If you’ve been lucky enough to get your hands on Hasbro’s new Merumeru figure, you may not be too happy about the sculpted armor on his right forearm.
But if you’re willing to shell out for a second copy of this figure, you can make a pretty simple modification to give him a more natural look, which essentially gives you a generic Wookiee. Check out this simple process after the jump!
If you were on the fence with the MTT, I’m not sure you could ask for a better deal than what Yakface reader Daniel C. is reporting finding at his local Marc’s store. A stunning price of $39.99 each for this behemoth droid transport.
Personal Note: I love this vehicle. I realize it’s not for everyone, but I felt it was worth the full retail price and think it’s a shame to see what I consider to be Hasbro’s greatest item of 2012 be ignored by a lot of the community. Sure, it’s from the worst Star Wars movie, but it’s still a killer toy and is the only Separatist related item that stacks up size-wise against all the clone trooper related vehicles Hasbro has produced.
It’s a new week – and that means it’s time for a new Concept Series reveal by localgotal!
The latest concept is an update on a character that Hasbro first released back in the POTJ line.. I’d buy this figure… would you? Decide for yourself after the jump!
Yakface forum members continue to raise the bar with their customs figures, which means another spotlight of their amazing work is overdue!
First up, Evilivo shares his take on a Wookiee Chieftan, which gives Hasbro a run for its money with their new figure of Merumeru.
DarthVirunga returns with a huge update, including the Sith Lord, Darth Ruin. Check it all out here.
Next up, customizing legend Glassman has begun customizing Hasbro’s new 6″ scale line, and shares a Stormtrooper Han Solo and other 6″ updates too!
Last but not least, forum member DeltaSev shares a group of his latest customs, including Mira from KOTORII.
If you have a Toys”R”us Express store in your local mall (these open up in some areas for the holiday season), if may be worth your while to swing by and see if you can score any of last year’s harder to find vehicle assortment, which consists of the new sculpt of the Naboo Starfighter and the Kashyyyk Fighter Tank. The price is right too, as each will only set you back about twenty bucks. Good luck and happy hunting!
As of posting this update, both Merumeru and Commander Neyo (and some other various new Black Series figures) are listed as “in-stock” at Hasbrotoyshop – head on over there and place your order if you don’t want to have to make numerous dry toy runs this winter searching for them!
Thanks to localgotal for the heads up!
The second figure in localgotal’s Concept Series lineup has been revealed – the skiff pilot known as Vedain, who became a tasty meal for the almighty Sarlacc.
Check out his concept on how Hasbro could easily make this figure look after the jump!
While most of the market appears to be passing on Hasbro’s reduced scale rehash line of Star Wars vehicles, it is worth noting that the lateast assortment is now starting to show up at retail, which includes Obi Wan Kenobi’s blue starfighter from ROTS. Head on over to the forums for more details.
Reports are sporadic at this point, but some collectors are finding the second series of Hasbro’s 6″ Black Series figures at Target stores.
Be on the lookout for these, as at the store I saw these, they were stacked behind a stack of Wave One Darth Maul and Luke figures… I almost didn’t realize they were there!
