Great video! I’m an engineering major and my dream since I was a freshman in high school is to work for Mattel. I’m making it happen one step at a time!

I've been trying to segueway into action figure design from doing game miniatures design work for over a decade but, man, it seems like such a small closed off industry that is really tough to get into.

I might look into the idea submission for the additions to the MOTUO that I have created. I've always wanted to work in the industry. I create in the Indy toy market, but that is not always a monetary solution to having a 9-5. I'll work on portfolio. When it gets close to being ready, would you mind looking at it?
