Yakfinities #83 Heats Up
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!
Yakfinities Continues
Yakfinities #83 continues! Head on over to the forums to check out all of the cool Cantina Denizens submitted so far, and while you’re at it, roll up your sleeves and create a custom of your own!
As a reminder, we will have three random winners that will receive a prize… plus a random special prize winner who will receive a $25 gift certificate to our friends at Outer Rim Traders! Be sure to check them out too for some customizing supplies – they have many items that work out great for the current customizing theme.

SDCC 2023: Hasbro Vintage Collection Cassian Pipeline Reveal
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.
