'These toys evoke so many memories for me, it puts me right back into my bedroom as an 8 year old, using my bedroom as various intergalactic bases or secret hideouts. I’ve tried to paint these figures to provoke memories in people, so that you can almost remember the touch of them, even the taste' says Joe.
