Got my @gijoe @hasbro @hasbropulse Cobra Night Attack 4-WD Stinger today in the mail!! While there are close similarities to the original, the materials or I should say the plastics are different. But that’s to be expected. Only hoping the Skystriker is in a more ridged plastics. All that aside I’m taking some time from work to build this thing. It definitely takes me back!! #gijoe #gijoecommunity #harbro #gijoecobratheenemy #cobrastinger #cobraofficer #retrofun (at Orange County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkjbMlOyRgM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I know it’s late. But wanted to share this one I did on Sunday. I’m still out of practice as it has been a while since I’ve been able to take out my water colors and gauche paints. #batman #adamwest #dc #dcmultiverse #warnerbros #keithfulmis #watercolor #guache #molskine (at Orange County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ciu51HiLqtc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Here’s a few more shots of the @disney @pixar @jerseyjackpinball machine I worked on with the fantastic team at JJ Pinball and my friends at Pixar.

My youngest son (9) has been neck deep lately in @starwars and @lego making custom builds and lately custom story dioramas from the Star Wars films. He loves creating moments from all the films but with his own take of these moments and only from his memories ( no reference) and with random parts. He just gave me this recreation of Vader’s reveal that he is Luke’s father. He even customized Vader as he felt he was not big or scary enough so Vader got a armor upgrade, and Luke lost his hand. The whole build is super simple but tells the whole story and captures the moment so well. He loves building Lego’s sets but loves even more creating his own versions of the Star Wars universe with loose found bricks. It’s rare he shares these with me as he builds and breaks down so fast I rarely have a chance to take pictures. Hopefully this one stays at my desk longer than the last one I posted, as that one got torn down for a new build. #lego #legostarwars #starwars #prouddad (at Orange County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeT-XVBJm05/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Lately my youngest has returned been hyper focused on two things @starwars and @lego so last night he surprised me with this custom build of the end of the duel between Anakin and Obi Wan from Revenge of the Sith. I’m always surprised how creative this 9 year old is and how he problem solves things in 3D. Or how he loves to customize things. His passion for toys and capacity to find toyectic play in almost anything has no end. He’s my toy guy and always gives my his input on toys, from their construction toy play function. I honestly think he may come work with his old man one day. #legostarwars #lego #legophotography #kidscustomlego #legobuild #mykids #prouddad #starwars (at Orange County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd3i1ehJHYq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#robotoyfest #familyouting #toys @love4baking_gardening and I took the boys out to @robotoyfest , it was the first convention we’ve been to in a very long time. Glad it was this one. The last time we were here the boys were so young and small, my youngest was too shy for photos then but he is my main toy guy and fellow collector. I got a Tomland Starwood Raiders Aton, Mask Bruce Sato, and 4 Lom. Noah spotted a 1993 Jurassic Park Kenner electronic T-Rex. He was supper stoked to get his first Vintage Jurassic Park figure and double so when we found after changing the battery that it still works!! https://www.instagram.com/p/CdmIYwBPc0G/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Made a stop at Target and spotted a project I worked on with the creative team @zuru.toys !! This was a major labor of love that involved quite a few fellow Disney designers to get this done. All the hard work done during the trying time of 2020. Shout out to my fellow designers Pascal (Lucasfilm) , Brain (Marvel) and @dommzybear @smokytango @kidokyo (my old Disney crew) ! #disney #zuruminibrands #zuru #toydrsigner #teamwork #marvel #starwars #lucasfilm (at Irvine, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaA-W65P2Ir/?utm_medium=tumblr

Taking time to clean up around the house and came across my boys latest activity from this morning. Endless imagination with them. I can tell my youngest had a hand in directing this activity. He loves Jurassic Park and his play always tells a story. Even after he leaves the mess. #boysrooms #imagination #imaginativeplay #toys #gijoe #jurassicpark (at Orange County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXeXzeVPkMh/?utm_medium=tumblr
