Ep. 291 Toys on Tap w/ Kaiju Go: Building the Best Kaiju Party in Texas

Kaiju Go co-founder Chaz joins Toys on Tap to break down how two friends turned a love of kaiju films and toys into one of the most talked-about small toy events around.

And the philosophy is simple: throw a great party and take care of the artists.

We talk about:

• Growing up obsessed with dinosaurs and monsters

• Starting Kaiju Go in 2023

• Combining designer toys with classic kaiju films

• Why artists table for FREE

• Keeping the event intentionally small

• Curating sofubi, resin, and kaiju artists

• Fans lining up hours before doors open

• Volunteers keeping everyone hydrated in the Texas heat

• Designing Kaiju Go’s killer merch

• What could change next year

Kaiju Go isn’t chasing massive growth. It’s chasing longevity, community, and one ridiculously good day every year.
