Tell me something about you?
Well, I’m jonpaulkaiser, I’m from the UK. During the day I work as a menswear designer, mainly designing licensed t-shirts. At night I eat too much, take the dog for a run and paint toys.

What is your favourit DIY Toy?
I have a few favourites, Kidrobot Munnys and Mini-Munny’s are hard to beat, very rarely is there a QC issue, and some of the accessories are great. I’m also a big fan of the MADL, the 10″ one is HUGE, and it’s great to see a small company make such a sought-after DIY toy.

Where you get your inspiration from?
I take inspiration from all kinds of things; old gangster movies, Japanese history, Hellboy comics, the original Star Wars trilogy, toys and ‘adventures’ from when I was a kid, graffiti, graphic and fine art. I run quite often at night, jogging through woods and empty fields, and that lets my imagination run wild, and I think up all kinds of stories and ideas.

Since when are you doing Vinyl toys?
I’ve been doing Vinyl Toys for about 3 years now. I started making resin toys as part of Porlzilla, though we slowly would that down a little, and I’ve been concentrating on customs for over a year now.

How large is your private Vinyl toy Collection?
It’s quite large, I’ve got about a hundred or so figures, they’ve taken over the house a little…

What will be your next Project?
At the moment, along with a long list of customs to paint up I’m working on designs for a vinyl toy. I’ve designed a series which is being made, though I’m not sure when it’s out, and I’m currently looking for a producer for another of my designs.
