Personal Note: Hopefully Hasbro gets things back on track with the Episode VII launch!
I’ve felt for a while that the Black Series Ree Yees has been sporting a head a tad too small, so I dusted off my dremel so I could see what the POTF2 version’s head looked like on there.
Does it look better? Or worse? Does it really matter? I dunno – but I think I prefer the larger head. If you’ve considered making this alteration, head to the forums for a closer look.
Another Yakfinities Customizing Challenge has just wrapped up, and we’ve got some cool Hasbro prizes to announce alongside the customizing Roundup Report. Head to the forums and check it out!
This weekend we highlight the customizing work of one of the most creative members of our forums – mousedroidhoojib. Diving into various EU sources and official film characters, you never know what project mousedroidhoojib is going to show off next. Check out the latest updates after the jump!
We’ve seen the official trailer countless times, some great concept art, and even some apparent 6″ scale figure prototypes, but there are so many questions on what direction Hasbro is going to be taking with the toy line for The Force Awakens.
Another cool art image was recently revealed by Indie Revolver, which appears to show a very cool new ship design for the next film. How would this translate into a toy? Pretty awesome, one would think, if Hasbro chooses to make it. Hopefully we’ll get a taste of what’s coming in February during Toy Fair. Until then, head on over to the forums to join in the EP7 toy discussions, and remember, spoilers apply.
Following the most recent chapter in The Enloe Trials photonovel series, work continues as numerous customs and diorama pieces are being constructed for future chapters.
Check out some new custom parts lists and recipes for several figures that have shown up in recent adventures, and some other characters that will appear in future installments after the jump!
The ToyMan Collector Show returns to St. Louis on Sunday, January 11
With over 180 dealer tables, you never know what vintage or new Star Wars, GI Joe, Transformers or He-Man items you might find, and often at great prices! Heck, you may even run into yours truly! For more details, click on the image above and for some pics of items for sale at recent shows, click here.
The pickings at most retail stores may be slim right now, but it seems Walgreens continues to receive a steady stock of new 6″ scale Black Series figures. If you’re in an area with a lot of these stores, chances are a bit of persistence will pay off if you are looking to score Hasbro’s latest wave.
Not having such luck? Or are things going better than expected? Share your finds (or lack thereof) in the forums!
