While collectors are anxiously awaiting to receive their pre-ordered playset walls in the coming weeks, Galactic Merchants teases us with their first 3.75″ scale figure. Check out a full sized pic of this latest masterpiece in the forums, and be sure to follow their Facebook page here!
After a crazy week at work, it’s nice to kick back and enjoy some of the great customs by our forum members.
Leading things off, darthcrassus shows off his custom of Nomi Sunrider; you can see this and many more of his customs here.
If you’re a fan of furballs, then check out some cool new Ewok customs by forum member darthapathy too.
We’ve also got a huge update from forum newcomer nighthawk, who reminds us just how much fun clone customs can still be.
Last but not least, wraithnine shows off his latest astromech customs as well!
If you pre-ordered the Amazon exclusive Droid Factory wave, you may want to check your order status. Forum member JawaKing‘s order now shows as shipped, with an estimated arrival date of October 31.
Customizers participating in Yakfinities #50 also have a shot at winning these figures too (hint, hint)!
Our good friends at Imperialshipyards are offering up some zombie themed head sculpts for all you customizers out there. With Halloween right around the corner, now is the perfect time to place an order!
Personal Note: Why hasn’t Hasbro made a Death Trooper? Are they unaware that zombies are all the rage right now? And don’t they realize how popular the GI Joe line’s Zombie Viper was (and still is)?
Our 50th Yakfinities Customizing Challenge continues as several customizers have already contributed to the latest theme, The Original Trilogy!
The entries thus far have been outstanding, and in addition to our standard random winners, someone will win the Amazon exclusive Droid Factory wave for the grand prize!
Whether you’ve never customized before or are a crafty veteran, head on over to the forums and and show off your skills!
Forum member CloneCrazy has shared another chapter in his Shroud of Darkness photonovel series for your viewing pleasure. Check it out and enjoy his latest Clone Wars photonovel installment after the jump!
Our first customizing challenge here at Yakface began as a bit of an experiment back in August of 2006 – and here we are now, seven years later, and have hit a bit of a milestone – the 50th Yakfinities Customizing Challenge has begun!
The rules are simple… create any sort of new custom that is inspired by the Original Trilogy… it can be that certain cantina alien that Hasbro just won’t pull the trigger on, an ultimate Luke Skywalker, something “off screen,” or whatever – the choice is yours.
But this time, rather than the usual random winners, we will also be selecting a Grand Prize winner… which will receive the upcoming Amazon exclusive Droid Factory wave of figures.
Head on over to the forums for all the details after the jump!
This weekend we spotlight more of the great customizing work being done by Star Wars fans in our forum community.
Leading this off, we have Stocos28, who shines as always with a Twi’lek Jedi, and more which can be seen here.
Next up, we have a great tribute to the vintage bootleg Uzay Headman and several other customs, courtesy of Tonphanan.
After that, try to keep your socks on when you see the Pong Krell custom by Darth Daddy (we are all still wondering why Hasbro hasn’t made this guy yet).
Last by not least, darth naes shows off a killer battle damaged Darth Vader custom from the Dark Horse comics series in his customizing thread.
The latest Yakfinities Customizing Challenge has just concluded, and we’ve got over 40 great entries in the roundup report for your viewing pleasure! Head on over to the forums to check out all the entries, and see who is walking away with some free Star Wars figures as prizes.
