The toy industry mourns the loss of an amazing talent...

Re: RIP: Prototype Painter, Edward Wires
This is truly tragic - I'm seriously at a loss of words regarding what's happened...
I ran into Eddie at Comic Con last month and even though we'd not seen each other in nearly 2 years, we started chatting like we see each other every day. He was truly one of the kindest, most generous guys I'd ever met and he'll truly be missed by more people than anyone knows...
No doubt God has put him to work in heaven painting more masterpieces..."Until next time...have FUN with your figures!!"
