It was early 2008 that it was revealed that we had an Australian working inside TakaraTomy, and then he left there in 2014.
The original interview that was circulating in 2008 is now gone, as is his original facebook page, but some of his drawings are still on deviantart.


It has also been a rumour for some time that certain designers and ex-designers were responsible for various 3P toys... which would make sense, as those designers submit heaps of ideas, to then be told that only 3 or 4 can be done in this year's budget.... leaving them with just one option to have their concept dreams be fulfilled.
