Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy!As a lifelong sci-fi fanboy, the Alien franchise was a huge part of my growing up.

I actually got to preview the first episode ahead of this interview, and let me tell you, it

Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy! I first met this next guest at Star Wars Celebration VI in 2012. I was a fan of Toy Hunter and pretty much had a collector’s heart attack when I saw him. We’ve stayed connected through the Holonet—aka social media—proof that sometimes, the real treasures aren’t toys, they’re friends you meet along the way. Now, he’s finally here, fresh out of the carbonite and ready to chat. Fangirls and fanboys, Jordan Hembrough!

As a key player for the Meralco Bolts in the PBA and a proud representative of the Philippines overseas, he’s consistently brought his A-game. And just recently, he added PBA Finals MVP to his growing list of
