Our latest Yakfinities Customizing Challenge delves into the Pre-Disney Expanded Universe days.
This theme isn’t a slight toward Disney, but a recognition that there are so many character choices that still deserve to be made in 3.75″ form – so if you’ve got the itch to join in the fun, CLICK HERE!
JediNews is reporting that the company responsible for those ultra-high end props from The Force Awakens, PropShop, looks to be out of business. They report that their website is under construction and all of their items they had for sale are now listed as out of stock. Head on over to JediNews for the full details.
Tonight we bring back a much overdue feature – the Customizer Mega Spotlight!
First up, all-star customizer Evilivo shows off some new OT goodness, including a fantastic take on Luke Skywalker in Stormtrooper disguise.
Next, Eyositer gets in on the fun with several great new customs, including an Underworld Gangster.
Customizing legend Fritzkrieg also gets back into the mix with a really cool Mandalorian.
Last but not least, we are treated to a ton of ANH era customs from Stan – check those out here!
Our good friends at Imperialshipyards were able to get some Q&A time with the Hasbro team at New York Comic Con over the weekend.
They are doing the fan community a great service once again as they did their best to get questions that matter to the 3.75″ fans posed to the Hasbro team, with friendly suggestions to make the 3.75″ action figure brand a more appealing product again.
Look what we have here – 3.75″ scale “Space Station” playsets available to order through Twelfthparsec.com!
These cool looking playsets are also modular, so you can start off with just specific rooms rather than the whole set.

A new Yakfinties Customizing Challenge is just around the corner, but before it kicks off, we need to decide on a theme.

After being completely amazed by the quality of their diorama Space Walls, I was fortunate enough to be able to see first hand how great a few of the other diorama pieces are shaping up through GTP Toys.
The boxes and barrel I received are rubber prototypes – the final product will be plastic and in line with the quality of the walls. I snapped a few pics, which can be seen here.
Everyone – I completely am sincere when I say these are some of the coolest things I’ve ever seen in the hobby. I’ve been an avid adult collecting enthusiast for over two decades now, and have always felt there was a gaping hole in my collection – environments to display my figures. Having these items in person, and setting them up is on par with the excitement of putting together the stellar BMF (Falcon) from several years ago because the quality is just that great. This is professional quality – not 3D printed with print lines. It’s top line product for an affordable price.
The only way the guys at GTP Toys are going to be able to continue to make products like this (including 3.75″ scale) is from support from the collecting community. So if you’re looking for a better way to display your collectibles, check them out!
Something wonderful has happened – after years on end, high quality modular diorama walls are now available for purchase from 3rd party seller, Galactic Trading Post.
I placed my first order last week, and already received them today. And I have to say, these might be the most exciting thing to happen to the hobby for me… since… heck, I don’t even know that I have EVER seen something this fantastic for displaying a collection.
My son (age 9) and his friend (age 8) went bonkers as well wanting to set them up. Pretty damn cool… hopefully we see a lot more out of these guys as for many of us, this could be a game changer in collecting.
You can check out a few pics that I snapped here, and be sure to visit their site – and place an order as they have some currently in stock as of this post.
Hitting comic stores today are 4 new books in Marvel’s ever-expanding list of Star Wars titles. Click the links below to purchase digital versions of the following:
Darth Vader #10
Shattered Empire #2 (of 4)
Lando #5
Star Wars #10
All across the world, fans had their first crack at toys from the upcoming film… and from early reports, there wasn’t a whole lot of 3.75″ figures to go around in some areas. Some places didn’t even receive a single 6″ figure in time.
But, many people also went home happy with their scores – how about you? Happy? Mad? Will kids even have a shot at this stuff this weekend if distribution is as bad as this first night was in some areas?
