My job is running injection molding machines and I love that Lego and their quality control came into the conversation because they truly are miraculous in their execution of perfect plastic bricks

Personally Lego is the ultimate toy, it is unlimited fun that encourages creativity and engineering, it teaches art and science as far as your imagination can take you.

He was very on point with the comment of toys probably not changing that much in 50 years (at least for little kids). I remember when a niece turned 2 or 3 (can't quite remember), but everyone got her these big elaborate toys -- and at the time I was very poor and just got her a bouncy ball... that 5 dollar bouncy ball won her attention COMPLETELY.

He sounds and looks exactly like a person I would envision if they told me that they were a toy expert.

6:50 if you want to see some truly stunning examples of injection molding and mechanical design, build a gundam model. They're absolutely astounding little engineering projects.

Tech is great, but I truly don't ever think action figures will be replaced. There's just something so satisfying and fulfilling about acting out storylines and generally messing around with something tangible that looks and feels like something or someone you see as super badass

I could listen to this guy for hours and not get bored. This is so good.

This was fascinating. I love the people Wired gets and the topics they think to cover.

I would LOVE to see another one with him.

Rubik's cube is really a masterpiece of a toy. Simple but ingenious. I remember around early 1980s when I was like 12 somebody brought one to the school and everybody tried to solve randomly haha. Eventually most of us learned after somebody found one tutorial on a magazine (the easiest layer by layer algorithm.)

I appreciate the comment about math in toy design, as I became a toy designer on Hot Wheels with an engineering degree. Physics and math play key roles in mechanism and play set design, and I love every part of the process.

Chris is the kind of person I want to show up to games night and just share trivia all night. We'll groan and give him a hard time but we all quietly love it, and he knows that.

As an ER doctor, I can also say that anatomically and physically there are many changes that happen to a pediatric child after the age of 8. 8 is a very important number clinically.

I don't want to brag, but I bought a 50 piece puzzle that said 4 years and up. 4 years? It only took me 10 days

At first I thought being a toy expert was a hobby but this guy clearly knows his stuff. I have seen the light and definitely respect the profession after this video

He said Lego's are sustainable because they get passed down most. Classic answer, love this guy. 😂

4:45 The association between Rubik’s Cubes and intelligence is thankfully changing though! It’s now more a super fun hobby than a sign of IQ. Anyone can solve the cube if they have the motivation, I’ve seen it first hand.

My toy fad was the Beyblades.
Everyone in my neighborhood played with them and battled using big bowls.

I think one of the major changes in toys in 50 years will be the 3D printing. It’s getting more common to find people that have one and good ones are becoming less expensive and the product coming out looks better and better every year. Only a couple years ago they had super thick ridges and now they’re looking far smoother. They’re also doing multiple colors and different types of materials.
I saw a thing on Dam Savage’s Tested channel that had a company that is doing 3D printed life portraits that print in color and look amazing. It’s still in early stages, but in a few years that kind of tech could become something really great.
There’s a lot of designers that didn’t have luck setting up a toy company that create and sell files so you can print their toys like Tecco toys.
I think eventually these printers will be cheaper and easier to use and even a kid could learn to use them.

I mean this with all due respect and even admiration: Chris looks exactly like what I thought a toy expert would look like.
