The Story So Far....

Hello everyone,

Sorry for the delay between posts, but there have been some interesting developments that have got in the way of completing regular posts. Trust me though, some great work has been done and there have been some cool developments. So without further ado:
  • New Job - One of the more interesting things that has happened as of late was my movement to a new company and new position. I had been dissatisfied with my previous employer and was looking for a change, and this opportunity came at the right time. One of the cooler aspects of this job is that my office is located in THE BAXTER BUILDING:
That's right, I have offices on the third floor of the Marine Building in Vancouver, BC. This building was the Baxter Building in both FF movies and the Daily Planet in Smallville. One of the great things is that the lobby is full of fantastic art deco accents and architecture.
  • New Action Figure Display - For months I have been planning and designing a complimentary DC display to match the Urban figure display that I had set up a few months ago. Finally the time and funds were available to proceed and I constructed it. Taking it's cue from the old Mego playsets, this display incorporates a live LCD display, LED spot and running lights and a multi-tiered stage in a slick & glossy package. Click on the link above to see the feature on it!

Cool story behind the Super Skrull custom. This was a commission from Art Baltazar of Patrick the Wolf Boy and Tiny Titans fame. He was kind enough to create a one of a kind painting for me in exchange for bringing one of his favorite Marvel baddies to life in all of it's Mego style glory. In exchange for this service, Art presented me with his bad ass version of Firestorm in his own electrifying style! Check out the shot below for this prized piece that has a place of honor on my wall, and click on the link above to see The Super Skrull!



  • New Twisted ToyFare Theatre - There are some new pages from current TTT episodes up! Of special note is the article they did on ToyFare's top 10 custom figures used in TTT. Hmm...I wonder if any of mine made the cut? Click on the link to find out!
Well, that's it for now. I know I'll promise to write again soon and only break your heart, but you know I love you, don't you baby? I'd never hurt you on purpose, please forgive me and let's let bygones be bygones..(Turns on Barry White, and as Art B. would say)...AWWWW YEAH!
