I'm working so hard on my own project in the past few months. It's about action figures, and my made-up story is similar to Small Soldiers and Toy Story. It's called Secret Toys. Been working on it, and STILL working on it for over a year now.
I think no one believes me. They think I'm NOT capable of this. Heck, they probably think I either died, or even worse, quit. This is understandable. Deep in my heart, I say, "You're downright crazy!" but with common sense in my mind, it makes sense that no one would care.
I don't care if anyone cares, neither do I care if anyone reads my personal journal or not. It's just here, so if anyone feels like crap, they can read my journal and be inspired.
I don't care, because I love my work, and I never get tired of it. This is why I'm STILL working on my project. It's just taking a little while to make QUALITY work. If it were quantity, then my work would have been done a long time ago.
My project, Secret Toys, is STILL my passion. You haven't seen my most recent work on it, because I had to keep my work hidden as much as possible to avoid getting ripped off by fakers. Until I'm ready, I'll reveal what I've been working on.
Now, I figured out the joints for my 6"-inch action figures. Why am I talking about action figures? Well, remember when I said my story, Secret Toys, is about action figures? I'm working on actual action figures, AND a comic book. First, I want to send out Secret Toys comic books, THEN I'll reveal the fully handmade action figures later on.
Back to the action figures... Man, I gotta tell ya, it's been quite an adventure for me to figure out how to make these joints work properly. It took me over EIGHT MONTHS to figure out how to make small joints to actually move/rotate while NOT breaking at all. In the past, my custom figures were constantly breaking their limbs from testing, and they were always unfinished (because the limbs were broken, thus became useless). It was FRUSTRATING.
Having an unfinished piece of a homemade action figure for this long was so infuriating to me, but nothing was stopping me. NOTHING! Until a few days ago, I FINALLY... FINALLY F I N A L L Y made perfect articulation joints. Now, they can move so smoothly without a hitch of a problem! All I gotta do is sculpt my characters onto new articulation joints I just created!
There's a reason why I'm so stubborn about my project... Small Soldiers. The freakin' awesome, badass, unique Small Soldiers movie. Since I was growing up, I was ALWAYS WAITING FOR SMALL SOLDIERS 2!!! Ever since Small Soldiers came out, not even a hint of Small Soldiers 2 would come out. Such a shame, because it had a fantastic style of practical effects, and comic book feel to the characters in that movie. Archer has been my favorite character, because through the entire film, he was animatronic, which was really neat to see. Anyway, they never made Small Soldiers 2, and when I hit my adult age, I decided I should make my own "Small Soldiers".
Come to think of Secret Toys as Small Soldiers 2, but with new characters.
Want to see my work? Well, I really don't know exactly when my Secret Toys comic book will come out. It should come out very soon, but not right at this time. I'm still working on the action figures from my Secret Toys comic book. My action figures I'm making are finally coming together the way I want them to.
I'll finally keep updating now.
Until then,
Secret Toys Creator
