Back

Q: Let's start with a little about yourself so that we can get to know you?
A: My name is Heath Williamson and I live in Phenix City AL. and I am 28 years old. I am married almost 3 years now. NO kids.

Q: What's your earliest Star Wars memory?
A: Seeing ANH at age 2 or 3 I forget cause the theatres ran the movie for like a year back then. I just remember being amazed by it. I also remember seeing the Holiday Special and watching it with my Mom. I also remember getting my first batch of toys X-mas 1980 I got some figures and a cloud car.

Q: How and when did you begin to collect Star Wars and what was the first item you purchased?
A: : I was into Star Wars since I was a kid back in the 70's and I had nearly all the figures up to POTF when I got into GI Joe. I don't remember the fist item I purchased, but I remember going to the stores as a kid and getting figures with my parents and my grandparents. When I was a kid and I would go to the doctor my mom would always stop and get me a new figure to make me feel better. I also remember one year that I had the choice to go the fair or get a toy and I opted to get a Slave I. I still have it too.

Q: Do you collect everything or just select items?
A: Mainly 3 3/4 figures, my favorite line to collect is Vintage.

Q: What are some of your favorite collection pieces and what are some of your least favorite pieces?
A: My fav. is my loose vintage and Moc vintage figures. I am 4 figures away from having a loose Vintage collection. I have them all up to POTF. I have 34 Vintage MOC's,my least fav pieces well probably micro machine stuff, since I sold or gave most of it away.

Q: Are you a MOC/MIB collector?
A: Both,mostly MOC though.I have to have it MOC first before I open. I have around 400 MOC items. I do open most of my vehicles though.

Q: : Let's say I would hand you one figure right now, what would you want?
A: A MOC vintage vinyl cape jawa, I would also want a Canadian vacuum packed Dengar,it would be a toss up between those two figures.

Q: What currently unmade toy would be your dream collectible and why?
A: I would like a Dengar Ship, I forget the name of it, but I have a pic of it.

Q: Do you make or change any of your figures in your collection?
A: I have made a few customs. I made a custom Anakin Tusken Raider attack and had someone make a custom card. I also customized a few clone troopers. I totally suck at it though, so custumizing is something I am a fan of but don't do much.

Q: Do you and/or other's make fan films?
A: Cool you should ask.....my local fan club is making a fan film and I am scoring the music for it. I just finished writing a theme song for boosk (Click Here to hear)it is called "bossk's theme". The film is about Boosk and IG-88 and they are on endor right after ROTJ,that is about all I know right now,they are about to start shooting it really soon .

Q: : Did you make any before this one?
A: No this is the first one, here is a link to my colllection it has not been updated in a few months, but it can give you a basic idea of what I have.

Q: So after all the fan film is done do you plan on sending it in?
A: I think they are going to post it on the interent and all, I am not in charge of any of that. I am just doing the music for it,but I am sure they are going to promote it the guy doing it is really good at costumes and effects and stuff he has actually made a real life IG-88 with a working flame thrower.

Q: I hope to see the movie and thank you for doing this Interview,do you have any thing you would like to add?
A: Yes please check out my song "1980's Figure", it is free to download and totally legal I want more people to know about it.I am totallly cool with people making copies of it and giving it out to friends or whatever.You have my permission. .
