Sideshow Featured Collector Chris Robinson

Location: Winnipeg, Manitoba

I started collecting when Master Replicas came about. I was super interested in Han Solo‘s blaster, but never got it. Instead I got the first lightsaber made, which was Luke Skywalker‘s from Return Of The Jedi.

I have been collecting the statues now for the last 4 years or so. The detail is amazing, and it’s always a conversation piece when people come over.

My entire collection is Star Wars, minus one Superman statue. I’ve always been a huge Star Wars fan since I was a little kid. But I love what Superman represents, and his connection with Lois Lane.

I’ve got two lightsabers, one is the signature series, the Medal Of Yavin, Boba Fett‘s blaster, and the Emperor‘s cane. Then I have Darth Maul, Boba Fett, a Royal Naboo Guard, the Red Guard from Return of the Jedi, and a Darth Vader. And my Man of Steel, which is my only one that isn’t Star Wars.

I display my collection against an Iron Man Red wall, with the beam that is also painted the same color. On the beam is my DC Villain 3D covers framed. Everything is in light up cabinets so it really stands out at night against the red.

His favorites
I’d have to say my Man of Steel statue, and Boba Fett and his blaster. I had the privilege of meeting Jeremy Bulloch, who played him in the first movies, and told him about my blaster in my living room. I also have the Boba Fett symbol tattooed on my arm. He has been my favorite character in the Star Wars universe. I think the entire wall speaks to the volume of dedication I have collecting.

His wishlist
Oh if I could, a life-size Han Solo frozen in carbonite. I’ve wanted that forever! With working lights! Oh that would be great!
