Where are you going this afternoon? We think we’ll take off for a little bit. You know, some place warm. Some place where the beer flows like wine and the beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano….
I’m talking about the latest Yakfinities Roundup Report – Cantina Denizens. Check it out by clicking here!
Forum member Darth Eddie was able to score the TVC Darth Malgus wave a little earlier than most of us – check out his haul after the jump!
Tonight we highlight more of the outstanding customizing work being shown off by Yakface forum members. So kick back, and enjoy!
First off, customizing legend jedistyle leads things off with a fantastic rendition of a Duros Jedi – check it out here.

The interesting female custom shown above is courtesy of Knighthawk – you can see several more pics of this custom and others he’s made in his customizing thread.
Last but not least, forum member stormforce customs shows off his sculpting skills with a rendition of really cool Jedi Master!
Yakfinities #43– Cantina Denizens is winding down, but there’s still a few days left to create a custom before time runs out.
Avoid disappointment and future regret by creating your own custom figure! And as always, regardless of talent level, we’ll be giving away some more figures to three random winners!
Yakface forum members cast their votes earlier this month, and ended up with a tie between two category themes. As a result, voting is back again, between the top two categories only.
We’ll keep this open through Friday, so if you’d like your voice heard, click here to cast your vote for what customizing theme you’d like to see us tackle next!
Voting has just begun for an all new Yakfinities Customizing Challenge, and there’s a great variety of themes to choose from.

The latest Yakfinities Customizing Challenge continues – Cantina Denizens!
Entries have been piling in, but there’s still plenty of time to submit a custom of your own Cantina character (fan fiction or canon) – just make sure to get those entries in by the March 31 deadline!
We kick this Monday off on a bit of a positive note – some more creative energy from our forum members through some fan-fiction photonovels!
First off, hangarbay has released another chapter in his ongoing X-Wing Alliance series, which includes a tense battle with Imperial Stormtroopers aboard a Star Destroyer – check it out here.
Need some more OT goodness? Form member jlw515 has also posted a new chapter in his Vader’s Quest series, which entails the perspective of the Galactic Civil War from all angles – including hotshot Rebel pilots. Click here for this latest update.
Last but not least, Darth Depressis has wrapped up two more chapters in his post-ROTJ series, where the Clone Emperor is determined to regain control of the galaxy – check out his lastest installments, Defenders of the Dark Empire Part One and Part Two.
Barely a month after new product hit the shelves, some Wal-Marts are already putting some of Hasbro’s new line on clearance. It seems like some retailers are realizing that vastly inferior repacks from a decade ago aren’t in demand; especially at inflated prices – how long before Hasbro realizes this too?
For more details on what was found marked down in the St. Louis area today, click on the image above.
We would like to remind all the customizers out there of a tribute we are running in honor of a good Yakface friend who passed away last summer – a multi-site customizing event that was in the works by a collector know around the forums as MercuryArtStudios. We were shocked and saddened last summer when he tragically lost his life in a car accident.
Mike Martinez left behind a great following in the customizing community and touched a lot of people. In his memory, we wanted to see through an Evolution style themed customizing contest that he had been planning – so we have teamed up with two other sites he was active at to make this happen. We are proud to work with the great folks at Echo Base News and Imperial Shipyards to host this customizing event.
To help encourage participation, we’ve also gathered a great pool of prizes – for more information and rules of entry, click here!
