Others are already saying it, but the lost media/preservation folks are gonna love this. Some genuinely fascinating stuff you're showing off lately, Mike. I imagine your history in children's entertainment is what allowed you to keep your ear so close to the ground finding and collecting all those toys featured on the channels.

I really loved Mike Mozart's bootleg toy reviews as a kid and when I met him at ctcon in 2012 he told me about his career as an illustrator that I had no clue about because I'm a fake fan. He drew me a picture of him as a pirate with the SpongeBob thermometer Update: I found it!!!! Thanks again, Mike!!

If Mike mozart, continued his toy reviews from back then rather than chasing the person who copied his designs he could've still be the biggest toy channel on youtube and earn a lot more than the person who defraud him. I guess his passion was just not in the content creation space.

Judging by the amount of toys he's made, his quality of art and the massive studio he owns, I don't think he's too worried about money rn. Could be wrong, but I assume he's doing ok. After looking into his feud with the person you referred to (I wasn't aware until now!), these new videos seem to be Mike trying to show the world what he's really about, which I've been enjoying since I had no idea. If you check the end of his video from Oct 10th he makes it clear he has a bunch of new toy reviews lined up, old and new.
