It really wasn’t until George Lucas came along with Star Wars in the late 1970s that movie tie-ins, particularly action figures, became a big part of a film’s marketing push. As a result you can get a miniature version of your favourite character from most films these days, but that wasn’t always the case.
eBay seller ‘Popsfartberger’ has been creating custom action figures for neglected movie heros and anti-heros for a while now. And if there’s a movie buff on your gift-giving list this year, there’s still plenty of time to grab one of these unique creations in time for the holidays.
