The highly anticipated Dark Horse series, The Star Wars, hits stores this week. So be on the lookout for this very original take on the screenplay that started it all – and of note, our current Yakfinities Customizing Challenge is themed after Dark Horse comics too – (hint, hint)!
Forum member JawaKing has completed one of the coolest customs I’ve seen posted in our forums… ever. It’s one of the headless aliens from the Droids cartoon series… and it rocks. This is one that Hasbro really ought to look at… check it out it all its glory after the jump!
Note: We don’t normally share eBay links, but in this case we are making an exception. You can bid on this figure here.
After seeing Ryan’s awesome Mini Wars artwork a few days ago, I sent him quick email first to praise his design and to inquire about how Yak Face would look in this style. Ryan came through big time and have given us the exclusive reveal! Click on through to check out his complete design and blind box packaging concept for our namesake.
The folks at Galactic Merchants have shared another outstanding update showing further progress on the upcoming display environments they are offering to the fan community. Check out the full image they’ve shared in the forums!
Earlier in the summer, we posted an SDCC wishlist that unfortunately didn’t come true, but since that time, forum moderator localgotal has been sharing some amazing mockups of figures that blow nearly all of Hasbro’s offerings for 2013 out of the water.
Check out the latest examples that he’s put together in the forums, and join us in scratching our heads as to why Hasbro wouldn’t launch The Black Series with figures like the examples above rather than packing Wave 1 with 2x per case of figures like Biggs Darklighter and Episode II Anakin Skywalker… because any of the above figures, packed at even 3x per case would be better than much of what’s in Hasbro’s launch wave.
Now… if we can just get him to mock up some playsets…
Although I’ve never been a huge fan of The Clone Wars styling, I have to admit, seeing a Clone Wars animated rendering of my fan fiction photonovel character, Rykrof Enloe, blows me away (and suddenly I find the styling a lot more appealing)! Check out the full rendition that forum member jedimasteradi created by clicking here!
The latest Yakfinities Customizing Challenge continues through the end of September, which means there is still plenty of time to roll up your sleeves and get to work on a custom submission! Or, kick back and check out the latest custom figures submitted in the Yakface Forums!
Forum member CloneCrazy has just wrapped up a new installment in his photonovel series, Shroud of Darkness. Check out this latest fan-fiction Clone Wars chapter in our forums after the jump!
As you can probably tell by now, we have fallen head over heels for the amazing diorama project by Galactic Merchants. And now, they’ve revealed a sneak peek in our forums – check it out after the jump!
