SINCE 2001
Steve Forde, founder and principal of GoHero, began designing original character toys that straddled heroic action-figures and a strange emergence of art toys. GoHero’s award-winning Mechabot went on to appear in print, film, TV, music videos and more. With that success, GoHero produced several first-ever figures based on historic science-fiction, comicbook, art, and entertainment and won many accolades for innovation and design – including Toy of the Year in 2009 for the groundbreaking Buck Rogers collectible.
​
Forde has been called the “Rick Rubin of Toys” and established himself as a creative secret weapon with many talented collaborators. The common thread with all the projects is the mission to elevate, educate, and celebrate pop-culture!
​
In 2023, GoHero co-founded LBO Collective – a creative powerhouse of artists, innovators, and industry leaders. LBO is setting out to change the landscape of collectible experiences with a unique strategy for art, design, culture, and iconic brand collaborations.
