Adams next? haha
Sounds like things are really kicking up for Spiral Toy! Like we were discussing above, I was super excited for you guys when I saw a group of folks, including the iconic GojiFranklin, showing them off to their friends. Then, they asked me to take their photo. It was just pure G-FEST magic. I was like, wow, here we go! Spiral Toy has a big presence at G-FEST! And then Nick Sydes helped, and got one signed by TJ Storm. It was just perfect timing for you guys!
That picture was so surreal. It’s kind of when it became real for me. This entire time I’ve working on the quality control, bagging / tagging each figure that I never had the chance to sit back and really take in what I had accomplished. That picture you sent really made it hit home… People are at G-FEST and bought my Godzilla figure and they’re going to go home and put it on their shelf next to their other figures… And TJ was another reason we were happy to have figures there. We made sure he got one, thanks to Nick Sydes!
It’s been a wild ride! And I’m glad it’s finally here. I can’t wait to do more. The green G 19 is coming up; the pre-order window is near.
When do you expect G65 to be open? Even I’m interested. Once you go Showa, I’m all in. Haha.
We’re expecting end of September / early October.
You heard it here folks. I’m hyped for that G65!
What does Godzilla/Kaiju mean to you? Deep down, looking in the mirror, what does this series and franchise mean to you? It seems like he’s grown up with you, as many fans’ relationships with the creature and genre have.
Man, that’s a very loaded question. Because Godzilla has given me so many different things in different stages of my life. As a kid, Godzilla gave me this joy of imagination. When you see and know that these are models and like a guy in a suit, it really brings this imagination side of you out. I wanted to make my own stop motions and create things. The genre is ripe with creativity, and it super stimulated me as a child.
And then, as I got older, it became this amazing bonding experience with my dad. We both really enjoyed this stuff. Truth be told, I think Godzilla will always remind me of my dad in some way because we did this together all these years and grew our collections, and then of course I grew up and we separated our interests and collections a bit. But then again, returning to help my dad with Kaiju Live, there it is again. We bonded together no matter what stage I was in life through Godzilla and giant monster movies. That’s something truly special. I will always think about my dad when I see Godzilla
And then on the flip side, Kaiju Live has been helping me provide for my family especially during the pandemic when I lost my career. Overall, the big G has meant so many different things to me over my life to almost where it’s meant everything in a weird way. Now that you bring it up and I can reflect on it a little bit, yeah, Godzilla has been there my entire life in one way or another.
I love throwing that question out. I always get such different answers, and it’s lovely hearing the impact that a film franchise can have on people that view it, from deep messages, to entertainment spectacle, to even just the time we spend with our loved ones sharing our interests and hobbies that stem from this franchise. I love that your answer specifically harkens back to family, and the great connections and bonds you can form with them.
My older daughter watches Godzilla movies with me now. She loves King Caesar. I bought her some DeForeal figures to have on her bookshelf, and she has the the friggin gigantic Spiral Studio Mothra Larva in her room and I got a backlight behind it for this incredible display!
And she loves it! it. Is she a super mega fan? No, maybe not right now, but to be able to sit down, and share that experience with her, as a father, that’s just the greatest thing I can do. The Pluto TV channel just dropped too, and we’ve been watching that, like people my age used to do with MonsterVision on TNT. They had Godzilla Vs. Mechagodzilla on there, and of course, because she adores King Ceasar, she loves that movie. Unfortunately, they only have subtitles on broadcast right now, and she’s five, so, I acted out the whole movie for her. Every character, every monster. I performed it, like a stage show. It was so much fun and freaking hilarious. ahhah
Godzilla is generational! The way you talk about your dad bonding with you? She’s going to do that with you one of these days.
She came downstairs and did the Spiral Mothra unboxing video with us. I was asking her opinions… like there’s no bias here. Let’s hear what she thinks? Straight from the source! She doesn’t even know what’s happening. I’m like, what is your opinion on this Mothra Larva? And she’s like, it’s so beautiful. It doesn’t get anymore pure than that.
It’s totally true though, what you said. Godzilla is this generational thing. It’s something I grew up with my dad, my family. And now, it’s something that I’m going to be experiencing with my daughters, creating brand-new memories with the next generation. That’s one of the big things that I love about MonsterVerse. I know not everyone is about it, but you know, this is their Godzilla 98. There’s a whole generation of fans that grew up with GINO as their first movie.
That was me! My first exposure to Godzilla was G98. I went and devoured the Toho films shortly after. I appreciate that movie for making me a fan.
Exactly. And that’s why suddenly, you flash forward 20 or 30 years. Now people are like, where’s this? Where’s the Godzilla I grew up with? Like, where’s he at? Where’s the toys of that thing? Which, speaking of the spiral studio stuff, I cannot wait for that bad boy!
It’s just a nice transitional period. The people that grew up with 98 and the millennium series are adults now, and you can see a shift in the G fandom. The next generation is currently growing up on the MonsterVerse. It’s so cool to see. I really, firmly believe that it is one of the greatest times to be a fan. The accessibility is near-perfect, you don’t have to go hunt for these movies, and there’s CONSTANT merchandise, something for everybody.
Lastly, AJ, I’d like to give you the floor. What’s coming up for AJ? Are you focused on a channel revival? Hardcore into the toy design with Spiral?
Spiral is the big priority right now. We are contracted with the license for two years. I am laser focused on making the best out of this contract that we can with Spiral Toy and get out these releases in that window. I personally want to make sure they’re the best possible product that they can be. Spiral Toy has been three years in the making, so there’s no way I’m going to let this opportunity slip.
I do want to start bringing Kaiju Live exclusives back to the shop. We do have plans for an Evil Ujiak sofubi as well but like I said, Spiral Toy is the focus right now.
Our 100th Auction is coming up next month September 3rd and we will be holding a giveaway for our live audience so if you’re reading this, smash that subscribe button and help us hit that 2k goal!
At the end of the day I’m honored to have been able make an impact in this community that I love and I plan to continue putting everything I have into it whether its more figures or content I think people will enjoy!
You got this!
Thanks again for sitting down with me AJ. I have watched your Kaiju Live show go from a tablet broadcast on Facebook Live, to full fledged business in the span of 4 years. It’s incredible to see. AJ is a family-focused man, a hard worker, and just a delight to have in the community. It has been a true honor to finally have a one-on-one with you for the site.
Thank you so much for doing this!
