This weekend we highlight the jaw dropping custom playset work by forum member jrnyfan. He has made numerous custom playsets and shows a teaser of his work in his customizing thread where you can leave him your feedback here.
He’s also got a lot more to show at his site, plasticplaysets.com – and the best thing is, you can even order some diorama pieces for your own collections too, by clicking here.
Personal Note: Get it together, Hasbro. You’ve had this license forever and have totally missed the boat with dioramas and playsets and focused on doomed gimmicks instead. Innovative collectors from all over the world are finding ways to make their collections feel more complete, and are willing to spend good money for nice sets to display their figures in…
On November 2/3, Rhode Island Comic Con will be held, and in attendance for the first time as a vendor will be Hole in the Ground Productions. If you’re in that area and make the show, be sure to swing by their booth as they will have a full stock of their custom movie props and custom diorama items available.
This weekend we run a well overdue Customizer Spotlight on the amazing work of forum member Peakob1. Just imagine how much more exciting the Clone Wars line would have been in 2012 with attention to detail (and variety of characters) like this!
