I have loved them since I was a little kid when I had my first TMNT and Star Wars figures and would bring them everywhere with me. I still do this when I'm packing for a trip, I make sure to leave enough space for at least one figure. But my reasoning has changed slightly, since becoming an Illustrator, I think about the setting I will be in and what kind of reference photos I can get with certain figures.
