My Custom Carded George Lucas 6" Figure
- Thread starter azheat01
- Start date
I was able to mount the card images today. I used a thicker piece of plastic from a For Sale sign as a base to give the card some weight and rigidness. I took a Sharpie to the edges to cover the white so you can't see it from the side. I also finished the clapper board, I think it will add to the piece. Just need to work on the bubbles next........

Thanks!
And with that, this is a wrap. I think it looks good, I'm real happy with how it turned out. It has a vintage feel and displays very nice with my other figures. I'd love to meet George one day and have him sign this!

Thats looking good. Although I find the info on the clapper odd as that camera was designed for 2002s Attack of the Clones....Yet I also understand wanting to go with the original date of filming Star Wars.
Thanks, yeah, I wasn’t too picky with accuracy. It’s an older George, so just wanted to add the clapper board as a bit of nostalgia. Just think of it as an artifact……

Great figure. I keep thinking there should be a bottle of Dos Equis as an accessory as well.
Now for John Carpenter's THING shoot.

This looks fantastic!! The only comment I have is that figures are normally set on a vacuformed backing inside the bubble.
Thanks. But I was going for a retro look similar to the figures sold in the late 70s, those didn't have trays and had card inserts between the legs. This is displayed next to some of my vintage carded figures so it fits in the collection nicely.
Awesome!
You should also include a hammer among the accessories along with a bootleg copy of The Star Wars Holiday Special…

Oh! Well, I didn't know that, and that fact makes this even cooler!

Great job on this project, AZHEAT01! This is like the 'fantasy Aurora kit' boxes that some folks have produced, however goes further by actually having the product included, not just the packaging.
When you mentioned meeting George and getting his signature on it, I occurred to me how nice it would be to have a second one you could give him... though, likely he has just a **little** memorabilia already!
;^)
