		<description><![CDATA[ A quick animation, comparing two head sculpts: Mego&#8217;s Vintage 8&#8243; Green Arrow, and Mattel&#8217;s Modern 8&#8243; Green Arrow.

Beyond anxious to see the recently announced Mattel &#8220;World&#8217;s Greatest Super-Heroes&#8221; line of 8&#8243; Mego-style action figures, we made a bee-line to Mattel&#8217;s massive trade show booth.

Here&#8217;s the background: Back in summer &#8216;06, I hit the proverbial wall trying to publish this book. Things went south with the first publisher that offered me a contract, and I thought the sky was falling. I wrote a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been over 9 months since I posted a new blog. Didn&#8217;t think I ever would write another one&#8230; not, at least, about the book.
Tonight, however, I got a heart-warming note and photo from fellow Mego-Head (and Micronauts expert) Ray Miller.

It was important to me that I document the entire journey of making this book, and this blog was a wonderful outlet for that endeavor. It was a catharsis for me, and a whole helluva lot of [...]]]></description>

There are two years&#8217; worth of blog archives covering the making of the book, as well as plenty of other geek stuff.
It&#8217;s been a lot of fun documenting this journey, and I thank you for reading.
