(CNN) Most Star Wars toys spend their lives on collectors' shelves, or strewn on the floor by kids shouting "pew, pew, pew." But a few lucky action figures (don't call them dolls) get to live out scenes that look like they came straight from George Lucas' imagination.

That may sound like the plot of a new "Toy Story" crossover movie. But if you look at Instagram hastags like #starwarstoypix and #starwarstoycrew , you'll see that it's really happening, thanks to some dedicated photographers.

Creative Director Trevor Williams has been a Star Wars fan since he was nine and started collecting action figures again as an adult after "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" was announced.

"I bought a couple of figures to put on my desk. I told myself that would be enough," he said. It wasn't.

"I would re-pose them every few days and my inner retentive artist forced me to pose them precisely and realistically."
