Yes I am definitely going for an old school 80s look with my stuff. That decade had so many great original toylines that were often weird but always very imaginative. I miss that with todays lines that are almost always based on existing properties like movies and comics. I try to capture the imagination of 80s toylines and try to combine it with the level of detail and quality of todays sculpting and painting standards in the toy industrie.
You are definitely succeeding in your aim for your toys!
Yes the diversity in characters was a huge strenght of the 80s toylines like Master of the Universe. I really missed that especially in the late 90s when most toylines seemed to be nothing more then endless variations of the main character. I think the last decade brought back more variation in characters again but I still miss original toylines that are not based on existing properties.
I agree, we do need more original toylines full of imagination and fun. Sure I'll always love any modern takes on classics 80s lines, but I would love to see something brand new and creative take off like a rocket like the 80s lines did and bring us something new and inventive!
