Seekers of the Dark Relic Photonovel

relicposter2

An all new adventure in The Enloe Trials photonovel series picks back up today, as Rykrof Enloe and his team of Rebels attempt to recover an ancient Sith artifact from a destroyed Imperial research facility on Dathomir.

Rykrof will discover he’s in for much more than he expected as the mission quickly falls apart; as Darth Vader has taken an interest in recovering the relic as he leads his best troops into battle on the planet.

Head on over to the forums for the full adventure after the jump!

REBELS Customizing Challenge Roundup

rebelschallenge00

We recently jointed forces with our good friends at www.imperialshipyards.net through a joint customizing event to create some “REBELS” themed custom figures.  The event has now concluded, and we have a lot of great figures to show in the Roundup Report – and even a Random Prize Winner to announce too – so kick back and check it all out after the jump!

Customizer Mega Spotlight

If you’re active in the Yakface customizing forums, you have more than likely been keeping up on the great work of our forum members – but if not, this post is for you, because it means you’re missing out on some great eye candy!

So without further delay, customizer darthcrassus has been very active with new  updates lately, including a fantastic take on Jariah Syn, which you can take a closer look at here.

Next, wraith_nineyak continues to expand his Clone Wars line of clone troopers… if you’re a fan of the animated styling, you will certainly want to check out his latest updates!

We are also treated to a great Clone Wars take on Chancellor Palpatine, courtesy of Elias – which is even more impressive considering he is only 10 years old (great sign of things to come for many years!).

Finally, we also show a great take on a non-Star Wars custom… it’s a Lord of the Rings Ringwraith in the 3.75″ scale from Evilivo!

Rebels Customs Event Winding Down

rebels2

The fan community was recently exposed to Hasbro’s upcoming Rebels line, which has been met with mixed results as so many of us prefer good articulation and more detailed sculpts with the Star Wars lines rather than what Hasbro revealed.

Soon after, we teamed up with Imperialshipyards.net to host a customizing event where fans can make their own Rebels themed customs and have a chance to win some cool prizes.  While the number of entries has been somewhat modest thus far, the quality has been fantastic.

To check out the latest entries,  click here – and remember, entries will be accepted until the end of April.

Kmart Sale Through 4/19

If you have a Kmart in your area, you may want to head there quick to see if they have any Scanning Crew sets yet – as stores have dropped the price down to $10 per set through 4/19!  Be aware though that it’s unconfirmed if this is a national sale or not.

Of note, their clearance toys are an additional 50% off through 4/19 – there are some great buys to be had, mostly non-Star Wars items; but the 31″ Vader is currently marked down for a very low price too.

Custom Tree Huts Project Update

parsec

The guys at TwelfthParsec have written in to let us know about an update on their campaign to deliver some cool Ewok related items to the market (including playsets).  They have met their fundraising goal, but have been able to extend their campaign a bit longer with some new stretch goals in mind, and for each goal met, contributors will get special perks with additional accessories with their order.

Read all about it here, and their campaign page can be accessed here.   Better act quick if you want to get your hands on one of these sets though, the campaign ends in one week!
