There were a couple of Q&A sessions with Hasbro at SDCC a few weeks ago that revealed some intriguing responses from Hasbro Star Wars Design Director, Steve Evans, in terms of 3.75″ SA figures… and even the topic of playsets.
Check out what Steve Evans had to say via coverage from our friends at Imperialshipyards and Jedidefender.
You can share your thoughts in the Imperialshipyards Forums, Jedidefender Forums, or here with us at Yakface.
After years on end of Star Wars fans being left out in the cold when it comes to dioramas and playsets, it looks like we may be seeing a 3rd party that could really help fill the void… GTP-Toys.
Right now they are offering some fantastic walls that are in line with 6″ scale figures, and have 3.75″ ones on the way (which is what I’ve personally REALLY been waiting for). Demand appears to already be high enough to put the 6″ scale ones (9-pack starter set) on back order. However, they do have a 2-pack starter set available here.
But just imagine – SOMETHING other than a plain shelf or a cardboard backer for people to display their action figures with! Each wall panel is separate, which allows you to create or recreate your favorite scenes… something I still can’t believe has been neglected by the official toy brand for over two decades now.
If the current retail Star Wars offerings have been boring you to death (like they are me!), eBay selling legend tunghori has listed more super articulated army builders at very reasonable prices… and even the amazing TVC Nien Nunb is listed as “in stock” as of this post! If you need him, act fast as quantities appear to be limited.

If you’re feeling like there’s just not a whole lot to get excited about for the 3.75″ market these days, I would suggest checking out the great range of custom diorama products available at Holeinthegroundpro.
There you will find a very nice selection of various items to not only help fill the gaps in your displays, but also help quench the thirst to add some more cool 3.75″ items to your collection. Check out what they have to offer after the jump!

Thanks to Yakface reader Mike F. for the report.
One thing Hasbro has grossly neglected time and time again over the years is playsets/dioramas/environments for their action figure lines.
So in that light, our latest Yakfinities Customizing Challenge theme is custom playsets/dioramas/environments! This Yakfinities runs through the end of September, so there’s plenty of time to create and submit an entry.
