Another Ewok from Peakob1

Peakob1 just put up another Ewok on ebay, and he informed us that he is slowing down his collecting and customizing to a snails pace due to an upcoming move and he will consider selling any of his customs to any interested buyers. He has always been a favorite customizer in our house and we recently acquired some of his customs for our own collection. We can say if any bids are placed, they can be made with confidence. You are truly getting a superior product as far as as Star Wars custom action figures go and his body of work is about as cool as it comes.

Check the link below to see a collection of his work:

Pop Culture Community Raises Money for Disaster Relief Effort

Comic and Toy fans put their money where their hearts were last weekend for the first ever Heroes Give Hope charity auction. The Live Online Auction event featured dozens of custom made action figures and works of art specially commissioned for the event, and raised nearly $1000.00 for the Disaster relief agency ConvoyofHope.org

Sponsored by internet Auction House TheBigToyAuction.com, the first of its kind event showcased the talents of both professional and amateur artists from a broad range of fields. Each artist was asked to create and donate a piece in the theme of "everyday heroes." Pieces ranged from a tongue-in-cheek GI Joe based custom "bootleg" figure by Suckadelic Toys to UK Illustrator Dave Williams' original print featuring dozens of minimalist interpretations of Comic, TV, and Movie heroes arranged to form the word "Hope." The big item of the night, selling for $125.00 was a watercolor painting of the Iconic He-Man and Battlecat Figures by artist Jonathan Reincke. Other works included versions of Batman, Transformers, the X-Men, Micronauts and Star Wars as well as a number of original creations.

At the end of the event, over $900.00 worth of items were sold with 100% of the Hammer price going directly to Convoy of Hope. Convoy is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization providing disaster relief, feeding initiatives and community outreach. Since its founding in 1994, Convoy has provided aid to more than 45 million people in over 100 countries, including the victims of the Japan and Haiti earthquakes, the Joplin tornadoes, and New Orleans following hurricane Katrina.

Along with a donation by TheBigToyAuction.com, the event raised a total of $1000.00 for the charity. "We were so glad to have the opportunity to donate our services to this cause and help out, that we wanted to do a little more," said Christopher Noon, founder and auctioneer of TheBigToyAuction. "$1000.00 looked like a good round number, and we were already pretty close, so we thought 'what the heck?' and kicked in the rest ourselves. It's for a good cause."

The benefit auction could not have come at a better time, as Convoy is already responding to the damage caused by Hurricane Irene by delivering supplies across the eastern seaboard.

Plans are already under way to make this a recurring event. "We just want to thank everyone who got involved." says Noon. "We weren't sure at first how well it would be received, but our artists really came through for us with their donations. The fans came out in droves to bid, and the news sites and blogs really got behind this in a big way. Even though it was the first time we had taken on something this big, with trying to coordinate all of our donors, We learned a lot. It was great to be able to show the world what motivated Geeks can do when we work together. We're looking forward to doing it again, but even bigger next time."

Those wishing to donate directly to Convoy of Hope can do so through their website at:

"CUSTOMS FOR THE KID": An Introduction to My Collection

A few times I have been asked if I was a Star Wars toy collector as well as a customizer. When people who asked found out that I collect Star Wars figures as well as make them, they asked to see pictures of my collection. This video shows my bedroom and some of the Phantom Menace action figures that I set up in the living room over the weekend. I will create a separate page for this video and I will add videos to the collection page as I begin to showcase the other parts of my collection.

An Introduction to My Collection

IN THE NEWS


The first video installment of an introduction to my Star Wars action figure collection was featured on the front page of Imperial Shipyards.

COLD WEATHER KEL DOR FEMALE JEDI

This is a variation of my Kel Dor Jedi. I just added a few accessories to the action figure so I could use her in a cold weather environment too. I also used the CW Cold Weather Plo Koon head as a second head sculpt to use with the figure I originally created. I took the mask and hood for the figure as well. The chest plate from the Bultar Swan Comic Pack action figure helps accentuate her femininity.
