I've begun carding figures that are not currently on in The Vintage Collection line-up. As a person who displays all my carded figure only from the Vintage Collection, at this rate it will take Hasbro 800 years to put the figures I want on a card, and I so gave up waiting. I've made many more, but I have extras of some of the figures I've got, and put them on cards to sell.
Note that all CUSTOM figures I sell my contain minor variations on the picture(s) shown. Figure poses, accessories and blister positions may vary slightly.
FAQ
- How are the cards made?
After designing the digital image of the card, the cards are printed on cardstock. There is a front and a back (see pictures). I blacken the edges to give it a cleaner look if viewed from the side.
- What is the design based on?
The front is based on the most current design of Vintage Collection cards, and the movie logo is a reflection of the movie logo as they are currently produced by Hasbro, with obviously as little creative license for those figures which have no official vintage logo (like Rebels). Other customizers use their own design and these I feel don't mesh well with my own collection.
The back design is a mish-mash of the Vintage Collection backs when it first started and as they are now. The current back design has a lot officialese on the back I feel unnecessary and I thought it would be nice to have a photo of where the figure came from.
- How are the figures mounted in the blister?
I use the tray from the original carded figure to keep the figure in place. In the hi-res photos for some figures, this tray is a little obviously cut, in others it's practically invisible. You can see this tray if you look for it, but at a proper viewing distance it looks great. It's certainly better than placing the figure loosely in the blister, or even doing so with a coloured matching piece of cardboard like other customizers do, or like the pre-POTF from '77-'83 were.
- Are the figures custom?
No, I don't customize figures.
- Do you create reproduction cards?
No, there are some really great repro card producers out there. I'm only seeking to add Vintage Collection figures to the list, not reproduce.
- What other figures do you have?
I've done many - contact me and I'll send you a list of the ones I've done if you are curious to see. However, many are not for sale.
I will combine shipping on auctions.
