Comments on: The First and Last Time I Saw Eddie Wires http://www.actionfigureinsider.com/marxblog/?p=563 Julius Marx was know the world over for 10 years as the title character in the long running TV cop-on-the-edge show "Hockuly!" Now he writes about and takes pictures of toys and attempts to put all his weird knowledge to work for him. He has been collecting toys his entire life.

Thanks very much for sharing it with us. You’ve succeeded in conveying to us who knew Eddie only peripherally, or perhaps not at all, the larger-than-life aspect of this amazing human being.

Though I only spent a short amount of time with Eddie, it would seem by all accounts he was of the ‘what you see is what you get’ variety. An extremely rare breed of human being, and I’m sure one of the reasons he will be missed so much.

Maybe we should all go out and raise a toast to him this weekend? and/or do a random act of kindness in his honor?

I do want to say you are freaking me out a bit with his birthday. I thought it was June 5, the day after mine (re: pic), but you say in the write-up it’s May 25, which would have been Firstborn’s first birthday.
Who’s stalking who? ;)

As I said before, you’ve made me feel like I knew Eddie and your loss is now mine as well. Cherish your memories, that’s what keeps great people like Eddie alive.

I didn’t know Eddie very well, but was always hoping to get to know him better. Sadly, I’ll never get that chance. I’m thankful you stayed for that post-SDCC dinner with him. That will always be a time to cherish.
