Star Wars Collectors Archive Podcast: 'Chive Cast

Thanks for that Steve and we appreciate your regular updates.

Just had a listen to the Blog log Pod on my lunch break:

Loved it! I don't know much about the later Ewok figs so was a really informative listen. Skye calling one of the Ewoks a wh*re was worth it alone. As was his super-hypo coked up monologue during the intro. Hilarious.

Glad you enjoyed it, Christian! It was nice to give Ron's article a bit more attention, as it certainly deserved it. We've since recorded a second "Blog Log," though that one is more of a mini-episode and isn't specifically tied to a blog post.

But, Episode 80 has been released recently, featuring the Gamorrean Guard and a re-run of a crossover segment with the Collectors Galaxy Podcast: 'Chive Cast 80 - Crunchee Gamorrean Guard

We'll hopefully have the next Blog Log up soon, and perhaps one more episode before Celebration. Hoping to see some of you guys there, and thanks as always for listening!

Ahhh cool didn't realise there was a second Blog Log. Will download it now!

Weird, not seeing the second blog log on the itunes podcast app : /

Sorry I realize what I'd said was a little vague. We've recorded a second "Blog Log" but that one hasn't been released yet, just the main show for Episode 80 which was focused on the Gamorrean Guard. Blog Log #2 should be out sometime soon!

Looking forward to it, I'm not sure there has ever been anything as funny as "a day in the life of a Gamorrean guard focus collector" in a star wars related podcast. Still breaking new ground!

You'd think we would be at a point where seeing a ridiculous licensed item wouldn't be so shocking, but this isn't just a decal on bottle of shampoo. That green pig face made of soap feels like something that would never be proposed at a pitch meeting, much less approved for production.

Great episode as usual.

That was a great episode.  I agree that the GG is an under rated figure.  I have a small collection of COO variants.  Go Crunchee!

One piece I would like to find some day, is the GG coin bank.

It was also great hearing from the Collectors Galaxy Podcast guys.

I'm glad that segment paid off! I just couldn't limit it to one unloved item. And to be honest, I doubt we'll be putting a one-item limit on a lot of these ROTJ characters. There is just too much awesomely awful!

Thanks, Clint! Funny you mention the bank - we'll have one of its counterparts featured as an unloved item in the next main episode.

Speaking of new episodes, we've just released the 2nd "Blog Log Pod" mini-episode, which features an interview with Mark Hamill's Pop Culture Quest creator and executive producer Scott Kinney where we hear about how the show came about, some great Hamill stories, as well as a peculiar find of vintage accessories that Scott made: 'Chive Cast Blog Log Pod Episode 2 - Inside Mark Hamill's Pop Culture Quest

Steve, is that a vintage find mate ?

Yep! Scott (the episode's guest) made the find and all of his photos are on the SWCA Blog post I linked to. Really neat stuff!

--Steve

Awesome Steve I'll give the episode a listen tomorrow, I really enjoy your podcast's mate

Great episode, Scott was on another podcast this month about it (rebel force radio maybe?) and he covered some of the same stuff about the show but it's worth a listen just for the details on that weapon find. That's pretty wild. Makes you wonder how many other lost treasures there are out there.

That was a fantastic episode with Scott Kinney. I'm going to see if there is anything on youtube for the Mark Hamill’s Pop Culture Quest shows.
The find of vintage weapons & the paperwork must have been amazing.

Hi guys, we've recently released 'Chive Cast 81, with our featured figure being the Emperor's Royal Guard. We speak with Mattias Rendahl about his run on the character as well as his recent SWCA Blog post on "Emperor Day" in Sweden:

Thanks for the update Steve. I will have to listen to it next week after Orlando.

I'm looking forward to meeting up with you & Skye at the Archive Party.

Have fun in Orlando guys!!!!!1111 Can't wait to hear the coverage on all the podcasts.

Thanks, It should be a blast.

Episode 81 is out for your listening pleasure.  "Imperial Guard Lance"

A great bunch of interviews with Mattias Rendahl, Dallas Ewen & Mark Sanders.

I can't remember if it was the unloved item.  But I love my Canadian Boxed ERG coin bank.

Red on a red insert! That is bold! Beautiful piece Clint.

I'm aware of the whole set of those but I've actually never seen a box before.

Looks a bit like the modern black series I kid, it's substantially more cool

Love it Clint! For the first time ever, I'm starting to get into some of these non-figure items.

Haven't listened to the latest episode yet but it looks like another cracker.

Thanks Chris & Christian. You guys should browse the Odd section more often.

I've spent a lot more time there this year than I did last year.

What you guys have done there is simply outstanding. No wonder it's such a popular section,

Thanks for the shoutout for the last episode, Clint! That ERG Bank is an awesome piece!

It's been a crazy few weeks with moving immediately after Celebration and am still playing a bit of catch-up.

Episode 82 - our Celebration Orlando recap - just came out and is streaming on the SWCA Blog: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Hope those that made it to Orlando will enjoy remembering it, and that those that couldn't be there will enjoy a sense of what it was like.

Had today off and put the YouTube version on while doing some chores around the place. Particularly liked the interactive feel of discovering show floor prices live its hard out there getting a complete Jedi Luke, I've only got one with a perfect nose and a cloak and I consider myself lucky lol

Glad to hear Skye followed through with the Gamorrean guard soap

Thanks for the update Steve. I'll try and listen to the new episode tomorrow.

Thanks to both you, Skye, and all the other people for putting on the Archive Party. It was a lot of fun meeting a lot of the other collectors. I also really enjoyed the Collectors Panel: Star Wars at the Movies - Vintage theatrical Advertising and Collectible Ephemera. That was the funniest panel I've ever seen. I posted a short clip in our "Going to the Con" section.
