Ian, that is a great custom mate

cheers Andy, yeah I have not really seen it done before, it is a cool custom

It's beautifully done. Even looks like Kenny Baker.

Ian

apparently Kenny doesn't think so  the guy offers carded figures signed by Kenny from time to time, can't find the link at the moment, but heres a pic I found

That falcon and x-wing look better than some of the miniatures used in the films lol

Ah cheers mate, nice of you to say, i'll never be able to afford a master replicas falcon so this is the next best thing, need to redo the x wing as I donated the last one to a charity raffle, I have the unpainted one waiting to go, just need the weather to warm up a bit

Always great to see your collection

cheers!
Started to collect another line, I believe there is only 13 figures in this wave, the ralph McQuarrie concept figures, should keep me busy for a while, hoping to get them all on a budget, the first three cost me around £20.00 with postage, I have an autographed trading card he signed later in life while ill so its just his initials but should look good in a starcase
got the first three figures in

This small line is one of my favorite, not to mention the 30th Anniversary is my favorite modern line! Before the pictures uploaded I was going to suggest you could also get the General McQuarrie they made in that line, but I see you thought about it too

Oh and by the way, I got this the other day which is a nice addition :

There are only 6 of them but they are fun to collect!

Thanks for the link Nicolas, didn't know about those cars I'll see about getting them to

I'd love to complete that McQuarrie collection but there's just a couple of them that have gotten pretty steep.

I had the SDCC exclusive Obi-Wan & Yoda 2 pack for a while but I traded it for a loose complete Leia that was really white lol

Hopefully i'll get them all eventually, i'm not in a rush, nice to have a focus rather than just picking up random carded which is what I've been doing

had a great Christmas and got some cool star wars goodies, first up from my wife a 3 pack of 18 inch figures

Wow, I thought the Gentle Giant figures where big.

Yeah they are a good size, haven't got many of them, hard to display them being so big, need to put up some shelves I think

decided to leave my mini tree up all year, it'll just have star wars decorations on it, bit crammed in there

also heres my autograph wall, got most of the cast, but my main focus is behind the scenes people, I find them far more interesting, got a few not framed up yet including gilbert taylor the cinematographer for star wars
