This week, Collin sits down with a longtime Avatar superfan and creator of The Puppetbenders and Nostalgia Bending, Kevin Coppa! Collin and Kevin go way back, all the way to 2009 at Anime Central where Kevin and Star (aka Avatar Mom) hosted the Avatar Legacy Fan panel. It’s been 11 years and both a lot and little has changed as we discuss the evolution of the fandom, how Kevin was involved with Avatar and Korra, and some behind the scenes on how the puppetbenders were made. Kevin’s latest YouTube series, Nostalgia Bending, chronicles the history of the Avatar fandom with deep dives into his treasure trove of photos and videos, accompanied by interviews with fans who helped shape the fandom in its infancy.
