We were expecting to receive the packaging dieline from the factory today for the Enterprise D…….still waiting. Sorry graphics guys, hopefully tomorrow. We did get a couple prototype shots from the factory; check here for a couple sneak peaks. Factory is still checking the construction and the details; after they’re done they said they will send the prototype for our review.

So I wanted to let you guys in on all the great stuff I have been working on for our new line of Ultimate Quarter Scale Star Wars action figures. Some of you may have seen sneak peeks of these guys at the trade shows and Comic Cons. I have the pleasure of working up close and personal with the UQS figures. First of all let me tell you from a collector stand point, even if this wasn’t my job I would most certainly be buying all of these for myself. That being said from a designers stand point they are indeed the creamed corn of my projects and I love them.

If you’re like me than you are a big fan of war movies, the list is too long but let me tell you that Platoon is at the top somewhere. I can’t tell you how excited I was to hear we would be making MGM Platoon Minimates. When I used to think of minimates the first thing that came to my mind was Marvel Minimates, but I have come to learn that that just isn’t the case. We are knee deep in tons of movie minimates and I couldn’t be happier to have been working on the Platoon line. I just finished up the boxes for these guys a while ago, expect to see some cool movie poster inspired designs. Also pick these little soldiers up for yourself; they have character accurate helmets, little machine guns (so cute!).

Saddle up! Lock and load!
