Name: Sam Greenwell
Place of Birth: Louisville, KY
Job Title and Description: Sculptor
How you got into the Toy business: Started out trying to pencil comics,
but got a lot more response for my sculptures. I sculpted for the garage
kit industry for a while until my portfolio was strong enough to help me
break into the toy industry.
Favorite Toy as a kid: I'd have to say it's a toss up between my Mego
"Lizard" (which I still have) or my Big Jim camper ( which was long ago
destroyed).
Favorite Toy now: I'd say it would be the K'nex Screamin' Serpent Roller
Coaster I got for Christmas. It took four hours to put up, but was really
worth it. We finally took it down in April.
Favorite Hellraiser film: The first one.
Favorite Cenobite: Hands down, Pinhead. His calm, calculating nature
makes him much more threatening, and interesting in my opinion, than Jason
or Freddy.

Name: Rene Rosa
Place of Birth: Secaucus, NJ
Job Title and Description: Webmaster. If its up here or at any NECA website, I put it there. I also do quite a few other things here and there for us, but thats not important right now.
How you got into the Toy business: Slowly. I was born with the genetic predisposition to make sure that I would change the face of toy making forever. Sadly, that failed so instead I made sure to get a job with Randy at an other company before he started in the toy world, because I knew someday it would come to this. Ok, I confess... I was lucky.
Favorite Toy as a kid: My 20 Inch Godzilla. It was a Shogun Warriors style Godzilla with Shooting fist.
Favorite Toy now: The 13 inch rotocast Hulk.
Favorite Hellraiser film: Hellraiser 1
Favorite Cenobite: Chatterer. He didn't have the best lines but he looked damn cool.
