Well that was excellent. So glad to hear they are selling well on both eight and twelve inch figures. You guys asked all the best questions. Excited to hear there could be unmasked figures as well as makeup era versions of Eric Carr and Vinnie. THAT would be so freakin' cool. I'm also glad to hear they are entertaining new ideas for different accessories. I will definitely be sending some ideas their way. Great interview guys!

Avery interesting read. I like that they are open to suggestions from customizers on what to produce like body colors and the like.

Also wouldn't mind a My Favorite Martian figure.

The interview pretty much wrote itself. I am chomping at the bit for the pictures he mentioned.

Good read. I'm still interested to see what the 8" heads look like. I'm not sure that what we've seen are finished production pieces.

It's rare to find a company that is willing to listen to a customer's suggestions, wants and expectations. This was a refreshing read and I have already sent Anthony a few of the items I would like to see his company develop for the customizer at large. He does offer very speedy service on orders placed.
