Christopher Lee, the artist for the glorious illustrated action figure compendium poster we reported a few day ago, has provided us a link that you can bookmark for tomorrow’s May the 4th sale. Be sure to get those orders in and support this one-of-a-kind piece.
Also, he’s provided us a link to a desktop wallpaper (of various sizes) featuring this poster with some great toys added to the composition. You can download it here.
Vintage fans take note. On May the 4th this fantastic vintage card back poster will be available for purchase from talented illustrator, Christopher Lee via dribbble. Here are some details on the piece:
My newest (and probably last) compendium poster pays tribute Star Wars and the iconic Kenner card back from the 80’s. This one in particular is the 92 card back which covered the entire basic figure assortment.
All of the characters were designed with the toys as reference. I took a few liberties, but the details are limited to what was provided by the figures alone.
The print will be in my shop by May the 4th (appropriately) 🙂
I’ll post a store link when I have it up.
Various time-lapse process videos can be found here:

Be sure to bookmark the page or watch for an announcement here on Yakface.com when the print becomes available.
Today we highlight the work of some more great customizers in our forum!
First up, we have Darthstreams, who has shared a ton of pics of his customs, including a Zayne Carrick that really caught my eye.
Next, PackRatStudios reveals what he’s been working on, including a very cool rendition of a Stormtrooper unit from Vader’s Fist.
Wraith_nine also joins in the fun, showing off a great gallery of Clone Wars customs, including some killer astromechs.
Last but not least, I-am-Boba-Fett has unleashed a ton of new customs into the forums, including an amazing rendition of a very obscure character from A New Hope, called Braconnor Bakiska.
The Original Trilogy CUSTOM Collection on CANVAS – black wooden frame
Each canvas measures 24″ x36.” These canvases are stretched and mounted on a black wooden frame. Frame measures 1 1/16″ deep x 1″ thick. Each canvas is coated with a professional polymer to protect against UV rays, dust particles, and other environmental elements.
Each canvas set is limited to only 300 pieces and will NEVER be printed again. Each canvas is signed and numbered on the back of the artwork.
*Original artwork by Drew Roberts. Licensed and owned by Lynx Collection, a division of Sabre Products.

Hasbro may have given the Clone Wars line the cold shoulder, but Yakface forum members have expressed a different sentiment altogether. This new customizing challenge allows for both animated and realistic style figures – join in the fun and show off your skills (or lack thereof) after the jump!
The Star Wars: Episode VII Customizing Contest that we’ve been hosting with our friends at Imperialshipyards has wrapped up, and we have grand prize winner! Head on over to the forums for the full Roundup Report, and stay tuned as we will be announcing two random prize winners in the coming days!
Forum member Kodiak3d comes through again to help fill yet another void that Hasbro has left the collecting community – Cantina Chairs and Yavin Hangar Lights! Head on over to his store and stock up, because we all know that we won’t be seeing stuff like this anytime soon from the folks at Hasbro.
Ah, one of the best part of the hobby for me… drooling over the work of amazing customizers and praying that a company like Sideshow takes notice and dives into 3.75″ scale environments like this one by forum member OGTrilogy!
Check out a ton of pics of this masterpiece after the jump!
