Were drooling over another Concept Series idea by localgotal, which is a figure that I’m surprised Hasbro hasn’t made yet. What character could it be? Find out, and share your thoughts after the jump!

The Enloe Trials: Chapter V Approaching
The next installment in The Enloe Trials photonovel series will be here soon, and for this next chapter there will be several new scenes… but before that can happen, I’ve been busy building several new custom dioramas! Check out a sneak peek by clicking here.
And for a refresher before the next chapter will be posted, catch up on Chapter IV: Shadow of Death.
Concept of the Week #6
We kick off another Concept Series idea by localgotal today, and this one is nothing short of fantastic… it’s 4 all new figures from A New Hope… ones that we’ll probably never see Hasbro make, which is a shame… because these would rock as an exclusive box set. I doubt many of us would pass on this set… I’d buy at minimum, three of these sets.

Yakfinities #51 – Vote Now
The first Yakfinities Customizing Challenge of 2014 will launch in January – but before it begins, we have to decide what the theme will be! Head on over to the forums to review the ballot, then cast your vote!
Concept of the Week #5
It’s Monday… and that means it’s time to check out another great Concept Series installment by localgotal!
This week’s feature entails not one, but several figures to form a Cinema Scene from a memorable scene in A New Hope! Check it out, and share your thoughts for the eyes at Hasbro – would you buy these figures?
Yakfinities #50 Continues
The 50th Yakfinities Customizing Challenge continues through December 31, so there’s still several weeks to get those entries in! This one also will be up for a grand prize, as the Yakface staff will be voting for their favorite entries.
You can submit your entries by clicking here, but remember, in order to be eligible for a prize, your submission(s) should be a new custom made for the contest… and not something you made previously.
Boldly going where no diorama has gone before…
For those that supported the indiegogo campaign for Galactic Merchants, it appears your investment is about to pay off as the creators have begun shipping their Space Station walls sets! Be on the lookout for email notifications of your order shipping, and until that time, you can check out a full gallery of the sets I received in the mail today.
Personal Note: Without a doubt, these are the highlight of the year for me in collecting. In fact, these might be the best thing I’ve been able to acquire in this hobby for the last several years. With these, we the fans who have supported this hobby for nearly 20 years in the modern era, can finally have adequate displays to show off our figures without having to spend frustrating hours on end making our own sets. It’s just a shame that the company who makes the figures has ignored such a concept for so long. The Galactic Merchants team has done the fan community a great service with these sets and they should be applauded for their efforts.
Concept of the Week #4
Another week has passed, and that means we’ve got another new Concept Series update from localgotal! This week’s feature is inspired by the Dark Horse series, The Star Wars. It’s a figure that would be easy money for Hasbro, so we can’t help but wonder why they didn’t make this.
Maybe after they see this, they will consider it. Either way, check out this great new concept figure after the jump!
Easy Modification to Merumeru
If you’ve been lucky enough to get your hands on Hasbro’s new Merumeru figure, you may not be too happy about the sculpted armor on his right forearm.
But if you’re willing to shell out for a second copy of this figure, you can make a pretty simple modification to give him a more natural look, which essentially gives you a generic Wookiee. Check out this simple process after the jump!
Concept of the Week #3
It’s a new week – and that means it’s time for a new Concept Series reveal by localgotal!
The latest concept is an update on a character that Hasbro first released back in the POTJ line.. I’d buy this figure… would you? Decide for yourself after the jump!
