It’s not easy to display your cool Star Wars stuff. Your figures don’t really look good in those protective plastic bubbles and display cards just sitting there on a shelf. Even if you buy two of everything so you can display one, it’s still hard to make this stuff look good while on display. Well, Faraway Vintage is here to help.
They offer some unique themed displays, offering pieces of screen-used props, set decoration swatches, film location elements, vintage Kenner action figures, Micro Machines, original Topps trading cards, and first-run 35mm film. Each display is nicely put together and themed as a mini collection suitable for an art gallery or toy museum wall. I used to have all of these as a kid, except for the 35 film, so I would love to see some of these on my wall.
This all started as a personal project when creator Lloyd was looking for a way to show off his Star Wars collectibles and props in a neat way. So he made a few to start. Soon enough, other fans saw these and wanted some for themselves. They’re not cheap – at about $600 to $700 each, but they really are great way to display some Star Wars memorabilia in your home.
