Publishing History

Still Playing with Toys Presents is an anthology that began publishing June 2007 with the release of "Still Playing with Toys Presents #0", a preview issue made available only to retailers. The publication was an anthology of two stories "Angel XRC" and "Only in Dreams". Issue #1 is scheduled for release on October 31, 2007, with three more issues following bi-monthly there after.

Angel XRC

"Angel XRC" tells the tale of a post-civil war civilization, where the government rules by fear and those straying from the norm are hunted by an army of XRC (Xeriv Resistance Control) officers. Among that army is Lt. Jacob Axebry, a former family man who had his wife and child taken from him during the initial stages of the civil war between Meeham and Remarri Fetti.

In "Still Playing with Toys Presents #0", the death of Axebry's family is shown in flashback and we see him in full resistance control mode, busting in on two suspected resistance members transferring illegal materials.

Only in Dreams

"Only in Dreams" is a broad comedy revolving around three college seniors working on their thesis project in the science department at fictional "Holden College". Mild-mannered and unlucky with the ladies Nate is seen having a recurring nightmare in "Still Playing with Toys Presents #0" that his best friend and technological whiz Ryan has been trying to remedy since childhood. Strong as an ox but a true teddy bear Henry is shown working his magic with the ladies and completely forgetting that he and his friends Nate and Ryan have a meeting with the Dean to discuss their senior thesis.

The series promises a high concept comedy in future issues suggesting that the three students will be able to enter the dreams of fellow students and "clean" them of their nightmares.
