Photonovel Updates in our Forums

061013spotlight85percent

The Photnovol Section in the Yakface Forums has exploded over the last week with several new installments being posted by Star Wars fans from around the globe!

First, forumite jedimasteradi kicks things off with an all new OT-era series, titled The Adventures of Jared Yunis.

Next, fans of the Clone Wars series will be sure to want to read up on CloneCrazy’s relaunch of his Shroud of Darkness series that kicks off right after the events from the Battle of Geonosis.

Forum member Choi also gets in on the action,  as he shares another chapter in his Alliance Intelligence storyline that takes place shortly prior to the Battle of Yavin.

Last but not least, photonovel master hangarbay94 picks back up on his X-Wing Alliance series too!

Check them out and let these hard working customizers know what you think of their fan-fiction adventures!

Yakfinities #48 Continues

The current Yakfinities Customizing Challenge continues through the end of June, and if the Gotal custom shown above by forumite Peakob 1 is any indication, this has been one of the best ones yet!

Head on over to the forums to check out the latest entries – but be prepared, if you are upset by Hasbro’s handling of the Clone Wars line, some of these customs might break your heart!

You think your toy runs are frustrating…

Just yesterday, I came across a rare sight – a TVC Darth Malgus at my local Target.  After posting this recent find in our forums, Yakface reader Darth Bobo shared a Malgus find as well… but not exactly what he was hoping for.  Head on over to the forums for a closer look.

Personal Note – In this instance, the swapper put in a pretty decent B.A.D. figure in the Sith Lord’s stead (perhaps out of some sort of sense of guilt?), but figure swapping isn’t acceptable, regardless of what figure is replaced in the packaging.

Update: Black Series Limited Availability?

052913black

Fans have already been skeptical about the upcoming Black Series due to the uninspired assortment of figures we’ve seen so far.

And now, our friends at Jedi Temple Archives are reporting some potentially disturbing news with the future of the Black Series.   Nothing is confirmed yet, but it appears that retail-wise, Hasbro may only be distributing these figures to North America.  Click here to read what they have uncovered.  We are keeping our fingers crossed for our overseas friends that this is not the case.

EDIT: Enhance your calm everyone. Preview (Diamand Comic) will only be selling these to their existing accounts that reside US/Canada. Any other accounts will have to find other means of order fullfillment for these lines. – Jayson
