Podcast #097 - Interviewing Console Heroes 2025's NEW Retro Gaming Collectables Company

Podcast #097 - Interviewing Console Heroes 2025's NEW Retro Gaming Collectables Company

We've had the pleasure of talking with the Console Heroes team for many months now. It started as a request to get our opinions on their upcoming products, and has naturally evolved into a mutual relationship to chat about all things manufacturing, retro gaming and collectables.

We wanted to open up our conversations to our podcast community, and to introduce you formally to a really cool collectables company making products for SEGA fans, at scale.

Their first product is quite simply a mix between Mighty Max and Polly Pockets, but inside of a SEGA Genesis cartridge featuring Sonic The Hedgehog 2, Sonic The Hedgehog 3 and Street Fighter.

I sit down with Andrew, the owner of Console Heroes, to talk about how it all came to fruition, his history in the product industry and what's next for Console Heroes.

He gives us a physical look at the products, a tease for European SEGA Mega Drive fans, and agrees that it's worth looking at the SEGA Game Gear for future releases.

It's a great episode and one of the first to sit down with Console Heroes, so enjoy this exclusive interview.
