4. What is the team like?
5. Toyline to support Storylines?
1. That evolves as the novel progresses, so I don't want to give too much away just yet. The groundwork is laid for that question to expand in readers' minds (or in future projects).
2. I wanted to represent the universe that MTF has established as much as possible.
3. Current time.
4. Again, I don't want to give too much away. My goal is always to introduce a set of characters who the audience can relate to and sympathize with. I already have plans for more development in the second draft.
5. I'd say that this is more of a case where the story line is supporting the toy line. I was inspired by the awesome figures that MTF has put out, and I had an eye toward their future plans with WWII and Vietnam. I heard MJ talking to another customer about the forthcoming Vietnam line and spent a good deal of the trip home thinking about where I would take the story if it were to continue. For now, however, it should definitely align with what you have on your shelf.
One thing that I tried to be very cognizant of was providing some characterization and story without restricting anything. MTF's brand is all about customization and freedom, so I didn't wanto to do anything to damage that brand. The idea was to provide some potential context without taking away from anyone's already established ideas or approaches to the brand. I hope that I've struck a good balance.
