“Inspired by the toys I’ve collected for years, I’ve been working to make my dream come true since 2015. Although I’d been in the toy making business for over twenty years, I really wasn’t sure where to start. Along the path, I hit a bunch of dead ends, got cold feet, freaked out about Covid, got really discouraged and was very unsure if I’d ever be able to financially make this toy happen. But after all the time I’ve spent troubleshooting, planning and preparing, I am excited to say that I’m confident that I’ve found a way! I have the right manufacturer, support and the perfect sculpt to bring my fashion maggot to life!” –American Toycoon, Indiegogo 2023
