Interview with toy sculptor Bill Merklein

Gyre-Viper over on Hisstank posted an interview he had with Bill Merklein, one of the head sculptors of the G.I. Joe toy lines as well as, Mighty Max, X-Men, Visionaries and Air Raiders lines from Hasbro during the 80's (just to name a few) Even if you are not interested in toys he does cover some of his sculpting techniques and materials. Here is your chance to see the guy who helped bring many of he iconic toy characters from the 80's and 90's to reality. Check it out, you might be surprised at what you may have owned that Bill had a hand in creating. But, be forewarned; the video may be broken into 7 parts but your looking at over an hour of info. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
