    Very cool, I've long been an admirer of your box work and am thinking about picking some up the the FTC figures as i prefer boxes to bubble cards. I also wonder have you ever done boxex for GI Joe 12" figures, the classic Adventure team Coffin boxes?

            Too weird-I was just thinking about contacting you on some Lone Ranger boxes...

            Love the full POTA set I got from you awhile back BTW

                    The chipboard comes from Uline and has to be bought in quantity (over 100 pieces in the pack I got) and the plastic is .007 duralar which is available at many art shops.

                      I love the behind the scenes! Thanks so much for sharing.

                      Do you use the .022" thick chipboard? http://www.uline.com/BL_1852/Chipboard-Pads

                              Wow! I loved seeing the process behind the process. Most fascinating and it even answers a question I had the other day as to how you guys cranks out these beauties. Couple of other questions that I'll PM you in case they are "trade secrets." BTW, you should consider doing a YouTube video on the whole process, too. Trust me, I've learned a world of stuff from YT!
