Kirk Hindman Came to Hasbro on May 17th 1982 moving up from Severna Park Maryland. He was a recent Graduate of Towson State University ( now Towson University) where he graduated with honors majoring in Fine Arts with an emphasis in Sculpture. He was brought into Hasbro by his friend Bill Culbertson who was at that time a Hasbro Sculptor and also a Towson and Rhode Island School of Arts and Design (RISD) graduate.
 

Joining the small R&D team Kirk immediately became involved with all current Hasbro sculpting projects including Smurfs, Charmkins , GI Joe and My Little Pony. G 1 Pony Sculptures from 1983 onward were sculpted by the small Hasbro Sculpture Department for quite a few years and Kirk generated multiple pattern sculpts notably the “Sea Shell” and “Bubbles” ponies.

In 1989 Kirk married Louise Rapoza who was the Sculpture Department Administrative Assistant and they had a son Nathaniel who is currently an Electronics Engineer. Eventually in 1993 Hasbro honored Kirk by using his likeness to create the remake of the GI Joe Dragonfly Pilot “Wild Bill” .

Kirk Continued to work for Hasbro in house until 2013 when he accepted a retirement offer but continues to freelance for the company assisting in prototype development. Semi retired now, Kirk and Louise currently live in Rumford Rhode Island and continues in his long held hobby of Revolutionary War and French and Indian War re-enacting and antique restoration. Kirk is currently a Board member of Hearthside Museum in Lincoln Rhode Island and Vice President and former President of the New England Antique Arms Association.
