You've Gotta See This!



My friend Bruce Ross has been making toys as long as I can remember and he is amazing. I chose as examples pieces that show mostly his invention. I think his work is incredible and his design sense has had a huge influence on me(He's way too modest to believe that though). When you go into Bruce's toy room it's a magical place-hundreds of little action figure eyes looking up at you. The Chamberlain from the Dark Crystal is one of my absolute favorites. I am very lucky to own an original Bruce Ross-a Lobster Johnson from Hellboy.

I love the quality and the creativity of these figures. He certainly is fantastic at creating these. I can see why they'd be inspirational. How fun to have a whole room.

Oh my, you're so lucky to have the opportunity to look the chamberlain straight in the eyes and to talk with his creator...You don't know how much I'd love to :)

Those are beautiful. I even now am staring at a Lobster Johnson action figure on my toy shelf.
