A legend of the toy industry and the man who quite literally shaped our childhoods, Mark Boudreaux is currently battling the aftereffects of COVID and waiting for a lung transplant. While there is little we can do to help, we can keep him in our thoughts and send our best wishes and hopes to Mark and his family for a steady recovery and our thanks for endless hours of fun, creativity and precious memories.
