My love affair with toys stared at an early age. As a child I collected and played with the traditional 80’s mass market action figures but as I grew older I began to realize the unique beauty that these “toys” possessed. In high school I could be found skipping class to hang out in the aisles of ToysR’us waiting for the new shipment of figures to come bursting out of their cardboard coffins. In 2002 on an extended visit to Japan I discovered the world of designer vinyl and art toys. Since then I have become an avid collector and customizer of unique 3D art figures …. as well as the mass produced action figures of my childhood. Currently living in San Francisco, I spend most of my free time collecting and creating one of a kind toy art for pleasure and for SF's own Blamo Toys. Founded in 2001 as a magazine devoted to the obsessive-compulsive world of Japanese toy collecting, Super7 embarked on a mission to become the premiere outlet for information and reference for the obscure oddities of the toy universe. The success of the magazine immediately led to Super7 collaborating with Japanese toy manufacturers to create exclusive toys and various special editions, evolving over time to Super7 designing and manufacturing its own collectible toys. Super7’s philosophy is to make products— toys, books, magazines, t-shirts, and even their own retail store in San Francisco— that its collector founders would want, resulting in Super7’s products being recognized by fans as original, unique, and most of all, genuine.
