Customizer Spotlight: XTS Operative
Massive dioramas are always a treat, especially when someone goes to such great lengths to create such an extensive environment like forum member XTSOperative has with his Red Hand battle diorama. Check out all the pics of this great setup after the jump!
Another Galactic Merchants Preview
While collectors are anxiously awaiting to receive their pre-ordered playset walls in the coming weeks, Galactic Merchants teases us with their first 3.75″ scale figure. Check out a full sized pic of this latest masterpiece in the forums, and be sure to follow their Facebook page here!
Customizer Mega Spotlight
After a crazy week at work, it’s nice to kick back and enjoy some of the great customs by our forum members.
Leading things off, darthcrassus shows off his custom of Nomi Sunrider; you can see this and many more of his customs here.
If you’re a fan of furballs, then check out some cool new Ewok customs by forum member darthapathy too.
We’ve also got a huge update from forum newcomer nighthawk, who reminds us just how much fun clone customs can still be.
Last but not least, wraithnine shows off his latest astromech customs as well!
Droid Factory Sets Update
If you pre-ordered the Amazon exclusive Droid Factory wave, you may want to check your order status. Forum member JawaKing‘s order now shows as shipped, with an estimated arrival date of October 31.
Customizers participating in Yakfinities #50 also have a shot at winning these figures too (hint, hint)!
The ISY Custom Zombie Exclusive!
Our good friends at Imperialshipyards are offering up some zombie themed head sculpts for all you customizers out there. With Halloween right around the corner, now is the perfect time to place an order!
Personal Note: Why hasn’t Hasbro made a Death Trooper? Are they unaware that zombies are all the rage right now? And don’t they realize how popular the GI Joe line’s Zombie Viper was (and still is)?
Kmart Exclusive Vintage Sets
Reports are coming in from collectors finding Kmart’s outstanding exclusive sets across the country, and reports of those who ordered online receiving their orders as well (though some have received mixed orders).
Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives are also reporting these sets are showing up in good numbers.
For reference, the Ewok set’s UPC is 653569875550 and the Scanning Crew set’s UPCs are 653569890539 / 653569890485.
Hasbro 3rd Quarter Earnings Rise
Hasbro is reporting slightly improved third-quarter financials, which exceeded Wall Street expectations. Hasbro is crediting much of this to stronger sales of Star Wars and Transformers toys. Check out more details after the jump!
Yakfinities #50 Continues
Our 50th Yakfinities Customizing Challenge continues as several customizers have already contributed to the latest theme, The Original Trilogy!
The entries thus far have been outstanding, and in addition to our standard random winners, someone will win the Amazon exclusive Droid Factory wave for the grand prize!
Whether you’ve never customized before or are a crafty veteran, head on over to the forums and and show off your skills!
