I've spent a ton of "toy time" digging through Paul's amazing resin head bin. If anyone deserves the crown of "the man who started it all' it's him. He blazed the trail. -
This is the best observation Paul ever made and is why he "gets it". It's rarely stated but often understood. It is like the fictional tragedies which created Superman, Batman and Spider-man - loss:
"I pretty much had them till 7 th grade junior high when your mother says, “hey! enough of playing with dolls! Grow up, go meet a girl or something get out of the house”. I had to give away all my old toys. That’s a key component with collectors, most collectors at some point they were told to give up their toys or were thrown away or given to somebody else. But there’s always that loss that goes on."Comment

That is such a great interview. Paul sounds like such a cool fellow. Hopefully I'll be able to make it to one of the get togethers someday and meet him in person.Comment

You can't help grabbling all the missing pieces of your childhood... thor hammers and helmets, cap shields, tiny oven mitts, you name it. Then... the customs bug hits you as you realize you can start using this stuff to assemble characters that Mego never made. I just about lost my head at my first Mego Meet, almost five years ago now!Comment
