Once again, we have teamed up with our good friends at Imperial Shipyards for a joint customizing contest. The theme is simple – make a custom of something you think we might see in the upcoming film, Star Wars: Episode VII, and post a pic of your work in our forums at Yakface, or in their dedicated thread.
Check out all the details by clicking on the above banner, including the cool prizes we’ll be giving away!
After what most collectors are calling a lackluster showing from Hasbro at Toy Fair, at least we still have our customizing community to get excited about! So without further adieu, we’ve got several more great custom works to show off!
First off, forum member glitchedwolf shares several great customs, including a battle hardened Stormtrooper unit that you can check out here.
Next up, Scarrviper has added a couple of crisp Rebel Technicians from Return of the Jedi.
Amazing customizer DarthDaddy also gets in on the fun with a very cool Jedi General that you can see more pics of here.
Last but not least, check out this interesting take on Luke Skywalker by WookieBalls.

The 2013 shrunken down “mid-sized” vehicles have begun to show up at Toys”R”us stores and I came across them today in the St. Louis area. They are priced at $21.99.
Not a bad price, but personally it’s hard to get excited by smaller versions of vehicles that we already have… I’d like for Hasbro to realize that much of the problem with the 2012 mid-sized vehicle failure wasn’t the price, it was that everyone already had the vehicles they were trying to push… but enough of the rant, good luck on those toy runs if you’re looking for these!
Our friends at Jeditemplearchives have come through with some views of the new Movie Heroes card backs – check out their gallery after the jump!
Photonovel guru Lance Quazar has made a triumphant return to the Star Wars storytelling realm with his new photonovel effort, titled Aayla Secura: Resurrection.
Check it out after the jump!
Yakface forum members continue to pump out amazing custom work – now’s the time for a long overdue spotlight!
First up, forum member darth naes has updated Hasbro’s Nom Anor figure with a much more menacing look – check it out and his latest customs here.
We’ve also got a great update by WookieBalls, who has created the ultimate Leebo figure, and much more! You will want to head on over to his custom thread and enjoy the latest customs he’s shared with us too.
Next up, forum member Stronox will blow your socks off with his take on Darth Traya from the KOTOR series.
Finally, if you’re looking to add a bit of variety to the armor your Gamorreans sport, head on over to my customs thread and check out a way to make some different helmets for your TVC pigs.
Toys”R”Us is running another BOGO 50% off sale this week, which is a good buy if you can score TVC figures at this price. Especially since they are the only retailer from my experience over the past year that has consistently stocked figures (sales like this will help do that!).
The current Yakfinities Customizing Challenge focuses on residents of Tatooine, and has already brought about some outstanding entries.
We welcome all customizers to take part, which will enter you in for a random prize drawing — or if you aren’t the customizing type, you can still check out the latest entries by clicking here.
