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.
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!).
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!
Customizers have until 11:59pm CST June 30 to submit an entry for Yakfinities #48 – The Clone Wars. Entries can be realistic or animated style for this, and should be in the spirit of the Clone Wars theme.
Head on over to the forums to submit your entry, or to enjoy the most recent entries by clicking here.
Forum member jedimasteradi recently took the photonovel section of the Yakface forums by storm when he launched the first chapter in his new photonovel series, The Adventures of Jarred Yunis.
He has already followed up with Chapter 2 and Chapter 3. Each of these are a fun read and I think any Star Wars fan who enjoys customizing or the art of storytelling will enjoy them. Head on over to the forums and enjoy this great new series after the jump!
There’s been some amazing custom Sail Barges made over the years, and this auction listing is one of the best ones I’ve seen. Check it out and enjoy all the pics of this spectacular vehicle/playset from ROTJ that Hasbro will hopefully turn their attention to.
