Star Wars Action Figures

Star Wars Action Figures


     Where does one start? I am often asked this question by individuals who wish to start a collection. There are so many action figures that they seem lost. I always recommend the following:
  • Vintage (1977 to 1985)
  •  Neo Classic (1996)
  • Prequel (1999 to the present)

     Some collectors start with one line and add all of the Spaceships, Playsets and Creatures as they continue their quest to complete a full collection which is really hard due to the fact that variations and errors do exist.

     Collecting can be highly addictive. For the items that are really "rare" such as the Vinyl Caped Jawa or the "ultra rare" Obi-Wan Kenobi with Double Telescoping Lightsaber, some collectors know that they might never be able to own an original. So, they resort to obtaining a reproduction to facilitate their collection. For some collectors, they choose to use a reproduction for a space in their collection until they can replace it with an original.

     This is one of my pride and joys of my collection. It is the Rare Star Wars Vinyl Caped Jawa Action Figure. It is a nice touch for my collection for it complements my Blue Snaggletooth and Yak Face action figures. Check out the ebay Guide that I wrote about how to determine if the Cape is a replacement or not.

     Recently, the amout of emails has tripled with people all over the world asking me questions about items that they have in their collection or they wish to sell. I strongly recommend that the best place to sell their items is right here on ebay. The words "Star Wars" are often searched on ebay rather frequently.

     I choose to specialize in the field of collecting Star Wars Holographs. A Holograph is a solid piece of plastic that represents " Holographic Images" from the Star Wars films. I have often found collecting Holographs, Holographic figures, Ghosts, Spirits or whatever one chooses to call them fascination.  There is a small but growing trend towards the Holographic market.

     As a collector, I choose to share the knowledge that I have to others. Ebay is a perfect venue for me to reach out to the world on a global basis. I just recently started a Blog for one ebayer in regards to just one all time universally know character of the Star Wars universe, Yoda .
An example of a Holograph is the recently released Bonus Miniature Boba Fett the Bounty Hunter sold with the regular three inch Star Wars Saga line of action figures.

      Feel free to comment, ask questions  or  make any suggestions. After all, I firmly believe in sharing knowledge to others through ebay on a global basis.
