Being a toy designer would be my dream job, if only I had made better career choices, because I just automatically ruled out the possibility in my mind. Thank you both for the great interview!!!<br /><br />Also, let's get these unreleased SLUGs released somehow! I'm sure no one thought Mordles would make a reappearance, and now they sell like hot cakes! The OMFG Kickstarter projects are also a shining example. Let's make it happen!Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14317502791624737515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320884930198472374.post-15923070617199659922015-01-16T14:20:18.285-06:002015-01-16T14:20:18.285-06:00Thanks for reading!Thanks for reading!LittleWeirdoshttp://littleweirdos.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320884930198472374.post-64081866168192771642015-01-16T10:01:43.742-06:002015-01-16T10:01:43.742-06:00Great interview, and excellent work John!

We didn't have any TV commercials or series tie in, but it still did relatively well. With all the great response, maybe this won't be the last we'll see of the line. If anything has the chance of coming back to life it's zombies! If any news comes up I'll share it on Instagram.

In terms of creativity and overall design quality I think this line is among the best mini-figure series in recent memory. It's a shame that at least those already produced weren't distributed. I won't even start on my disappointment over that Monsters line; those pictured would've made beautiful sculpts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320884930198472374.post-43956219048065342272015-01-15T18:59:35.466-06:002015-01-15T18:59:35.466-06:00That's for sure!

I don't see them on John's site -- but could you ask if he also designed the Slugterra figures for Jakks Pacific?<br /><br />More importantly -- let's find out what the heck we have to do to to get the rest of the SLUG zombies produced! Somehow, with John's knowledge and talent, and Kickstarter -- we can do an independent release of his zombie characters even if we have to produce them under a different name. <br />Steve Rottershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10570959417819358252noreply@blogger.com
