A new Yakfinities Customizing Challenge has just kicked off, and the theme is Order 66 Survivors. So get those creative juices flowing for what is sure to be another fun customizing event in our forums. Several entries have already been submitted too, which can be seen here.
The photonovel adventures of Rykrof Enloe are set to continue in the near future – but a big part of the process before any story can begin is creating new environments for he and his plastic friends to explore. Head on over to the forums for a closer look at the latest diorama that is being constructed after the jump!
Diorama construction and new figure customizations are well underway for the next installment in The Enloe Trials Photonovel Series. For a closer look head on over to the forums.
It’s been a while since the last chapter was released in The Enloe Trials photonovel series, but that’s the way it goes when trying to make new customs and dioramas for each chapter (and trying to shuffle priorities of work and being a parent). So what’s a guy to do when he doesn’t have time to make all the sets on his own? Create a few concepts, and find someone who is able to build some of the sets for you!
So, thanks to the efforts of Yakface forum member EMPIRE, another installment in the series will be happening faster than I anticipated. You’ve probably by now seen some of his amazing work here in our forums. I’m sure he’ll be posting more updates of his fantastic custom playsets before too long, but for the time being head on over and take a quick look at what he’s working on for me behind the scenes by clicking here.
For all you diorama fans, forum member Raylen has just revealed a special sneak peek at a new 3.75″ scale item I am guessing many of you are going to want to add to your collections. Soon, he will have them available for order at his site.
For now, head on over the forums and for a glimpse at what’s to come…
Personal Note: Shut up and take my money!

One of my local collector friends from JediDefender ran into this Star Wars themed beer last night at a local liquor store: Dark Fatha American Emperial Stout from Bent Brewstillery from right here in Minnesota. I guess I know where I’m going tonight.
Collider has posted an exclusive that Bottleneck Gallery will be having a timed release sale of Marko Manev’s Star Wars Triptych prints this Friday (Jan 17) through Sunday (Jan 19). Prints can be purchased individually or as a matching numbered set. Head on over to Collider.com for details and a closer look at the art.
Check out these awesome custom 6″ Aurra Sing photos sent to us by Yakreader Kevin W. Click on through to read on how he built it and some cool WIP images as well.
Funko has also announced a new Star Wars BOXOS papercraft two-sided display featuring the Bespin Carbon Freezing Chamber and Gantry. Now before you dismiss this out of hand, the figures included with the display are about 4″ tall each, so you may be able to use it as an action figure display for Hasbro, LEGO or Kubrick figures (the last two being more appropriate stylistically). I plan on picking up a set when they are available to test out.
