It’s A Mask! The Making of Adam Savage’s Admiral Ackbar Costume
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.
Custom G.I.JOE Figure Sweepstakes
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.
Star Wars Figure Display and Diorama Project
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.
Customizer Mega Spotlight
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.

Yakfinities #48 Roundup Report
The most recent Yakfinities Customizing Challenge, The Clone Wars, has wrapped up and we’ve got nearly 100 customs to show off in the Roundup Report made by Yakface forum members. The participation and quality of entries was off the chart – check out all the submissions and see which random winners are walking away with some Hasbro Star Wars action figures as prizes after the jump!
More Wishful Thinking… :-)
We recently posted a wishlist for SDCC reveals in our forums, and now forum member localgotal has added some outstanding mock-ups for some Cinema Scenes that would sell like hotcakes if Hasbro would just make them like the pics he has shown. Check them out after the jump (but remember, none of this has actually been announced by Hasbro – but it should be!).
The Shroud of Darkness
Forum member CloneCrazy has added another installment to his eye popping photonovel series, The Shroud of Darkness.
If you haven’t caught up to the first chapter yet, you can do so by clicking here. After that, be sure to check out the second installment too, which features an outstanding battle scene as Anakin Skywalker must protect his new bride from terrorists hired by none other than the Viceroy of the Trade Federation!
I must say, all these great new photonovels in the forums recently is starting to make it feel like 2007 all over again!
