Collider has alerted us to an exclusive Villain Noir “Bounty Hunter” giclee by Marko Manev that will be available this weekend at NYCC (Bottleneck Gallery booth #2167). It is limited to just 125 pieces but if you can’t attend, there will be some made available on the Bottleneck Gallery website on Saturday at 1pm ET.
This weekend we spotlight more of the great customizing work being done by Star Wars fans in our forum community.
Leading this off, we have Stocos28, who shines as always with a Twi’lek Jedi, and more which can be seen here.
Next up, we have a great tribute to the vintage bootleg Uzay Headman and several other customs, courtesy of Tonphanan.
After that, try to keep your socks on when you see the Pong Krell custom by Darth Daddy (we are all still wondering why Hasbro hasn’t made this guy yet).
Last by not least, darth naes shows off a killer battle damaged Darth Vader custom from the Dark Horse comics series in his customizing thread.
The latest Yakfinities Customizing Challenge has just concluded, and we’ve got over 40 great entries in the roundup report for your viewing pleasure! Head on over to the forums to check out all the entries, and see who is walking away with some free Star Wars figures as prizes.
For those that helped with the Galactic Merchants kickstarter campaign, we think you will find their latest previews most impressive… check them out in the forums and on their Facebook page!
The current Yakfinities Customizing Challenge has seen some great entries over the past week – and there’s still some time left to get a custom entry submitted before the deadline on Sunday, September 30th.
This one’s easy too – just make and submit a custom of something that appeared in ANY Star Wars Dark Horse comic, and your submission has been entered! Or, if you’d rather just kick back and check out the latest entries, just hop on over to the forums!
The latest installment in The Enloe Trials Photonovel Series is here… in this new adventure, Rykrof Enloe and his comrades face death at every turn as they seek an ancient Sith artifact on Dathomir.
It’s a race against time and countless dangers in Chapter IV – Shadow of Death – check it out after the jump!
We are way overdue for another spotlight showing off the fantastic customizing skills of our forum members, so let’s get to it!
First up, Mousedroid-Hoojib continues to show the capabilities of soft goods customizing with a new version of Padme, which can be seen here.
Forum member wraith_nineyak also joins in the mix, with a new animated custom of Sergeant Krayt from the Clone Wars.
Peakob1 also creates a new Clone Wars custom – but one with a twist by making a realistic custom figure of Rush Clovis.
Last but not least, you have to check out Evilivo’s custom pre-cyborg General Grievous, which is a huge improvement over the Hasbro version… it even has real hair!
Star Wars Celebration VII will be in Anaheim in 2015, and some of our forum customizers have their eyes set on displaying a massive diorama there for all to see. We worked to do this before in 2007 for Celebration IV so there is precedent, but these projects take a lot of coordination and effort. The payoff is great though to see it all come together.
Do you have what it takes to join in? We’re still in the very early stages of this project, and encourage all customizers to check it out and see if you’d like to take part in this after the jump! We also encourage for all diorama builders out there to offer their suggestions to help make this project a success.
The next installment in The Enloe Trials photonovel series is almost here, and we’ve got some brand new previews to share!
Head on over to the forums for a closer look, and to share your thoughts!
Forum member and diorama master Empire has done it again, creating some fantastic multi-purpose playset dioramas – check these outstanding custom playsets after the jump!
Note to Hasbro: Who says kids don’t like playsets? My 6-year old son saw this tonight and won’t quit pestering me about it!
