If you are in the Richmond, Virginia area this upcoming weekend, be sure to check out the Virginia Comicon and Toy Show on Saturday, February 7, 2015 that isbeing held at the Richmond Raceway Complex. Star Wars custom action figure artist Luke Sprywalker will have a table at the event where he will be selling Star Wars toys, as well as some of his custom action figures and dioramas.
Luke Sprywalker is a great ambassador for the Star Wars customizing community. Sprywalkeris regularly promoting customizing contests in fan forums and he's a custom action figure moderator for the forums at Imperial Shipyards. Luke Sprywalker was also an excellent representative for the hobby because he does diorama work and does more than just dabble when it comes to vehicle creation. Sprywalker even created the characters for the photo novel Star Wars Apocalypse written by Nate Ciurla aka Kessel Run Imports and with graphic design and action figures created by Julian Maurice aka Hangarbay94. Luke Sprywalker has had his hands in every aspect of the hobby. The Jabba's Palace diorama he built was full of his custom figures and were on display the entire length of Celebration VI at the Diorama Workshop. He was also one of three Star Wars custom action figure artists to speak at the first ever Star Wars Custom Action Figure Panel held at Star Wars Celebration VI. It's worth going to the event just to see Luke Sprywalker's work up close and in person.
