An all new adventure in The Enloe Trials photonovel series picks back up today, as Rykrof Enloe and his team of Rebels attempt to recover an ancient Sith artifact from a destroyed Imperial research facility on Dathomir.
Rykrof will discover he’s in for much more than he expected as the mission quickly falls apart; as Darth Vader has taken an interest in recovering the relic as he leads his best troops into battle on the planet.
Head on over to the forums for the full adventure after the jump!
A new chapter in The Enloe Trails photonovel series is under production, and currently is scheduled for a June release. For additional full previews, head on over to the forums for a closer look.
We recently jointed forces with our good friends at www.imperialshipyards.net through a joint customizing event to create some “REBELS” themed custom figures.

Next, wraith_nineyak continues to expand his Clone Wars line of clone troopers… if you’re a fan of the animated styling, you will certainly want to check out his latest updates!
We are also treated to a great Clone Wars take on Chancellor Palpatine, courtesy of Elias – which is even more impressive considering he is only 10 years old (great sign of things to come for many years!).
Finally, we also show a great take on a non-Star Wars custom… it’s a Lord of the Rings Ringwraith in the 3.75″ scale from Evilivo!

The fan community was recently exposed to Hasbro’s upcoming Rebels line, which has been met with mixed results as so many of us prefer good articulation and more detailed sculpts with the Star Wars lines rather than what Hasbro revealed.
Soon after, we teamed up with Imperialshipyards.net to host a customizing event where fans can make their own Rebels themed customs and have a chance to win some cool prizes. While the number of entries has been somewhat modest thus far, the quality has been fantastic.
To check out the latest entries, click here – and remember, entries will be accepted until the end of April.

The guys at TwelfthParsec have written in to let us know about an update on their campaign to deliver some cool Ewok related items to the market (including playsets). They have met their fundraising goal, but have been able to extend their campaign a bit longer with some new stretch goals in mind, and for each goal met, contributors will get special perks with additional accessories with their order.
Read all about it here, and their campaign page can be accessed here. Better act quick if you want to get your hands on one of these sets though, the campaign ends in one week!
