After a bit of a much deserved break, localgotal returns with another stunning addition to his Concept Series… Cinema Scenes! This format of action figure 3-pks was very enjoyable back in the 1990s, and if done in the fashion that are shown in the forums, it seems that these would be very popular again, if not more successful. Check out the latest additions to the Concept Series, and share your thoughts after the jump!
If you’re looking to fill another glaring hole in your collection, now’s your chance thanks to yet another killer item from Yakface forum member Raylen! Head on over to the forums for a closer look, and place your orders here!
Forum member and photonovel genius Lance Quazar returns to the scene with the beginning of an adventure for all you Indiana Jones fanatics… Indiana Jones and the Mayan Secret!
This storyline is all part of a contest he has entered at The Indy Cast, and regardless of how this places, it’s a fantastic start to a new ongoing series that looks very promising. So kick back for a few minutes and appreciate the hard work he’s put into this – because I’m guessing if you do, you’re going to enjoy the ride.
Forum member Raylen continues to deliver great 3.75″ scale diorama items, offering collectors a way to fill the void that Hasbro has ignored for almost 20 years now.

Those of you active in our customizing forums have likely been keeping up on the great work of our forum members, but with all the Toy Fair news in recent weeks, even I sometimes do the unthinkable… I miss some great custom updates from our forum community contributors…
So without further delay, customizing legend Incom has recently created some fantastic custom figures are part of a commission project – I’m certainly envious of his Rachi Sitra Twi’lek custom, and I expect many of you will be too after you take a closer look.
After that, be sure to check out how Evilivo has restored a busted up X-Wing fighter, including sculpting the R2-D2 into the socket – just amazing work!
Forumite Customjedi also has created something that seems like a complete no-brainer (and easy money!) for Hasbro… a C-3PO using the superior Build-A-Droid sculpt. Why the heck hasn’t Hasbro made this yet?
Last but not least, tokiravensky has made a fun take on Han Solo following the events of Return of the Jedi… along with some other cool works definitely worth checking out.

Always in motion, my work schedule is… which has caused some delays in the production for the next installment in The Enloe Trials photonovel series. However, previews are still expected to be ready later this month for Chapter 6… until then, please do check out the most recent chapter in our forums.
