Ron Mirasol (aka SamuRon), Publisher – At the start of the millenium, Ron had an early mid-life crisis and then ended a decade of responsible adulthood by renewing his interest in action figures. Guaranteeing his fiscal and moral decline, in 2004 he joined the staff of TheFwoosh.com, eventually becoming a site administrator and founder and publisher of the Fwoosh E-Zine. But that still wasn’t enough. In April 2009, Ron founded ActionFigurePics.com. Most recently, he helped launch TheCoinSlot.com, Fwoosh’s sister site dedicated to video games. Today, he splits his spare time between the Fwoosh and AFP, and secretly hopes his day job in high tech will somehow intersect with his toy collecting hobby.
F.W. Bougher Jr. (aka Buzzy Fret), Reporter – Cold War Survivor, Rock N’ Roll Guitarist, and Plastic Addict, Buzzy Fret spends too much time trolling the aisles of toy departments looking for perfectly good toys to break in his random acts of senseless action figure customizing. Examples of Buzzy’s customs can be found on his cheapo webpage – BuzzyFretCustoms.blogspot.com. When not hunting toys, Buzzy is usually locked in the Buzzy Cave either procrastinating or kit-bashing. If spotted approach with caution.
Alex Santa Clara (aka Sandman21xxi), Staff – Alex loves to collect toys. He likes opening them in his car. He also likes to take pictures of them. In his spare time he tries to make a living as a freelance illustrator/designer. When he has more spare time he squeezes in his other hobbies/interests like sports, movies, video games, and art. He loves the sense of excitement and joy toys bring to kids and adults, and he hopes to be part of the toy industry someday. More of his toy photography can be seen at his AFP Gallery or his flickr account.
Jason (aka Talyn), Staff – Talyn is notorious for sneaking away from his normal shopping duties with his wife to pick through the toy department, looking for that cool new piece of plastic crack. Once he finds it, he enjoys photographing these little wonders as if they were alive, breathing life and action into them and sharing his freakish fetish with the world. In downtime (between paychecks) he enjoys customizing, prop building, sculpting, and web/graphic design (his professional… profession). Some of his design and prop/costume works can be seen on www.RayneCreations.com.
