Hello.
I am european collector of military action figures and I think B. Merklein made some of the Visionaries action figures, so I want to ask Mr Merklein about the Visionaries non produced lines for 1988, were are actually the test shots of these non produced figures?
Thanks.

OK, I just watched this whole interview, parts 1 - 7, and have to say, it is absolutely the best, coolest thing I have ever watched on youtube. Bill is clearly a class act and I am so glad he took the time to do this. Bill, if you by any chance ever read this, THANK YOU for being a part of my childhood, you helped to make it a fun one. : )
