Plaid Stallions 18th Birthday

It’s Plaid Stallions’ birthday, and now I can ship it off to college or the army I guess.

Starting this site on a lazy Saturday while my baby daughter napped was more important than I’d ever realized. I had no idea that when I started posting old catalogue photos online. Starting Plaid Stallions would open such an incredible door that would have me make new friends, create podcasts, go back to college, write books and magazines, and even make action figures based on crazy concepts.

None of this would have happened if I had just decided to watch TV, so it ranks as one of the better decisions I’ve ever made.

Initially, I was going to give PS “Five years tops,” but I just kept going thanks to all the positive people I encountered on this journey.

That support and kindness kept me going, and I always found it here during good times and bad; this has been an amazing ride.

So I would love to give out presents on our birthday because I already got mine from you, and so on with the contest!

RUNNER UP PRIZE:

Ten participants will receive an Infl8able Monster in its limited edition packaging. These are the same figures that come with issue 12 of Toy-Ventures Magazine, but in a special “Rack Toy” package. We’re only making 150 of these with a custom header card by the amazing Peter Carsillo; these will be sold on the site and at shows soon, but you can get one absolutely free.

SECOND PRIZE:

One lucky person will get a complete set of Lincoln Monsters collector pins and an Infl8able Monster.
