Micro Bears


These figures were based on the classic Microman toy line by Takara. To see a write up on the replica reissue figures that these are based on please go here. A special thanks to Paul L. for the Microforever site.


These are colored like the original M101 George, M102 Jack, M 103 Jesse & M104 John in the barefoot Microman line.


You may notice that these resemble the Time Travelers in the Micronauts line that was produced by Mego in the late 70's. The reason for this is that the Microman line basically gave birth to both the Micronauts line and Transformers.


The background also resembles the the building sets of the Micronauts, but I based the background on the Microman Police Keeper Build Base. You can see the design here.


As a child, Microman and Micronauts really helped nurture my creativity. The interchangeable aspects of this toy line really inspired me and kept my imagination working overtime.

Biker Devil Toyer


Here's a Qee blank figure that I customized using just some colored sharpies. I thought it would be nice to experiment using these markers.


As I was working on this, I came to realize that it is difficult to color figures that you can't take apart. It is a challenge to get the marker to go where you want it to without accidentally coloring some other part of the figure.

The Real Mister Boo


This is a picture of Sasha. We often called him Socks. He was such a wonderful companion, and his personality seemed bigger than his little body could contain. He was mischievous and incredibly intelligent. He often liked to make me to chase him down our hallway. We knew him so well that I could tell if something was bothering him by the look on his face.

Unfortunately, Sasha passed away a few years back. We spent a small fortune on surgeries in his last days, but despite everything we did to save him, but eventually he died in my wife's arms.


This custom is a dedication to Socks. I named him Mister Boo from an illustrated web story that my wife and I started called Gods, Heroes and Monsters. The character named Mister Boo was modeled after Socks and would appear suddenly and often lead the heroes out of danger or to someone or something that they would need.

Unfortunately, we've become too busy to ever get the story going and we never truly got over Sasha's passing, but the legend of the ghost rabbit named Mister Boo lives on.


Notice the angel wings on the back. This custom was made from a blank Qee angel bunny figure. The black spots on the white and the blacked tipped wings are because Sasha was dwarf Hotot rabbit.
