In the Star Wars community, customizers create the action figures that never made it into the Kenner toy line.
Ryan Shaw and Gary Ray Weaver are two of the most prolific and talented customizers in the galaxy, and have designed some of the most popular custom figures ever.
And during the May 4th weekend, they shared their stories, challenges and breakthroughs with more than 150 passionate Star Wars collectors at the Rogue Fun collectors weekend in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Learn about how each artist contributed meaningful additions to the collecting hobby in the panel titled “Customizing the Galaxy.”
It’s a wonderful tale of talent and friendship, and highlights the boundless creativity our fellow Star Wars fans possess.
Join host David Quinn for part two of a new five-week series that focuses on the fascinating presentations from the Rogue Fun event and brings the full panels to you!
This is how collectors bring missing characters to life. And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!
