My Customs!

Customizers rebuild, and repaint SW figures and ships to create
their own characters, or characters never offered in the toy lines.


TC-44/"Lucky"
Accessories:
-Display base
-Galactic Battle Game die/dice
-Interchangeable left arm



TC-44, also known as "Lucky", was created from a C-3P0 figure. I thought that he has been around since before the events of TPM. He is also incredibly accedent prone. Yet, dispite all his horrible mishaps, he returns with an optimistic outlook, and a ready set of tool to repair his damages. So, since he keeps coming back, everyone started calling him "Lucky". I even hear him as sounding like Don Knotts. 

The Purpose Of This Blog...

Greetings Star Wars Fans! I'm Doodles, and I've been a fan and collector since I was 9 years old. I was one of the lucky ones who saw the first SW film, A New Hope, in theaters when it first came out. My first five figures were Chewbacca, Princess Leia, Obi-Wan "Ben" Kenobi, C-3P0, and R2-D2. I still have them, and the majority of my vintage (1970s-1980s) figures.

Here, I will post what I collect. Here's a simple run-down of what I collect...

-3 3/4" figures
-12" figures
-Ships & verhicles
-Beasts
-The films
-The soundtracks
-Weapons
-Calendars
-Posters
-Books/novels/comics
-Playsets
-Fan photos
-Art
-Photos from the net
-TV series on DVD

And sooo much more. I also collect a few odd items like PEZ despensers, trick-or-treak buckets, soft soap dispensers, etc. I'll post items as often as I can. So check back often! I'll also post some cool links to great SW sites.

Thanx for stopping by...and may the Force be with you!
