Yakfinities #48 – THE CLONE WARS
Hasbro may have given the Clone Wars line the cold shoulder, but Yakface forum members have expressed a different sentiment altogether. This new customizing challenge allows for both animated and realistic style figures – join in the fun and show off your skills (or lack thereof) after the jump!

Customizer Spotlight: OGTrilogy
Ah, one of the best part of the hobby for me… drooling over the work of amazing customizers and praying that a company like Sideshow takes notice and dives into 3.75″ scale environments like this one by forum member OGTrilogy!
Check out a ton of pics of this masterpiece after the jump!

Older TVC Continues to Ship to TRU
Last year’s third wave of TVC is continuing to show up in greater numbers now (about a year late!), which is good in a sense, but also one has to wonder if things would be better if this wave just showed up at discounters instead; considering this wave (like Wave 2) is smothered in seven more TPM carry forwards.
On any note, Toys”R”us seems to be the best place to have a chance at scoring newer figures lately, but reports are also coming in that Wal-Mart and Target are finally receiving more TVC shipments as well. Good luck, and as always, your experience will vary.
