Family serves as the foundation for life's future experiences. "We all remember in that simpler time in our lives, the things that helped mold us or helped make us feel secure - they made us who we are today." Thomas Blackshear. Leap Frog - by Ebony Visions

As women do everywhere, three good friends meet to exchange daily news and gossip when they suddenly see a certain female walking down the other side of the street. Thomas Blackshear says, "We can only guess what that Ms.Thang has been up to!" Whatever it is, the girlfriends are scrutinizing her with disbelief and disapproval, and then, after much whispering, someone gasps, "Oh no, she didn't!" NOTES: WINNER of the prestigious NALED "Figurine of the Year" award, on June 29, 2001. Congratulations Thomas!. Oh No, She Didn't!   by Ebony Visions

In a joyous celebration of youth, Thomas Blackshear creates a festive and heartwarming collection with a fanciful childhood performance. Tiny Tina joins the Jamboree Parade, a colorful addition to the joyous childhood festivity. Interlocking bases allow figures to be rearranged for display in any configuration.
