YAK’S TOP TEN – ANIMATION

Leave a comment
There seem to be endless characters from animated sources that would make fine action figures… which ones do you want to see? It doesn’t mean that their figure would have to be in an animated style per se.

Yak’s Top Ten is back, with the focus shifting to characters that have appeared in Star Wars animation.

What are the top ten figures that you most desperately want to see made in The Vintage Collection from animation sources? Post your TVC wish list HERE.

You can also do the same thing for the 6″ scale line in The Black Series. Post your 6″ TBS wish list right HERE.

Note: Wish lists may also be posted in the comments section of this article. You may post both a TVC and TBS list, but please do not post your wish lists in this comments section AND in the forums. And please remember to indicate if you’re referring to TVC or TBS with each list.

Yakfinities #83 Heats Up

Leave a comment
The above Damano Deomaley custom figure by forum member Darth Daddy (aka Customs for the Kid) may never be made by Hasbro.

In anticipation of the Haslab Cantina, Yakface Forum members have been creating some amazing custom figures in our current Customizing Challenge with over 50 submissions thus far. Check out the latest entries and submit your own by clicking here.

As always, fan fiction entries are encouraged… your creation does not have to be of a character that was shown on screen. Custom entries may be submitted through July 31, but remember they need to be of a new custom you made… and if you are in need of some parts for your entry, head on over to this Yakfinities sponsor, Outer Rim Traders and check out their offerings. They have some great stuff at very reasonable prices… below are just a few examples!

SDCC 2023: Hasbro Vintage Collection Cassian Pipeline Reveal

Leave a comment
The VC 262 “Andor” head fits great on VC 130 Cassian (also released in TBS), no customizing necessary.

During the Hasbro Star Wars panel and follow up discussions, it was revealed that Hasbro plans for several “repacks/retools” in TVC, including the TBS/TVC Rogue One Cassian Andor figure again (but with the added touch of photo real deco).

Personal Note: If Hasbro has the need to put this figure out again, it may be better suited for a 3pk, and they can invest in new tooling in the other figures in the set, such as Baze Malbus and Ruescott Melshi. Or, are you happy with just swapping a VC262 Cassian head onto the older figure and would rather Hasbro avoid this figure altogether? What say you?

Next week, a more controversial repack topic… TFA Finn.
