Chris Georgoulias (US)

Chris Georgoulias rekindled his original childhood toy collecting spirit in 1990 and has been highly active in the hobby ever since. He has been a part of the Collecting Track program at every Star Wars Celebration event, worldwide and has been an editor on the Star Wars Collectors Archive website since 1997.

Chris can be seen in the Plastic Galaxy documentary film, is a frequent guest on some Star Wars collecting podcasts, and has contributed content to various books and magazine articles. Focusing largely on toy prototype material and film memorabilia, Chris has traveled the U.S. to meet with hundreds of toy and movie industry professionals in his search for treasures and information. Chris’ other areas of collecting interest include merchandising literature, store displays, industry employee memorabilia, bootlegs, and rare production items.
