The most recent Yakfinities Customizing Challenge has come to an end, and features some of the best figures ever made for one of our customizing challenges. There were over 50 figures made when it was all said and done, and we’ve got some prizes to hand out too! Head on over to the Yakface Forums for a recap!
What’s even more awesome than a group of great customs? A killer custom diorama! And we’ve got a great one to show off in the forums, by XTSOperative, who has made a spectacular Coruscant Underworld! Kick back for a moment and enjoy all a ton of great pics of this masterpiece after the jump!
Just when I thought it was safe to take a break and focus on other priorities, the customizers in our forums have shown why this aspect of the hobby is just as fun as it’s ever been.
First off, you have to check out what Stronox has just completed – a different, and amazing take on the new Dathomir Nightsister figure – check it out, and more right here!

Last but not least, one of our favorite customizers, Darth Daddy, has revealed some insanely awesome Clone Wars Nightsisters – be sure to check them out as well!
Diorama guru OGTrilogy recently wrapped up construction on an amazing Indiana Jones custom diorama/playset — what a shame it is that Hasbro hasn’t worked out a deal with a company like Sideshow to produce stuff like this for our 3.75 Star Wars, Indiana Jones and GI JOE collections!
