I had no computer, and did all renderings by hand with markers and then worked with the model shop to pick paints for the first paint samples and count up the amount of deco operations it would take to manufacture the toy. Just to be clear, designers at the toy company Takara in Japan would send us the line drawings of the characters, and I basically just colored them in. Still very cool to help create characters at the age of 19 that would become so iconic and be featured in a ground breaking animated TV show and now a major movie. And not a bad job getting paid to color! So grateful for the Coop program at the University of Cincinnati and the guidance of my first boss, Aaron Archer."—Daniel Sanfilippo, LinkedIn, 2023/06/14
