More Halloween Customs!
Our very own DanOfTheDead has just shared some more zombie goodies that fit in nicely with Halloween – if you’re a fan of GI JOE, Left 4 Dead, or just cool customs – you gotta check these out!
Happy Halloween!
We hope all our readers who dress up and hit the streets for candy this evening have fun, but be safe! And for those in the mood for a batch of undead Star Wars customs finished up just in time for Halloween, click on the above image!
Customizer Mega Spotlight
When the going gets tough for finding new product at retail, customizing can be a great way to add “new” figures to your collection! Check out the latest custom figures from several great customizers in the Yakface forums – if these were basic figures at retail, they would be hard to pass up!
First off, Incom shows off an amazing custom of Mandalorian Novoc Vevut – check it out here!
Next up, if you think Hasbro should give us a new Airborne Trooper, you’ll certainly like this one from forumite PackRatStudios!
Marcus Starkiller also joins in the fun with a cool Special Forces Rebel Sniper!
Last but not least, Fritzkrieg comes back to the Star Wars front with a very nice rendition of a Republic Commando!
Tauntaun Detective Work
Yakface forum member acklayhunter has shared a close up image of the new Tauntaun mold courtesy of Banthaskull.com – look closely by clicking on the image above… you’ll see there is a clear line there that Hasbro has apparently made as a “place holder” for what could be an eventual re-release with a split belly so you can keep your Hoth Luke figures nice and warm in native Hoth intestines!
Think this is coming later on down the line? Share your thoughts in the Yakface forums!
2012 Naboo Pilot & Ric Olie Review
Our friends at Jedidefender.com have got an early review of two great looking 2012 figures from The Phantom Menace. Head on over and check it out by clicking on the above image!
Customizer Spotlight – Peakob1
Yakface forum member Peakob1 has added several more creations recently to his customizing thread, including an amazing alternate paint scheme on the Clone Wars Y-Wing Bomber.
Be sure to check this out, and keep your fingers crossed that someday Hasbro puts this kind of weathering onto their animated vehicle offerings, because this is awesome!
Landspeeder Comparison

Tauntaun Comparison

Yakfinities #42 Has Begun
A brand new customizing challenge has launched in the Yakface forums – Mirrored Reflections!
With this new Yakfinities, customizers are open to pretty much any alternative take on an existing Star Wars figure… if you’ve never customized a figure before, or are a crafty veteran, join in and show off your creative skills after the jump!
And as always, three random winners will be selected from the entry list and will each receive two Hasbro action figures.
