It may seem like there’s fewer items worth buying in the 3.75″ market these days – and if you feel this way, head on over to Holeinthegroundpro.com for a refreshing focus on items in this scale for scene and diorama building (collector language for playsets).

All kinds of fantastic items are available… the prices are fair, the quality is the best I’ve seen, and orders are received in a timely fashion.  For more details, check them out here and share your thoughts in our forums.

Spotlight Review: darthcrassus

Yakface Forum member darthcrassus has shared a great review of a couple of The Force Awakens vehicle models by Revell.  Check them out by clicking here!

Got some Star Wars items you’ve reviewed and want to share?  Do so in our forums, and you might see it show up on our front page!

Personal Note:  These Revell items look a lot better than I had expected, and it appears that a lot more attention to detail went into these than what we’ve been seeing from Hasbro in quite some time, sadly.

Toy-Gear! Action Figure Trays

6 Comments

foamtrays

Toy-Gear is proud to introduce Action Figure Archival Trays as the perfect compliment for quality loose figure collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe, Indiana Jones, Marvel and more.  

Their 4-inch figure sized trays have been specifically designed to fit most modern and vintage action figures and provide a neutral, padded, organized long term storage solution. They also make for a great way to display your figures with an acrylic stand or mounted directly to a wall.  They even have trays coming for larger sized action figures.

They are doing a Kickstarter to help get the word out about their product, and also to build up a large enough initial inventory of trays for local toy shows and online reviewers.  As an incentive for this Kickstarter, they are offering their trays at a special lower price than we will be at retail.

For all the details, click here or join discussion in our forums.

Can the 3.75″ SA line sustain itself?

45 Comments

pricewars

Most of us want to see the 3.75″ SA figure line continue, right?  But does it really have to cost this much?  Especially when nearly everything else of comparable size/articulation costs consumers way less?

Is this really Hasbro’s only option to keep a decent articulated line going?  Or instead of full SA figures, why can’t they have the baseline articulation be around 10 points, and have a unified line with a MSRP around $8.99 (such as similar quality to THIS)?

Is a beyond 5POA line that’s more affordable too much to ask for?  Share your thoughts in the forums.

new beginnings

Yakface Forum member CloneCrazy has posted a new chapter in his “Will Of The Force” series.  Head on over to the forums and take in this very well made addition to his series, and leave him a bit of feedback for this awesome piece of work (unless you’ve gone through the effort of making a photonovel, it’s hard to appreciate just how much time/effort goes into these).
