The next section comes with a story...In the Spring of 1976, I started making KISS miniatures out of model kit soldiers. There was one set in ALIVE! costumes, two sets in the DESTROYER costumes with an extra of Gene and Paul. My Dad thought they were good enough that the band should see them. Long (trust me!) story short, I got invited out to their motel the day after the concert. Gene was very impressed and had the tour photographer, Waring Abbott, take dozens of photos. I hope to see some of those here soon! Anyway, since I was only in 9th grade at the time, my parents drove. They got the interview of a lifetime from Paul while we were busy taking pictures. In all the excitement, I wound up leaving the miniatures in Gene's room.
The next year I was ready! I had a total of 36 figures (the photos below are mostly from that group) and met with Gene again. This time he bought the whole bunch from me. I saw him at the 2001 San Diego Comic-Con and he said he still has them.
