On Sunday, April 7, 2013,
Customs for the Kid brought their traveling
museum of Star Wars custom action figures to the
Star Wars Spectacular
event in Woodbridge, NJ. Attendees were treated to an exhibition of
Star Wars custom action figures created by talented customizing artists
such as:
Stronox, Sillof, Luke Sprywalker, Chewie, Wraithnine,
Hangarbay94, Peakob1, SithHappens, Omar Rivera, Incom aka Mr. Black's
Customs, Lucasclones, Stocos28, JACKOFTRADZE, Darth Daddy, Elias, and
more. Also on display were video tutorials
that are featured on our blog as well as the entertaining Youtube cult
classic show
Kessel Run Review.
The display table stayed pretty packed throughout the day and
brought attention to the blog's online museum of Star Wars custom action
figures and the featured artists. We were really impressed with the crowd
turnout, and loved the reaction of all the attendees to what we had on
display. It was even cooler when our table recieved visits from Star Wars customizers
darthstreams and
Dave Castle aka StarWarsGeek.
StarWarsGeek even brought us a bag of his casted heads that he sells from his
online store. Hopefully we will get to take the show on the road again
sometime soon.
Everything set up at our table.
Dad had his
"Customs I Wish I Owned" videos playing throughout the day.
All the figures were on display with white tags displaying the names of the artists who created each figure.
Getting everything together the night before.
Setting up the display cases at home while we create all the display tags on the printer. The "Mando" was created by
Luke Sprywalker, the "Star Wars - 1942: Chuck Backer" was created by
Sillof, and the "Nar Shaddaa Interceptor Patrol Vehicle" was created by
Hangarbay94. We later added
Incom's "Weeguay Speeder Bike" to the display case. We almost didn't bring it because Dad was afraid it would get damaged in transit. I was right and it made it there and back just fine.
