When it comes to completing an action figure collection, some folks forget about the accessories. I'm not talking about little plastic weapons, but instead the complementary pieces that flesh out display rooms and bring collections to life. If you need to accessorize your toy room, look no farther than the newest action figure endeavor on Kickstarter.

A quick trip over to Kickstarter will reveal Epic Paintings of Star Wars Action Figures, a project from Robert Burden designed to fund two absolutely enormous paintings of vintage Star Wars action figures. Each piece will be 140 square feet of majestically-rendered action figures, and will feature a central character determined by a tournament-style poll of supporters.

You might wonder why anyone would help fund the creation of some random dude's paintings, but there are a few good reasons. First and foremost is that you get some cool swag in return! Depending on the amount you pledge, there are sketches, posters, high-quality prints, and even clothes up for grabs. You can even commission your very own original painting if you're willing to put down enough cash. The next best reason is because the project's creator, Robert Burden, puts out some incredible work that glorifies our hobby and brings it to the forefront of artistic consciousness. These are the kinds of steps that lend credence and significance to the toys we collect.

I've been an enormous fan of Robert Burden's work for some time, and I currently have two of his prints (Foot Soldier and Battle Cat Statant) hanging in my toy room. He was kind enough to send them my way some years ago, and even included a hoodie which remains my absolute favorite piece of clothing to this day. I can personally vouch that his products and his art are top notch, so you won't be disappointed if you do decide to support his project.

And to top everything off, he's made the entire process a fun one. There are unique and engaging pledge rewards like personal sketches and paintings, an entertaining video, and a fun game to determine the outcome of each painting. Events like this one don't come around often in the action figure world, and I love every second of it.

Robert is a guy that really loves his toys, and this project is for anyone who does the same. I'll be pledging soon, and I hope you'll help me push this project past its goal. Before you check out Epic Paintings of Star Wars Action Figures, just be sure to set aside some time to be left in awe.
