I’ve managed to re-establish contact with Mike Drake from Mezco Toys, and he’s told me that he’d be up for doing an audio interview for our site, which I guess would be for release either on our podcast or one of our video news casts!
Mezco’s ThunderCats product line are all available from Big Bad Toy Store, so this would be a good opportunity to get some nice content for the site, and also get a good word in for one of our sponsors!
I’d really like to strike whilst the iron’s hot with this - Nick, I know I’m burdening you horribly with all the many jobs I’m sending your way, so if you wanted I’d be happy to handle this one - however, if you don’t feel I’m putting too much on your shoulders, you’re the best man for the job!
I actually agree with blackiecats on this one. If you can find a way to do it via Skype and record it, go for it. I’m having some internet issues which is making telephone interviews slightly worrying (due to the constant dropping - shouldn’t be too much of a problem if I schedule them during the night) and you’re much more knowledgeable about the toys side of ThunderCats than I am. I’ll help you out in anyway that I can.
Hey guys, thanks for the feedback - that’s totally fine, I’m more than happy to take this one on, I have £7.00+ Skype credit that I purchased when Neil, Kyle & myself interviewed Larry Kenney for ThunderCast waaaaay back in 2007, every few months I have to phone myself to save the credit, so it would be nice to actually spend it on something!
I must confess I’m not 100% certain what piece of software I would use to record a Skype convo but I’m sure there’ll be something on this Mac I can use!
What I might need to do is try dialling one of you guys one evening and try doing a test recording, just to make sure that whatever setup I have works OK - would this be a possibility?
Thanks Neil, and yep, I agree with this - all I need to figure out now is what application to use to try and record a Skype conversation! I sense an e-mail to Kyle coming on…
Nick, what do you use for recording Skype? LMK my friend, as there might be a version for Mac!

I use SkypeMXRecorder. I paid about a fiver for it in dollars - that is, before it hit the big time and they increased the price. It’s still not too expensive - but the investment is worth it. Unlimited Skype call recording, not having to worry about times or anything like that.
Thanks for this, Nick - so, this is officially endorsed by Skype themselves? I’m guessing they will make a version for Mac (as I believe you’re on Windows)?
