Concept Series Returns

Today we get a fun treat from Yakface contributor and forum moderator localgotal – the return of the Yakface Concept Series (with some great eye candy for some new “what if” figures).

With Hasbro seeking fan input, now is the time to get back in the swing of idea sharing, concept art, etc. for the highly anticipated return of The Vintage Collection!

Share your ideas here, in our Concept Series Section, and across the collecting community.

Custom Playsets for Sale

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! 

Display, Care and Maintenance of Your New Sail Barge

So you’ve committed to purchasing Jabba’s Sail Barge*, but that may be the easiest of part of this project as you hopefully want to show off your prize in some sort of display. I’ve seen a lot of cool ideas featured around the web from custom glass cases to  repurposed aquariums. We’re asking how are you going to feature this behemoth in your collection? Leave a comment with your plans or suggestions.

*Will Smith does not endorse the purchase of the barge.

Custom 6″ Yak Face from Star Wars: A Custom 1:12 Galaxy

A new customizing community has launched via a private Facebook group. Star Wars: A Custom 1:12 Galaxy is a community of like-minded customizers as well as an educational resource for 1:12 Star Wars custom figures and dioramas. Their customizer’s archive is a variable “cookbook” chock-full of figure recipes, diorama blueprints, tutorial guides and a databank of materials that will allow you to search out and find the unique custom cast parts you need to complete any project. 

To help promote this endeavor, we are proud to debut their recipe and tutorial for an amazing 6″ Yak Face/Saelt Marae figure. Click on through for the detailed images and info.
