Originally pursuing writing, Troy Stith stumbled upon the designer toy world more by accident while he was waiting for artists to draw his comic scripts. He had always been looking for an artistic outlet, so he decided to pick up a box of super sculpey one day and see what he could do. What started as a creative side project outside of writing, now domineers most of if not all of his free time.

In the beginning, Troy wanted to make his own toys and seeing that vinyl production was way too pricey for his starting point, he taught himself how to mold and cast his own resin creations. The Lil' Luchas were born from his love of strange creatures and the high flying Luchadores. After releasing two Lil' Lucha platforms, the toxic "Virulentos" and the toothy "Dentaduras" he started dabbling in the custom vinyl scene more and more.

Moving away from the action packed world of wrestling monsters and into a zen like state, Troy created his first custom Munny called "Munnsai" which was met with better response than he had hoped it would. From there, his green thumb took over and ever since he's been creating forests of customs. Focusing not only on the toy, but also the surrounding world that toy lives in.
