The current Yakfinities Customizing Challenge is well underway, and the theme is Takodana Denizens… or you may better know them as bizarre creatures and droids from Maz Kanata’s castle.
Check out the latest custom entries by clicking here… but… as always, we’ll have some random prizes to hand out – so, why not roll up your sleeves and show off your customizing skills or lack thereof? The deadline for entries is March 31.
If you’re anywhere near the St. Louis area, I have to recommend you check out SAGA TOYS.
I’ve personally already picked up many items from this collector (and kid!) friendly store and will continue to make them one of my weekly stops.
This place has a fantastic variety of loose and carded toys across a variety of brands such as Star Wars, GI JOE, Transformers, LEGO and more. The prices are very fair too.
Be sure to check them out if you’re in the area, and “like” their Facebook Page!
An all new story in the adventures of fan-fiction character Rykrof Enloe will soon be posted in the Yakface forums. Catch up on the most recent chapter before this one kicks off by clicking here!
Another chapter in The Enloe Trials Photonovel Series is nearing completion and will soon be posted in the Yakface Forums. Until then, full size previews are available after the jump!
We’ve just wrapped up another great Yakfinities Customizing Challenge – and with over 40 custom entries, there’s a lot of cool stuff to check out (including which forum members won some prizes) in the Roundup Report!
All the attention is around The Force Awakens, but we’d be remiss to not mention that there have been some great new fan-fiction stories being shared in the photonovel section of our forums recently .
Forum member CloneCrazy has recently shared the latest installment in his Will Of The Force series, and Jodo has also posted a new chapter in his Era of Darkness saga.
With great special effects, custom figures, dioramas and creative storytelling, both of these artists continue to up their game – check out their latest efforts and other fan stories in the Yakface Forums after the jump!
After an extended drought, some St. Louis are Wal-Mart stores have started receiving new TBS 3.75″ figures. Good luck on those toy runs and be sure to keep us posted on your finds.
While it was a nice surprise finding Wal-Marts latest wave of 3.75″ Black Series today, the excitement quickly turned to aggravation once opening Finn… I picked up two of this figure, and both had fused right elbow joints.
The first one snapped immediately – the second one I was able to save only through my experience with customizing. Hopefully this doesn’t turn out to be a widespread issue… but please share your experiences after the jump!
It appears that with the new year, Wal-Mart has increased the price of basic TFA figures by about a dollar each. This puts them closer in line with the likes of competing retailers; and after having a hard time keeping Star Wars figures in stock around the holidays, this price hike comes as little surprise. So be prepared to pay a little more for the “budget line” moving forward.
