Space Station Diorama Walls: Goal Met!

For those hoping to be able to construct your own diorama backgrounds for your action figures, we have some great news as the kickstarter campaign has already reached the fundraising goal!

Yakface.com has no official affiliation with this campaign, but we are happy to help promote this getting off the ground for Star Wars fans who have been begging for items like this to be made for years on end.  We also know that several of our forum members stepped up to the plate and showed their support with their contributions.  Thank you to everyone (especially the Galactic Merchants team) for getting this ball rolling.

We hope that this is just the beginning of a larger world for collectors and kids alike as these dioramas may be part of making this hobby as fun as it once was.

Last week, we learned that the time may finally be approaching where Star Wars fans worldwide can FINALLY purchase diorama sets to display our 3.75″ scale figures… and now the kickstarter campaign is LIVE!

If this campaign is successful and this project becomes reality, it will mean that Star Wars fans the world over will finally be able to proudly display their collections in the way that they have long wanted.

We are hoping that our readers will support this – and if you’d like to be able to help make this happen, click here for more details.

Sideshow Collectibles announces today a Premium Format Stormtrooper Commander which will be available exclusively through Sideshow Collectibles dealers. To find a store near you, visit their “Find A Store” link. Question is, now that they’ve done the Commander and are reusing that original stormtrooper sculpt (again), could we see an Incinerator Trooper Premium Format as well?
