Galaxy’s Edge 6″ Mountain Trooper and Customizable Droids En Route
Checking the overseas shipping info tonight shows that the individual release of the 6″ Black Series First Order Mountain Trooper (Galaxy’s Edge) and Galaxy’s Edge Customizable Droids from Hasbro are arriving soon. These support our previous reports on the Galaxy’s Edge + Target partnership we rumored last month.
Target also had a sponsored tweet this morning teasing the pending reveal of this partnership.
Yakface Patreon Membership is Now Live
Well, I’ve had a lot of requests to create a Patreon page for the site in recent weeks, and after some encouragement, I’ve decided to open one. First and foremost, thank you to all of the yakface.com followers (site and social media) for the kind words lately regarding keeping collectors up-to-date with the latest rumors and (disastrous) preorder launches. (It blows me away that corporations the size of Hasbro and Walmart can screw preorders up so badly and on so many levels.)
For the most part, the Patreon page will serve as a blog separate from the site with some more random thoughts but it will still include occasional previews of upcoming articles, rumors, announcements and more. Patreon members can also make content suggestions as well.
We’ll see how this goes as I do spend a lot of my free time hunting for unannounced product which I’m sure will interest you more than my ramblings anyway. Donate what you wantper month – there’s no tiered levels of content at this point.
Again, thank you for the kind words and an advanced thank you to those that donate/contribute to the page to support the site. MTFBWY.

Error: 6″ TBS Snowspeeder Graphics reversed
While watching Robo’s review of the new 6″ Black Series Snowspeeder, I noticed an unfortunate error on the graphics behind the cockpit. They have been printed on backwards on both side of the canopy. *Sadface*
Update: correct “ZZ” versions do exist. Which do you have?
