“As soon as I saw the figures, my first thought was, ‘How did Kristian get into my head...they are just as I had envisioned.”
“Kristian's action figures brought my characters to life in way I hadn't imagined possible. Everyone I show them to wants to know where they can order their own set.”

“I had always been impressed with Kristian's work from his early beginnings creating original Starting Line Ups® of friends, but it wasn't until much later that I realized the true artistry and craftsmanship that he brings to each and every one of his PLAYER™ figures. With painstaking research and precision and meticulous design, Kristian's PLAYER™ figures have the unique quality of appearing to have been professionally produced off an assembly line, while at the same time retaining its own unique one of a kind quality. Each one is an individual exceptional memento of high school, college, public service, film -- you name it. Which brings me to another notable quality about these figures: Kris has shown time after time that the possibilities, like his own imagination, are limitless. The first Figure he made for me was a surprise, I didn't know it was coming – When I unwrapped the gift seeing myself in high school catching a pass in my high school uniform, not only was I amazed by the physical likeness, but also by the fact Kris was depicting me as a far better athlete than I ever actually was (another point for Kris's imagination). The second time Kris made a figure for me, I commissioned it myself: an action figure for a short film I produced. Even when I knew what was coming, my expectations were dwarfed when Kris ultimately delivered. I chose to give the action figure to the director in mixed company so others could see what Kris was capable of. As the friends around the table picked their jaws up from the floor and wiped the smiles off their awed faces nearly an hour later, everyone at the table wanted one. I assured them he'd be going into business soon.”

“This is quite literally a unique gift. The level of hand-crafted detail captured in the figure is amazing. And the customized packaging not only preserves the toy, it illustrates the story.”
“Definitely one of the top three or four gifts I've ever received.”
“If you are having trouble finding the perfect give for that special someone, think INSIDE the box.”

“It's my favorite possession. If my house was on fire and I could grab one thing, my action figure would be it!”

“After serving as the youngest Sheriff…in the State of West Virginia from 1977 through 1980, I wasn't ready to hang up my guns. The action figure instilled a lot of confidence in me and gave me the inspiration to run again [and win] in 2004! I took the action figure to a Sheriff’s Association meeting, and it received a great reaction not just for law enforcement but also for outstanding officers and citizens of the year.”
