May The Toys Be With You - New Walk Museum, Leicester

Once upon a time in a galaxy far far... wait a second lets start that again,

Once upon a time in Leicester a collection of vintage toy figures, spacecraft and artwork from a popular science fiction film franchise where brought together by collector Matt Fox at the cities New Walk museum.

Fans both young and old jumped into their transport craft (cars) eager to relive countless childhood hours spent recreating scenes from that adventure among the stars.

May The Toys Be With You brings together the UK`s finest collection of Action Figures, Spacecraft and Artwork from the popular generation spanning Star Wars films, toys from which where created at nearby Palitoy based in Coalville (Leicestershire).
Being the main UK distributors of the films toy line Palitoy where behind the unprecedented demand for the iconic toys that went on to sell more than the films that inspired them from 1977 - 1985 an estimated 300 million figures where sold.

My film aims to bring a flavor of the exhibition and hopefully bring back some of viewers own memories of playing with these iconic toys.
