 In Interviews

Hello, @beermanphotography here with another interview!

Thank you for participating in this interview, I am very excited to talk with you!

Q: What first sparked the interest in creating your own line of toys and how did you get started?

A: Since I got my first paycheck in 2009, I’ve been collecting toys, and since then I’ve been imagining figures I’ve developed myself.

Q: How long have you been in business?

A: I planned it for a long time, actually it’s only been two years since I started this project. I studied advertising at university, but then I didn’t work in art, and my painting skills dropped fast. Now I have to pick up the brush again.

Q: What is your favorite figure that you produce?

A: I’m not sure, maybe it’s Salomon in the wave2, his mask is awesome. You can see the stories of characters, they’re not perfect. I like imperfect characters, they look real and charming.

Q: Any interesting stories from the production side you can share?

A: When I watched the Gladiator movie, I was a kid, it shook me, I had never seen the arena and that it would be such an epic feeling. Since then, there have been scenes in my mind. Even in bed, I thought of myself as a gladiator, fighting in the arena, and then falling asleep. I also watched the Spartacus TV series, which all inspired my creation.

Q: If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?

A: When I was a kid, I wanted power like Superman. And now I want a kind of superpower like this, when I draw a character, it can instantly become a toy. Because I like toys so much.
