Yakface forum staffer localgotal is back again with yet another round of Concept Series figures he’s created. This latest update continues his recent theme of great figures that Hasbro should make or release again in honor of what we hope is a successful Sail Barge campaign!
If you are in Europe, you now have a chance to get your hands on a Sail Barge thanks to some hard work by Dark Side Toys. Details can be found here, but the image above will direct you right to the link the order page.
Let’s hope this helps move the needle some more in the right direction!
I finally got around to snapping some new pics of my collection over the weekend. How does your setup look these days? We’d love to see pics of your displays – show off what you’ve got in our Collection Gallery!
If you’re ever in the St. Louis area, I highly encourage you to take some time to check out SAGA Toys. I went by there again today and was in amazement of all the outstanding items available, and at some of the best prices I’ve seen.
They are located at: 7575 S Lindbergh Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63125 and they are open daily 9am-9pm. Be sure to tell them the crew at Yakface sent ya!
Custom playset master EMPIRE has posted some awesome new 3.75″ custom playsets that can be purchased by clicking here.
Personal Note: I’ve purchased a number of items from him over the past few years and have always been amazed by the quality and durability. If you have been on the fence about these, I am confident that you won’t be disappointed if you add some of these items to your collection!
Hasbro’s Sail Barge Crowd Funding project has just hit the 500 backer milestone. Keep checking for progress and to find out all the details about this amazing project (or better yet, to back this project yourself!) by CLICKING HERE.
Update: we’ve added a direct link in the right column of the page to keep this campaign visible on the front page and press images after the break.
Over the weekend, I stopped by a St. Louis based collector shop known as SAGA TOYS (great place, I highly recommend it), and was reminded of just how terrible the state of collecting Hasbro products has generally fallen over the past several years thanks to the awesome display of older TVC figures that SAGA TOYS has on their pegs.
Times are hard for collectors, and also for the retailers due to so many sublines of inferior product these days that appeal to fewer and fewer customers. We are truly hoping that Hasbro rights the ship with a great TVC line that goes on for years, brings back the glory of background aliens and droids, has a nice variety of army builders (with alternate heads), throws in a healthy splash of OT goodness, brings back good case assortments with nice distribution, makes smart use of articulation without over-engineering the figures, and puts an MSRP on the line that doesn’t doom it out of the gate.
But is that really going to happen with Hasbro’s next dive into TVC? Do you all have that much faith in Hasbro to get things back on track? Do they even know how to manage the 3.75″ line anymore with the Disney media barrage? Share your thoughts after the jump!
Yakface forum member mousedroidhoojib has recently udpdated with several new customs from The Last Jedi… there’s some really cool and creative work here (and figures that today’s Hasbro may never get around to making) – check these out after the jump!
The Enloe Trials fan-fic series is back with an all-new chapter in the Yakface Forums!
