The Enloe Trials: New Previews
The next installment in The Enloe Trials photonovel series is inching closer – for full size previews, head on over to the forums!
The Photonovel Alliance Updates
When toy runs are as dismal as they are lately, a lot of us naturally turn to customizing – and some even go the extra mile and create our own fan-fiction Star Wars photonovels – most of which can be read and commented by readers like you in our forums.
But sometimes there’s an older photonovel that appears to have been lost in cyberspace – for those of you who have been around for years in this hobby, remember the old stories by photonovel legends Dan Curto and Scott Corrales? Or the amazing Clone Wars storyline by SA Longhorn?
Those stories, and even the latest ones by various customizers can all be found on the greatest photonovel library of them all: The Photonovel Alliance.
Compendium Poster Giveaway

Star Wars Action Figure Compendium Poster Update
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.
Awesome Illustrated Vintage Card Back Poster
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.
