I would love to see a "How it's made" video. Showing the sculpting, casting, painting, assembly, etc. I think seeing the whole process would be amazing. And I completely agree that kids need toys in their hands.

Matthew is amazing. He comes over to the house sometimes and we work on customs and I am just in awe of his sculpting abilities. I call him the Zohan because he sculpts all the hair and beards on my GI Joes. His sculpting and painting talent is second to none. I didn’t know we lived that close to you guys either.....I may have to take a retroblasting tour myself!! Thanks for highlighting his work, he deserves all that’s coming to him. PS. See you at retrotoy con!

Thank you for spotlighting these fan/artists that are truly doing the best work. Great interview. I know I've said this before but it really is reminiscent of a Dick Cavett interview. You are so sincerely engaged in the interview and offer anecdotes that add to the story but don't interrupt the interviewee.

I know this is an old vide but I just watched it and when he said he wants to get these figures back in the hands of kids.....toys are still for kids. My little boy LOVES action figures and especially the ones in three quarter inch and they just seem to be becoming a thing of the past. Star Wars figures aimed at kids are gone. The vintage collection is all they seem to have in that scale and that's really sad

Not a fan of this guy at all. He sells his stuff for an insane price and he doesn't answer questions. I am in a Joe RAH group and people were begging for info and he just wouldn't respond to inquiries after he kept posting pics of the CC. Only a select few were able to order his figures at a whopping 125.00 a piece. Sorry but I know customizers who sell better stuff for less. Sadly collectors are mostly sycophants and kept begging and praising while being ignored. For some reason RAH customs including black major stuff sells for more than the originals and that is unacceptable in some cases.

You were rude and weird about this, almost like enjoyed all the people salivating over your figure. every inquire into ordering one was ignored. Making customs is not hard or expensive nowadays so that whole narrative you have been spinning is a joke. The fact that you even care enough to respond let's me know you craved that attention from fans. You should take notes from other customizers who are friendly, open and not charging insane prices.
