 ***LMK would like to thank Mahmood Nasser Al-Yousif for creating the above video. Mahmood stopped by our shop at Union Square during the 2012 Holiday Season. He purchased a few WannaBe Dragon Monsters for his daughters and took some footage and made the video. It looks great and we are glad to have met him! You can check out Mahmood's blog here.
