WHO: "The Ghetto Geppetto aka Roy Miles Jr. is an Oakland based artist/animator/toymaker. His 'Biddies(BITDZ)' toy line was the first American blind box mini figure as well as being one of the 'Vinyl Toy' movement’s early pioneers. His work is inspired by childhood memories of Oakland, cartoons from the 50's to the 80's and the Golden age of Hip Hop (87-95)."
