Meet the Team
William Robert Post
Hello. Thanks for coming to the hardest page on this website to write. I felt that it was necessary to say a little bit about me. While there are a lot of My Action Figure Custom fans who can vouch for my brutal honesty and ethical standards, I hope this new toy line attracts new fans as well. So for what it is worth, here is the highlight reel:
I am William Robert Post. My friends call me Rob. I am the owner of Harvinger Studios, which is the creative home of Savage Crucible, My Action Figure Customs, and Collegiate Legends. I am just a regular 40 something year old American. I have lived on 3 continents, both coasts of the USA and was born in the metropolis of Manhattan...,...Kansas. My brother and I started our first business when I was in second grade. We harvested pecans from several willing neighbors' yards and one not so willing neighbor (#getoffmylawn). We would sell them for a couple of dollars a pound. It was always a joy to know that every time I sold a bag I could buy a new G.I. Joe. When I got a little bit older I moved up to mowing lawns to pay for my toys and Marvel comics. I played college football for a couple of seconds. I was an Army brat that followed in his family's footsteps. I joined the Army after finishing college with a degree in Economics. I was an Arabic Linguist with a Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information with Counterintelligence Scope Polygraph or TS/SCI CI Poly. After a number of years of living in "exotic" places without indoor plumbing (as a DoD contractor), I decided to obtain my MBA with a concentration in Supply Chain and Operations Management. I have spent over the last decade plus having a successful career for one of the Big "4" accounting firms in their consulting division. I like Science Fiction and Fantasy. I breed Great Danes that have found success at the highest levels of competition.
I am not sure what you will take away from the above paragraph. My hope is you find that I love comics and toys. I strive to continuously learn. I am a man of integrity, and I know how to work hard but most importantly I know how to work Smart.
Kevin Delies
I am Kevin Delies, 47 years old, born in Germany’s beautiful Rhine Valley – a region with the highest density of castles in the world. Growing up surrounded by myths of dragons and knights, action figures and toys became my refuge in worlds of endless possibilities, sparking a lifelong passion for fantasy and action figures of all kinds.
Today I am married to my supportive wife, and together we are raising two wonderful children. Although my artistic talent was recognized early, becoming a toy designer once seemed impossible. I studied design at an applied arts college and, after many detours and years of searching for my place in the world, it was the birth of my daughter and the encouragement of my mentor, the late Mark Taylor, that finally gave me the courage to fully commit to my talent and passion. I gained experience at a 3D studio, studied Game Art and Animation, and began creating action figure add-ons as a small business. Since this was before 3D printers became affordable, I sculpted by hand in Castilene, teaching myself mold making, casting, and painting.
This path eventually led me to Rob – first through MAFC and later as part of the Savage Crucible team. Here, my role is to design and sculpt whatever is needed, along with problem-solving and the inventive engineering of features. What matters most to me, however, is expressive portraiture and the creation of characters – and it is always a great honor to bring to life figures inspired by the legendary works of giants such as Michael Moorcock or Frank Frazetta.
Each work carries the depth of my artistic journey – monsters that reflect the inner battles we fight or encounter in the outside world, and heroes that embody the hope and resilience we look up to or discover within ourselves.
Matthew O'Toole
My name is Matthew O’Toole at 53. I am the oldest and prettiest but definitely not the wisest member of Savage Crucible.
I was born in the UK, the Midlands, beautiful countryside, Grimm towns. I met and fell in love with a beautiful Cajun girl who bore me a daughter and lived in England with me for a good long while. Now, we live happily in New Orleans.
I put food on the table with my career in makeup and creature effect. I have sculpted, molded, painted, finished, hair punched, fabricated, applied prosthetic make up, glued, stitched, strapped, cable tied and gaffer taped people into creature suits and performed in creature suits myself on a few occasions. I’ve worked on big popular franchises like Harry Potter and the Hobbit but also done smaller films and TV shows like Doctor Who and dog soldiers.
With that said, my other perhaps stronger passion has always been action figures. From the earliest days of action figure customizing, I was there on the forums posting my latest creation on the Fwoosh hanging out with some of the original toy nerds. Sculpting and drawing have always been my greatest passion so I would do most of my alterations with custom sculpture, molding and casting in liquid plastic. This led to me making add-on custom kits for Masters of the Universe classics and, later, at My Action Figure Customs for Rob. Therefore, while I still work in the film industry, I now have the privilege of being on the greatest side quest of all time with some of the greatest warriors ever to pick up a plastic sword.
Stay savage, Mat
Nikki Nikole
I'm the owner of Nikki Nikole Customs—a name that reflects the fact that I go by both Nikki and Nikole. I've been customizing and collecting action figures for over a decade, combining a lifelong passion for fantasy with a deep appreciation for the natural world.
Originally from the Bay Area and now based in the mountains of Colorado, I bring a blend of science and art to the Savage Crucible team. With a background in art, biology, and herpetology, I'm especially inspired by creatures that are often overlooked or misunderstood. That fascination shows up in my work—whether in a subtle detail in a sculpt or a bold paint choice that tells a story.
Fantasy art and role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons have fueled my imagination since childhood. I'm driven by character creation, world-building, and the storytelling power of visual design. At Savage Crucible, I approach each project as a chance to infuse depth, cultural nuance, and believability into every figure.
By blending real-world inspiration with my love of fantasy, I help bring the immersive world of Savage Crucible to life—one character at a time.
Renato Guevara
My name is Renato Guevara. By day, I'm a software engineer, writing and debugging lines of code to craft solutions for a variety of problems. By night, my second passion emerges: being an avid toy collector.
The journey didn’t start until January 2020, when a casual stroll through Barnes & Noble sparked a moment of nostalgia. For the first time since childhood, I saw a Donatello action figure which I later learned was an S.H. Figuarts Donatello. That moment reignited my love for toys, and the rest is history.
I explored many lines, but none came close to how special Savage Crucible has been for me. From the moment I discovered it, I could feel the passion and creativity poured into the line by such a talented group of individuals. There was no doubt in my mind that I had to support the Kickstarter. I even set my alarm for the middle of the night, woke up, and became Backer #1 ... and the dream hasn’t stopped since.
In November 2023, just a week before my birthday, Rob invited me to represent Savage Crucible at the Toy Expo in Maryland. It turned out to be the best birthday gift I could have imagined ... not only because I got to represent the team at the convention, but also because of the friendship and camaraderie I’ve shared with each member of the team.
Fast forward to today, and I’m honored to be an official member of Savage Crucible. From helping with literature editing, to assisting with the X account, to managing the website and photography for the Savage Crucible Checklist, I’m grateful for the confidence the team has placed in me to represent such a SAVAGE line.
Born and raised in Northern Virginia in the D.C. metropolitan area, I now balance my passions and career with my most important role: being a husband and a proud father to my son.
