How and when did you start collecting?

I’ve been collecting since 2010. My father introduced me to Sideshow Collectibles before he passed and I’ve been hooked every since. It was an amazing bonding experience for the both of us as we both share a love for comics, and anything science fiction…mainly Star Wars

What do you collect? Does your collection have a theme, such as Star Wars Collectibles, Batman, etc.?

I’m 100% a loyal Star Wars collector. I saw the original film in 1977 and it has had an undeniable influence on my life. It’s allow me to be creative on so many platforms. Once side introduced its Star Wars line up, I was a kid all over again.

What makes your collection unique?

What makes my collection so uniques is that I’m a super completionist. I normally theme my collection according to themes in a movie. Eventually I’m going to create back drops for each. In any case,  my collections are and extension of my personality.

What are your favorite or the most prized pieces in your collection?

My 2 favorites right now are my Obi Wan and Jyn Erso pieces. Just the detail alone is so inspirational and breath taking. Also the sideshow Luke from the empire Hoth and Dagobah scene. I truly love the attention to detail and the sculpting .  I’m just a huge fan of detail and movie accuracy.

What items are on your wish-list?

I’m trying to get my hands on a Leia from New Hope and also the Mythos Obi Wan when it’s released. I have a few pieces in mind but those are my mains. Also possibly a flame trooper eventually.
