Yakfinities # 44 Continues

The latest Yakfinities Customizing Challenge continues, and with a theme that we haven’t tackled before, there’s some very interesting concepts being shown off in the forums. 

And with the lull in new product these days, there’s never been a better time to roll up your sleeves and add some new figures to your collection in a different way – by creating your own figures!  So check out some really cool customs or submit your own after the jump!

Customizer Mega Spotlight

We continue to have fantastic custom work shown off in our forums, and it’s only right to highlight more of the hard efforts of our resident customizers!

First off, Darth Daddy has created an awesome custom of Numa from the Clone Wars… take note Hasbro! This adorable little Twi’lek should have been made by now!

Next up, forumite super360 shares a very cool clone sergeant he’s working on – check it out here!

Fans of KOTOR will instantly recognize Bao-Dur from forum member stocos28Click here for more pics of this fantastic custom that  Hasbro has chosen to ignore.

Last but not least, forum member WookieeBalls shares his entries that he made for the recent tribute to MercuryArtStudios – check out his amazing customs here!

The 10th Anniversary of SAGA

It’s hard to believe it, but a decade has passed since the AOTC line officially launched at retail.

Personally, I can recall a night of hitting every Wal-Mart in my area looking for that dang Royal Guard, and hearing some guy bragging about how he found two of them at a different Wal-Mart… only the next morning, to find that Toy”R”us had gotten in dozens of that assortment, and feeling relieved, but broke!

Feel free to relive the excitement of that launch in our forums or at the message board at Jeditemplearchives, and special thanks to forum member Darth Eddie for the reminder!

Suggestions for Hasbro!

Remember when the Legends lines were fun and Hasbro found a way to appeal to both collectors and kids?  When we actually looked forward to walking into the toy aisle?

Collector frustration continues to rise, so we’re going to start throwing some new ideas toward Hasbro in the forums, and we’re starting things off with a bit of a rant with how they’ve handled Movie Heroes so far this year and how it could have been handled better.

Sound off in the forums with your thoughts, and even your own ideas after the jump!
