About Me

Hi, my name is Marc

Step into a world of great memories and fun, where I love collecting and fixing up old toys. This journey is all about keeping the cool spirit of the past alive.

I've always liked toys since I was a kid – action figures and video games were my go-to, I even went on to work in the video game industry for 17 years. Now that I'm older, I see these toys as not just playthings but bits of our history.

Because I really care about these old treasures, I've decided to give them a new lease on life. I'm learning how to fix them up, especially the ones close to my heart.

I'm mostly into bringing back to life action figures – those cool characters from our childhood. Whether it's making a Star Wars Stormtrooper shiny again, giving a Masters of the Universe hero his legs back, or getting an '80s gaming console to make nostalgic sounds, every project is like bringing a piece of history back to life. Come join me in rediscovering the awesomeness of old toys, one fix at a time.

Oh, and did I mention I'm not just diving into the past? Nope, I'm also riding the news wave of the latest toy releases.
