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!

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!
