**Perillo's Picks: A Jedi's Delight**
Today's Perillo picks are a treat for any Star Wars fan, particularly those who love collectibles and gadgets related to their favorite characters. Chris Pirillo, the host of this podcast, is thrilled to share his excitement about some new itty-bitty collectible items he recently discovered.
As soon as Chris saw these small Star Wars figurines, he knew they were something special. "That's the first time I ever had fiber optics in my mouth," he exclaimed, clearly amused by his discovery. The itty-bitties come with a rocket pack and have all sorts of details that make them feel like authentic Star Wars props. Chris was particularly excited to see that one of them was even labeled as "BB-8," the beloved droid from the Star Wars franchise.
Chris's enthusiasm for these collectibles is infectious, and he can't wait to share them with his fans. He imagines what it would be like if Darth Vader or other characters could attend a birthday party, breathing sound effects that make everyone laugh. Chris also thinks about how these small toys could help introduce kids to the world of Star Wars, making it more accessible and fun for younger fans.
As Chris talks about these collectibles, he begins to daydream about what it would be like to meet some of his favorite characters from the Star Wars universe. "I love you too," he says with a smile, thinking about how much joy these toys could bring to children who might not be into Star Wars yet.
**A Message for Fandoms**
Chris also takes a moment to talk about fandoms and how they can affect our lives. He mentions that his daughter has become more enthusiastic about Star Wars since he started collecting and sharing with her. Chris thinks that this is a great way to bond with family members who might not share the same interests, using fandoms as a common ground.
For those who don't quite get into a particular fandom, Chris offers some advice. He suggests getting them small collectibles or accessories related to their favorite characters, making it easier for them to ease into the world of fandoms. For example, he recommends getting someone a cute Star Wars-themed backpack or cuddly toy to help them feel more connected to the franchise.
**A Jedi's Touch**
As Chris continues to talk about his Perillo picks, he begins to bring in some new props from his collection. He shows off a Darth Vader action figure that breathes sound effects, making everyone laugh. "She doesn't really speak," Chris says with a chuckle, thinking about how much fun these toys can be for kids.
Next, Chris introduces a small TIE fighter toy that sounds like it's flying around the room. He also mentions that he has another collectible on hand, a little pouch containing Star Wars-themed items that aren't exactly collectible. "Let me know if you have any of those super rare itty-bitty collectibles," Chris says with a smile.
