Transformers
From the collection of Jason Otero
I started collecting Transformers in 1984 at age 11. My very first Transformer was Jetfire (which I still have) and many of my first figures were gifts from my parents. My childhood best friend and I collected and traded Transformers for many years and spent hours writing scripts and casting our other action figures for home-made stop-motion videos that pitted Autobots and Deceptions against Godzilla, He-Man or GI Joe. Optimus Prime always prevailed.
I believe that much of what I love about design - myth, narrative, color and play - is embodied in the Transformers toy line and why to this day I still collect.
