Grimlock (G1)
Poe Ghostal received his first toy, a Mighty Mouse figure, at age three. Thus began a lifelong interest (some might say obsession) with toys. A child of the 1980s, he grew up on Star Wars, He-Man & Transformers toys, as well as more obscure lines such as Power Lords, Robo Force, and Manglors.
Poe has written about toys for IGN.com and ToyFare magazine. He was a founder of OAFE.net and has been a guest reviewer for Michael Crawford’s popular review site.
Richard Gottlieb, whom I interviewed last week, has asked me to return the favor and interviewed me for his own blog.
