Another new Yakfinities Customizing Challenge began in July, and runs through the end of September. The theme is “Star Wars Merchants” which gives everyone a lot of flexibility with their customs. Head on over to the forums for all the details after the jump!
We’ve received word that orders for the custom Space Trees from TwelfthParsec have started to arrive for collectors. Click on through to our forums for a great set of images courtesy of customizer my kind of scum.
localgotal returns like a Jedi with his latest additions to the popular Concept Series lineup he’s created. This update proposes 3 much-need inclusions to the popular (and preferred) Vintage Collection line of carded figures: The Emperor, Teebo and AT-ST Driver. Check them out, enjoy the pics, and join in the discussion after the jump!
Live from my garage, it’s Saturday night! On this episode of The Realm Recap we discuss the latest SDCC exclusive announcements and pre-orders, new details and commentary surrounding Star Wars Black Series products, a slew of customizing spotlights and, of course, our latest acquistions and purchases from the past week! Click on through to check out the latest episode and feel free to subscribe to our channel and leave suggestions on what you’d like to see covered on the show.
Also, if you prefer not to look at our ugly mugs, a downloadable MP3 is available as well.
The current Yakfinities Customizing Challenge runs through July 31 – have you gotten your entry in yet? If not, head to the forums to submit your custom, or check out the latest entries by clicking here.
UPDATE: Deadline is July 31 for this one due to an oversight on my part. Sorry for the confusion.
Did you get in on the Space Trees playset campaign by TwelfthParsec? If so, keep an eye on your emails as shipping notices wills start going out this week for those who contributed to the Early Bird campaign. And once you have your sets in hand, remember to share some pics in the forums!
Few things in the hobby excite me as much as seeing collectors who know how to display their stuff in massive dioramas, so when forum member Buried Egg shared pics of his Emperor’s Arrival scene, I immediately felt ashamed of my personal pathetic display of this icon scene, and had to share his work with all of you.
It’s stuff like this that inspires me to customize more when I can, and put extra effort into photonovels and the like. For more of his work and other great dioramas by Yakface forum members, head to the forums.
After a bit of a delay between updates, localgotal strikes back with a vengeance with his latest additions to the popular Concept Series lineup he’s created. This latest update harkens back to the roots of the Star Wars saga, and includes three figures that are long overdue for updates by Hasbro.
Why they aren’t making figures like he proposes is quite beyond my capacity. Check them out, enjoy the pics, and join in the discussion after the jump!
Yakface forum member Darth Kikinou has informed us of many new photonovel additions to The Photonovel Alliance – including some great new Indiana Jones adventures by Lance Quazar, and the most recent installment in The Enloe Trials by yours truly.
Kick off your shoes and make yourself comfortable with your morning coffee and spend some time checking out some of the great Star Wars adventures housed on his site – I would argue that some of the creativity and storytelling there rivals the work professionals who get paid to do this for a living.
This evening we invite you to take a peek into the customizing world of forum member Evilivo. This customizer specializes in upgrading figures of characters most of us already have, and the results are outstanding. Head to the forums for a closer look at his recent work.
