Kid Robot founder, Paul Budnitz talks with Morgan Phillips, the man behind Suckadelic, about Star Wars break beats, gay Storm Troopers, the Original Villain Network and casting his own toys.

My first attempt at making a toy was in 1978. I had the Greedo figure and I mushed him into a bar of soap to make an imprint, like a mold. then I melted a green crayon on the radiator and poured the wax into the mold. It didn’t work, but I’ve had that bug up my ass ever since. I always wonder what that little kid would think if he could have seen where his little attempt finally lead him. Oh, yeah he’s still me, and he’s fuckin’ psyched…

It’s an inspiring interview for anyone interested in making their own art or taking over the world. [Paul Budnitz]
