The Force Is Strong With Him!
Elias and I came across this post on Action Figure Empire and we asked if we could post it on our blog too! When Elias saw a fellow Star Wars collector who shared his name and who was in need of my assistance, we jumped at the chance to offer a hand. We'll be sending some custom action figures his way and we have a feeling you all will too. We've been informed that he'd like a version of himself as a Padawan. We checked and we couldn't find an appropriate body for the job. I'll look around on ebay, and see if I can find one. If anyone has a body for the job and wants to volunteer for the project, his picture is below. If not I'll try and locate one. If there is one thing I know about the customizing community it's the desire of the community to get involved in projects such as this. Therefore, I figured I'd get the word out to as many of you as possible.
If anyone wants to front page this it would be cool.
The original post appears below:
Today I want to turn this blog's attention to the story of a young Star Wars action figure collector named Eli. Eli is madly passionate about all things Star Wars and Star Wars toys. He's an outgoing little guy with a great big smile and he's also into arts and crafts, and World War 2. Eli is has been diagnosed with a rare life-threatening disease called Severe Aplastic Anemia, a disease of the bone marrow. Severe Aplastic Anemia also affects the immune system making it difficult for those who have it to be out in public. You can imagine how this makes it hard to get out and do things, visit with people, or even shop for Star Wars toys. We here at Action Figure Empire call for your support for young Eli, a fan, and a collector who needs all the support he can get right now. We ask that you donate one or more, Star Wars toys of any kind to Eli. You can Include a message of your own to Eli if you wish as well. Eli will be delighted to receive your generous donations. Please send them to:
Action Figure Empire
114 Oak Street Apt. D
Maybrook, NY 12543
From there we at AFE will then forward your generous donations to Eli. AFE is proud to create and participate in the official Toys for Eli Toy Drive. Please take a moment to contribute to Eli's Star Wars action figure collection. Every donation you give helps!
We give the Official Action Figure Empire Salute to Eli and his family.
Thank you for reading this and thank you so much for your donations!
May The Force Be With You All!

darthdaddy:
When I saw it I talked to Elias and we knew right away we wanted to participate. I'm really happy that there are other customizers that are hopping right on board too. Now, I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to send. I'll post whatever it is on here. Everyone else can do the same if they wish. I wish I was there too see him open all these things.

Darth Daddy, are you taking up a collection? If not a formal one, then we here at ISY will start one. Let me know ASAP and we'll get cracking on this. We need to ship this guy plenty of goodies! I'd really like to send him a complete TCW collection, at very least from this year. Yarders, start gathering your extras because one way or another, we're going to take care of this young man!
