The guy who had the cool '90s 'Masterpiece Edition' idea (box with repo figure and book side-by-side) lives in my area and I even had him autograph my ME Astronaut. <br /><br />He told me Levine was a cool guy at first, but kinda swindled the idea after it became successful and sold it to Paramount for those Trek Captain's editions you later saw.. <br /><br />All in all though, Levine gave us such a wonderful gift, for generations to come. To me, he's essentially the grandfather of boy's articulated 'action figures'.<br /><br />david_bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00218727673816200051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528812496347938474.post-9119960006459881202014-05-26T10:23:25.430-07:002014-05-26T10:23:25.430-07:00Their box art was always the best.

I loved the training tower.<br />Kalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00663751053844271849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528812496347938474.post-54958039400535077502014-05-26T08:05:00.031-07:002014-05-26T08:05:00.031-07:00pretty great box art!pretty great box art!Super-Duper ToyBoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08858607320711118146noreply@blogger.com
