Displaying My Phantom Menace Toys After 25+ Years in Storage

Patreon:   / sweatingsmallstuffart  

Real ones know the REAL Star Wars Day—May 25th*—is just around the corner. So, to mark the occasion, after 25+ years, I decided to finally liberate my Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace action figures from their cardboard and plastic cages!

For the better part of a decade, these little guys have been wallowing in a box in my parents attic... but not anymore! Today, they get the proper display they deserve: a conveniently sized baseball bat display case! → https://www.michaels.com/10174362

As always, thanks for watching. If you liked that, I've got more cool small stuff planned for this year! Be sure to subscribe—and, hey, why not follow me on Instagram while you're here?   / sweatingsmallstuffart  

Until next time, maybe I crack open my Episode II & III figures next?

Definitely not an excuse for putting this video off until after May the 4th 👀
