Wow, colour me impressed, now that's how these babies are meant to be displayed, love it
You've got some choice vintage Star Wars items there too, and I love the many customs
Also nice to know I'm not the only one who collects both Action Force and Star Wars, though my Action Force is heavily GI Joe slanted
Thanks for sharing

Now that is seriously Awesome!!!
Really brings meaning to the words Army Builder.
I see you have some of the new Star Wars figures with the coins, I bought a couple for donations
to customs, but they seem to be buggers to take apart. Very articulated though.

Thanks for the kind words guys,
Star Wars was the first thing I collected and after getting most of that it kind of naturally led into Action Force - both my main childhood toys, both made by Palitoy....
There's loads of custom star wars figures [150+]. After collecting all the regular ones, that was where collecting led me. There's a really talented girl who makes 4 new figures for me each month. I send her lists and she comes up with the goods! She's done a few Action Force bits for me as well [hollowed out SAS helmets, the yellow proto skimmer].
There's a few new modern Star Wars figures, but not many. I only really buy them if they are a Cantina aliens or someone from Jabba's palace as I'm a sucker for those particular scenes.
There's plenty Action Force there that came from your direction Andy! Loads of great stuff that wouldn't be there or wouldn't be complete were it not for the seemingly endless supplies from Courtney's Capers! And I am a real sucker for army building, though there's not really any room for any more...
I've been told that by she-who-must-be-obeyed that the room will have to return to a bedroom in a year or two [children permitting] so I guess I have to appreciate it now before it's gone...

Did the lady customiser in question produce the Vlix figure in your collection?
I know I'll never owe an actual Vlix (way too pricey) but I've always had a mind to get me a custom version
