    ¡HOLA! John! My name is Richard Fernandez from Pueblo, Colorado.
    I have always loved seeing Ray's movies (I say that not to take anything away from anybody else who had whatever part they participated in the film), ever since the very early 1970's when I could catch one being featured on a afternoon
    matinee. The one that first caught my absolute attention was the skeleton battle in Jason and the Argonauts.
    Having a love for dinosuars and prehistoric times, Valley of Gwangi and One Million Years B.C. were a given! Especially for a small boy with an imagination for recreating parts of the movies.
    Since Clash of the Titans didn't come out till 1981, I had drifted away from most movies as my focus was in being a soldier in the US Army which I served three years. In 1991, I was married and my wife had a love for the movies and told me about Clash of the Titans. We rented it at a "Blockbuster" store and I immediately fell in love with and it took me way back to those childhood memories of yesteryear.
    I had always wished that someone could make action figure like pieces of Ray's work and I remember that some of pieces were produced and they did have playability but not very detailed oriented.
    Even though I am much older now, having turned sixty last September, I began to see on TH-cam some of the pieces being made and I don't know how to describe it other than happy!
    I love the fact that Star Ace took the time to research and meticulously detailed these pieces which to me, are beautiful works of art themselves and I think Mr. Harryhausen would be very proud of!!
    Thank Mr. Walsh for your very deep interest of Ray's work and bring forth these collector's pieces and giving us a background of each one that I have found in no other videos for them.
    I do feel that by seeing your presentations I feel as though I have "caught up" into the world of the man and one of all time favorite artists,
    RAY HARRYHAUSEN!!!
    ¡Muncho Gracias!!!

      Richard - thank you for taking the time to share your wonderful memories of Ray's work. His legacy has matured like a fine wine, and he has more fans today than ever. I was surprised the 1981 Mattel action figures were not a success from Clash of the Titans. These new pieces are a towering achievement. Ray would have been thrilled with the new products and your heartfelt appreciation. Thank you.
