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!
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.
Production work has begun on the next installment in The Enloe Trials photonovel series. Previews can be found here, and if you need to catch up on the most recent chapter, head on over to the forums.
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!
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!).
