| Trio of MMM Customs I'm happy to own |
First submission 1998
Jim was an original member of the old MMM LISTSRV that eventually moved to Yahoo Groups before disbanding to the MAJOR MATT MASON Facebook group around 2006. I was a frequent poster (as were most of us back then) but what really caught my eye was his John Glenn custom which featured a Matt figure with a custom head - he really captured the likeness - painted in Space Shuttle program colors and coinciding with John Glenn's return to space aboard STS-95 (I was very happy to attend the historic launch). Of course those 640x480 digital cameras back then were pretty bad (read that as grainy, pixelated, blurry and lacking most detail unless taken outside or very well lit) - so my apologies for the size and quality of these images.

As I recall this was inspired by a beater figure that was missing limbs - love this and happy to own it.
