One of the most anticipated figures of the year is now available loose via overseas eBay seller tunghori. These probably won’t last long, and with distribution problems continuing to affect the TVC line (combined with this figure being slated at just one figure per case), why not click on the image above and order one? Or is it worth holding out in hopes that Hasbro will come through and this figure won’t be so difficult to track down in stores? Share your thoughts in the forums!
It’s that time again… category voting has begun for the next Yakfinities Customizing Challenge!

Forum member combatJedi reports finding the new exclusive Droid Attack on the Coronet Battle Pack at a Toys”R”Us just yesterday – so might be a good idea to swing on by your local store to see if they have this in stock yet ($24.99). Hopefully this set goes over well and gets Hasbro to make a new OT Probe Droid set as well (who doesn’t want that anyway?)!
Note – some of the latest Clone Wars figures have been sighted at Toys”R”Us this week as well via pallet displays in front of the Star Wars promo sections at the front of the store (Savage Opress, Seripas, Saesee Tiin)… as always, your mileage may vary.
Good luck!

As much as we love Hasbro’s sculpts, there are times when a talented customizer comes along and creates a mold that blows us away… fans will recall that back in February, we spotlighted some amazing custom head sculpts by customizer Evergray.
Now, he’s done it once again with some more amazing sculpts that we only wish we could get our hands on! See the Stormtrooper comparison above – how cool would it be nice for them to adopt something more like the above helmet on the right as a standard moving forward?
Check out more of Evergray’s work, and share your thoughts after the jump!
