The ToyStuf Prototype Collection
ToyStuf was a former employee of Galoob in the USA dating to before Micro Machines were released until about 1996. Without a doubt, his collection of Micro Machines is truly incredible to see, and perhaps the finest in the world. I had the fortune of meeting him in person in 2004, and have chatted off and on with him ever since. Many of my incredible sets/pieces shown on this site are from him over the years. With a limited budget and only the ability to purchase duplicates, you can easily imagine how much more extensive his collection is than what is presented on my site. With his permission, I am showing this assortment of prototypes he has displayed in jewel boxes. For reference, prototypes are hand-painted original design pieces. Decos use prior molds with newly modified paint schemes and/or graphics. I am humbled to finally give these the public attention they deserve considering the skill, craftsmanship, and creativity. (Note: Many of these are one-of-a-kind. Consequently, if offered something shown here, it is likely an inferior custom that should be avoided.)
