Torture Your Droids, Jabba Style

Leave a comment

Yakface forum member Raylen has just released for purchase his latest diorama accessory piece — the contraption droids fear most – the Droid Torture Rack!

You can order this awesome environment piece for your collection at Holeinthegroundpro.com, and feel free to discuss this latest diorama-builder offering in the forums.

Personal Note:  I’ve ordered several items from Raylen, and have been very impressed with each item.   His products are top notch quality, and they fill in huge gaps that have been missing in my scenes, from cantina chairs to Imperial accessory pieces.

Possible Customizing Remedy for Luke’s Arms

7 Comments

fixluke2

Quite a few collectors have shared their annoyance in our forums with the appearance of the arms on Hasbro’s new Dagobah Luke.  But there may be other options to “fix” this young Jedi by borrowing parts from other figures – such as the 2004 VOTC Luke.

There’s no guarantee this will be a perfect remedy (or work at all), but as a customizer this is something that I intend to try and modify as best I can – and there’s no doubt we’ll see many other customizers attempting to correct Hasbro’s work on this figure too.  What do you think?  Sound off with your thoughts in the forums.

The hobby may be shifting toward Star Wars Rebels and Episode VII buzz, but all the while, customizers from around the world continue to pump out great custom figures from previously established reference material.

First up, clone custom guru Wraithnine has added some more masterpieces to his Republic forces, which you can check out here.

Peakob1 also gets into the mix, with another outstanding custom in the Clone Wars styling.

We’re also treated to a much more realistic look to Greedo’s vest by customizing master Evilivo, which can be seen in his thread.

Last but certainly not least, soft goods master mousedroidhoojib shares his rendition of a concept version of Padme Amidala.

Check these out, and all the countless other custom figures posted in our forums.

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!

We recently jointed forces with our good friends at www.imperialshipyards.net through a joint customizing event to create some “REBELS” themed custom figures.  The event has now concluded, and we have a lot of great figures to show in the Roundup Report – and even a Random Prize Winner to announce too – so kick back and check it all out after the jump!

If you’re active in the Yakface customizing forums, you have more than likely been keeping up on the great work of our forum members – but if not, this post is for you, because it means you’re missing out on some great eye candy!

So without further delay, customizer darthcrassus has been very active with new  updates lately, including a fantastic take on Jariah Syn, which you can take a closer look at here.

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!
