Yak’s Top Ten: Expanded Universe

The content here consists of books, comics, games… anything that doesn’t appear in the films / live action sources… and things that aren’t considered “canon” anymore.

Yak’s Top Ten is back, with the focus taking us to the Expanded Universe! This is a pretty broad category, as noted in the caption above.

What are the top ten figures that you most desperately want to see made in The Vintage Collection from this theme? Post your TVC wish list HERE.

You can also do the same thing for the 6″ scale line in The Black Series. Post your 6″ TBS wish list right HERE.

Note: Wish lists may also be posted in the comments section of this article. You may post both a TVC and TBS list, but please do not post your wish lists in this comments section AND in the forums. And please remember to indicate if you’re referring to TVC or TBS with each list.

YAK’S TOP TEN – ANIMATION

There seem to be endless characters from animated sources that would make fine action figures… which ones do you want to see? It doesn’t mean that their figure would have to be in an animated style per se.

Yak’s Top Ten is back, with the focus shifting to characters that have appeared in Star Wars animation.

Yakfinities #83 Heats Up

The above Damano Deomaley custom figure by forum member Darth Daddy (aka Customs for the Kid) may never be made by Hasbro.

In anticipation of the Haslab Cantina, Yakface Forum members have been creating some amazing custom figures in our current Customizing Challenge with over 50 submissions thus far. Check out the latest entries and submit your own by clicking here.

As always, fan fiction entries are encouraged… your creation does not have to be of a character that was shown on screen. Custom entries may be submitted through July 31, but remember they need to be of a new custom you made… and if you are in need of some parts for your entry, head on over to this Yakfinities sponsor, Outer Rim Traders and check out their offerings. They have some great stuff at very reasonable prices… below are just a few examples!

Haslab Cantina: A Closer Look

The Hasbro team has shared a new video showing off the display versatility of the latest Haslab project.

If you were on the fence due trying to figure out if you have room for this in your collection setup, check out the video to get a better idea on your display options.

Remember, they will stop taking backers at 11:59PM EDT on July 8th. You can back the project and reserve your cantina and pack-in figures by clicking here.

Yakfinities Continues

Yakfinities #83 runs through July 31.

Yakfinities #83 continues! Head on over to the forums to check out all of the cool Cantina Denizens submitted so far, and while you’re at it, roll up your sleeves and create a custom of your own!

As a reminder, we will have three random winners that will receive a prize… plus a random special prize winner who will receive a $25 gift certificate to our friends at Outer Rim Traders! Be sure to check them out too for some customizing supplies – they have many items that work out great for the current customizing theme.
