Poe Ghostal
The Smart One
Once referred to as "The Time Magazine of toy reviewing," Poe Ghostal was one of the founding members of OAFEand still occasionally writes a so-called review. Poe has been collecting toys since age 4, or so he thinks. He's written several articles for ToyFare magazine, including an interview with the Four Horsemen (issue #100). In his spare time he writes fiction and talks to himself.
