Well we got in the Christmas Season this year and turned Diaz Sign Art into Santa’s Work Shop. Here’s some pics of the Diaz Sign Art action figure toy line. There’s no kung fu grip or karate chop action but we’ve got paint buckets, thinner, brushes, paper towels, tape measurer, signs, ladders, and yes… duct tape.
Here’s a picture of our real truck with out the ladder rack on it. P.S. Dad's action figure is even equiped with authentic Pat King Overalls.

No, but she has a briefcase (where she stores her watercolors and fabric and needles), a cell phone and clip board (to whack 'em if they don't behave!) Don't you just love her puffy little coat and silver tennies! We have had more fun with this! I almost feel like Dan Swatwhateverhisnameis!! (...now if I just could spell correctly the FIRST time I posted!)

Hey Jill, common now, Zappa's Baby Snakes isn't cheesy if that's what you were implyng with your reply.
Of course I'm a huge Zappa nut!
He really was one of, if not the best composer of the 20th century, but many people and music afficianados are only finding that out now. Isn't it amazing that real artists talent only seem to get the recognition they deserve after they're gone and in the ground.
You don't have to believe me, after all, I just might be "Dumb all over, and a little ugly on the side"

God, I love this stuff, Jane! It's as good as the cereal bowl artwork; mine had tigers and circus animals, right down to the artwork on the Kraft mayonnaise egg: remember that? It was the first contoured lettering I'd seen on a 3 d project. and all this is as cute as the coke guy sitting on the billboard! all that comes back to me when seeing your artistic emotions in motion.

Thanks every one, to answer Ian’s question, the figures are about 2 ½ inches tall. Checkers, I wish I had more time on my hands… For the record we didn’t build these things from scratch. We started with an existing toy line altered a few of them, painted them (with the exception of moms hair, haven’t done that yet. ) Then we printed out decals on our versacamm. There’s really no profitable benefit to making them… it’s just a fun little project to do on my free time. Although we have already had a few customers comment on them and one in particular that wants some for his business. Plus it’s a nice addition to our front office/show room/waiting room. Mark… OMG you are a freekin genius… I have to do a stop action movie with them. I probably won’t have the time to do that any time soon as I can only assume that would take forever to do. But that would be hilarious.

Yeah, Sam. I though of Pat the minute I first saw that toy. Bill is just "borrowing" those overalls. Suelynn, that is a great idea. It's a little too busy here right now, but the first chance I get to play a little, I will do that! I knew the Magic stuff would come in handy! Now, I just have to decide on a style....Maybe Ben's girlfriend, Ashley who is a stylist can help me!

That's awesome, Joe... have done that a couple times with models and radio control cars...
Reminds me of one time a few years back, when I was racing karts. I dated a girl for a little while that had a boy who was about 6 years old... he loved coming to the track and watching me race..
Well for his birthday, I found a diecast toy racing cart that look very realistic. I printed up all the decals and numbers on my vinyl printer to look exactly like my kart down to the last detail. It turned out really cool..
Anyway, I put it back it the box with all the ties and everything... gave it to him.. he loved it. He asked me, "Where'd you get this?" I told him I bought it at Walmart. For awhile he thought I must be on the Tony Stewart, Dale Earnhardt level to have my diecast karts sold at Walmart, but his mom eventually told him that the 'kart only' came from there...
Thus reducing me back down to the lowly local (but championship winning, I might add) kart racer.
