Michael Waddell MetaZoo Hour February 9 2022
MetaZoo Hour Summary
Written by Jody Mitoma
Published Feb 25, 2022

On Wednesday, February 9, 2022 at 8:31am EST, MetaZoo Games founder Michael Waddell started up another MetaZoo Hour on the official MetaZoo Discord server.

There were a total of 95 MetaZoo related questions & 9 personal/unrelated questions that were asked by members of the MetaZoo Discord community, and the answers all came directly from Michael Waddell himself; unless otherwise stated.

As always, we’ll start off with the MetaZoo-related questions first, in the order that they were received, and then move onto the personal questions afterward. Try searching for things such as “Wilderness” or “Kickstarter” to narrow-down the results. It all works dynamically. 🙂

Michael Waddell at 8:31am EST:

    yup!

  • I wish the MetaZoo play network didn’t have so many issues right now

    k

  • One point of constructive criticism i would like to state is about the Walmart boxes. I think putting chase pulls in them could deter the original use of them (get it in more hands/new hands). Because of the box toppers in them, they are being more sought after by scalpers and flippers than new players. I think that could hurt its intentions. Just my two cents on them that i am seeing.

    Had no idea they were putting boxtoppers in them

  • What is the Walmart box print run @MetaZoo

    1 billion

  • Any chance we will get an expanded chibi set in the future? 12 just isn’t enough for me!!! Also need a squonk chibi ASAP!

    binged it the day it came out

  • Are you familiar with adult adoption? I’m available 🥺

    Yes, but already said no

  • Hey Mike are you watching Part 2 of the final season of Attack on Titan?

    i gave up on AOT after they spent 2 years in that cabin talking

  • What’s your favorite kind of cheese Michael?

    catupiry

  • Mike do you own any Superplastic toys or nfts?

    no

  • Has anyone noticed you in an airport yet?

    yes

  • Star Trek or Star Wars?
