    This is fantastic work, also I feel this interview went a lot more smothely. The guy seemed really passionate about what he was doing, and seemed really interested in giving us the details and talking about it. Not that the others weren't, but i get the sense they just wanted to be alone.

    Depends on the piece and the action figure. most of the time they are hot glued on in their pose and are part of the piece. sometimes (like the big batman one) those are able to be posed and moved around. its a 4 piece diorama that you can take apart and rearrange.
