Fireball XL5



I grew up loving this. I spent countless hours scrutinizing every aspect of it. I went on to become a fan of "Lost in Space" and, in far later years for work related reasons, "Star Trek". Perhaps, "Fireball XL5" is the reason why i make "the dolls". Certainly there must be some reason, as I did not 'play' with dolls as a child; I only made the figures. Although, I did always think when I watched these episodes of delightful puppetry, "The best part is being able to see the strings."
