Custom Toys and Packaging
Maintained by Gus Lopez (gus@theswca.com)

Welcome to the spot that raises more questions than any other gallery in this entire archive. People are intrigued by the sheer creativity of some of these fan-made figures and the custom packaging that further accentuates these works of art. Unfortunately, for those interested parties, they really aren't for sale. Occasionally one may find someone willing to make a figure for them but for the most part these things were made in small runs and if you missed out then, well you will just have to wait and hope that someone else will pick up the responsibilities later on. You may read limited edition on many items you can buy at the store, but custom figures are truly limited. Each is made by hand and after awhile the creator gets tired and/or bored with them and decides to move onto another type of figure or just stops making them altogether. This, of course, doesn't mean that you can't enjoy looking at them here though.

The figures here represent the skills of many individuals. Some excel at repainting existing figures, some are good at piecing together various parts from different figures to create a new character, some people can make items from scratch, and some folks are handy with the secrets of creating the packaging for the figures. Better yet, some of these people are masters of all four. The creation procedure varies from person to person and what works for one may not be suitable for another. The end result, however, is usually a figure that demands attention and respect.

This gallery of the Star Wars Collectors Archive has shown tremendous interest and growth. In fact, we get more image submissions for this section than any other section in the archive and unfortunately, we cannot take all submissions, because there just isn't the room. Fortunately, there are some excellent Star Wars customization sites such as FFURG, The Custom Alliance, Moff Peter's Dominion, Philip's Star Wars Toy Photo Archive, and Fett's Place. These pages are devoted to images of custom Star Wars toys and many of the overflow images and information we recieve get forwarded to these sites, for more in-depth coverage of Star Wars customization.

Another good source for information about action figure customization is the Star Wars Customizers list. There is a direct sign up on the Rebelscum website at http://www.rebelscum.com/listform.asp.
