We assume most of our readers by now are aware of the Space Station Display Project that’s underway, but in case you haven’t noticed, this is shaping up to be one hell of a dream come true for collectors. For more details, click here or join the drool-fest in our forums!
Work is underway for the next installment of The Enloe Trials photonovel series as Rykrof Enloe leads a strike force to recover an ancient Sith artifact on the hostile world, Dathomir.
Over the coming weeks we will have some previews and behind the scenes custom updates for the next chapter — until then, be sure to catch up with Chapter 3: Revelations.
If you enjoy amazing dioramas (and what collector doesn’t?), forum member localgotal has posted a plethora of amazing images in our forums. Check them out and prepare to drool after the jump!
For those hoping to be able to construct your own diorama backgrounds for your action figures, we have some great news as the kickstarter campaign has already reached the fundraising goal!
Yakface.com has no official affiliation with this campaign, but we are happy to help promote this getting off the ground for Star Wars fans who have been begging for items like this to be made for years on end. We also know that several of our forum members stepped up to the plate and showed their support with their contributions. Thank you to everyone (especially the Galactic Merchants team) for getting this ball rolling.
We hope that this is just the beginning of a larger world for collectors and kids alike as these dioramas may be part of making this hobby as fun as it once was.
Today we highlight the great work of customizer DarthDaddy, who presents a great trio of ANH customs that we hope Hasbro turns some attention to soon. Check out full size images of these customs after the jump!
Diorama master OGTrilogy is back at it again, this time with a very memorable scene from Return of the Jedi.
Check out his latest creation after the jump!
By now you have seen images of Adam Savage (Mythbusters) cosplaying at Admiral Ackbar for this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. Now you can watch and read just how he created (and perfected) this amazing disguise over at Tested.com. Also be sure to check out the video of him building Han’s infamous DL-44 blaster.
While not implicitly Star Wars related, this new G.I.JOE Retaliation promotion from Hasbro’s G.I.JOE brand may be something Star Wars collectors can get behind. It is a custom action figure sweepstakes where you design a figure (male or female) online and if you win it gets produced. Head on over to buildagijoe.com to create your figure today! What do you think of this concept? Let us know here in the comment section or in our forums.
For well over a decade, Star Wars collectors and kids alike have wanted Hasbro to make some sort of action figure display units (or even playsets) in the 3.75″ scale, but our pleas always fall on deaf ears.
But now the market might finally have a chance in the future to be able to spend our dollars on such items (and no, it ain’t through Hasbro). Head on over to the forums for more details.
This afternoon we highlight some more of the custom figures submitted by readers in our forums.
First up, forum member babylon shares some great Cantina alien customs that we’re still waiting on Hasbro to make. Check them out here!
The always awesome jedistyle has also updated his customizing thread, this time with some new Mandalorians.
Evilivo emerges onto the scene as well, with some absolutely stunning custom figures like the above pictured C-3PO.
Bringing up the rear are some new customs that will appear in The Enloe Trials photonovel series as well.
