Hello /toy/. It is with a heavy heart I come to you with somber news. As many of you may know Las Vegas experienced the worst mass shooting in US history yesterday. I am sad to say one of our very own was gunned down during the shooting. John Mallamas aka "Jin Saotome" was a Nashvillian the same as Jason Aldean and attended the concert in Vegas to celebrate his October 1st birthday. Jin was amongst the first to be struck by the gunman's barrage and sustained multiple fatal hits from high powered rifle fire. Wether you admired or hated Jin for his work we would like to ask everyone here at /toy/ to be civil to his grieving family and friends.

His body will be transported to Nashville and his friends Sean Long, Christina Cruz, and Chris Kyle will help with his final arrangements. His remaining customs, action figure collection, and tools will be donated to local charaties and individuals listed in his will that can benefit from his vast stockpile of customizing parts and paints.

Thank you.
