Very impressive to see so much of John's work on display.  I remember the first time his line was mentioned here and seeing them at a local dealer shop back in 2006.  To think that he has produced so many wonderful items in such a short time is an impressive feat.  He has become the Willy Wonka of the toy soldier world.  Those French-Indian War figures are difficult to surpass. I know some folks didn't like the faces of the early figures, but they always held a certain charm to me.  Like something that stepped out of a portrait.  I've given up trying to collect everything he produces, but even the stuff that I don't collect is fantastic.
