I was born, and that's a feat in it's self. Spent my childhood as a field worker (to afford my comic books), got older. Served in the Army Corps of Engineers, and as a puppeteer in my church. Started skinning a few years back, and I'm still trying to improve my skills. And I'm never serious (if I can help it).

Highlight On: The Micronauts
Mar 16th
In the beginning was… Mego, and they made toys. They bought the rights to an awesome line and dubbed them The Micronauts. The first figure I bought was Time Traveler. He was released in different colors (I had the transparent blue one.) and came with the Ultronic Scooter. They had a very successful run, and as legend goes:
Marvel Comics writer Bill Mantlo’s son opened a new present, a line of the Mego’s Micronauts action figures. Bill Mantlo was instantly struck by inspiration to write their adventures. Convincing his editor-in-chief, Jim Shooter, to get the comics license for the toys, Mantlo was hired to script their series.”
“The Microverse – a subatomic solar system ruled by the tyrannical BARON KARZA! Aboard the starship ENDEAVOR, six intrepid fugitives flee the despots PHOTON PATROL by warping through SPACEWALL, a barrier on the fringe of the Microverse…a barrier never before broken!”
