We are back at it again with Ron English in this fourth installment of his life. We journeyed through his toy making as he has taken on some of the most intense messaging and "propaganda". The same spirit we heard about with his billboards, we saw in his toys.

From MC Supersize and Temper Tot, Ron knows no boundaries in making toys.

Here how he has pushed the limits of what toys can be on this weeks episode of Toys on Tap!

On this episode of Toys on Tap, we dive deep into the incredible career of legendary artist and toy maker Mark Nagata, a pioneer in the world of sofubi and the creative force behind Max Toy Company. From childhood days obsessing over kaiju figures to airbrushing at the Academy of Art, Mark takes us on a wild ride through freelance illustration, Goosebumps covers, magazine publishing, and building a toy empire with his son Max.

Hear how a chance encounter with artist Kazuhiko Sano sparked a lifelong love for airbrush art.

Discover what it was like illustrating for Goosebumps and navigating the shift from traditional to digital.

Travel with Mark to Japan, where his heritage and passion for soft vinyl toys collide in powerful, personal ways.

This isn’t just a conversation; it’s a masterclass in resilience, reinvention, and radness.
