Customizer Mega Spotlight
When the going gets tough for finding new product at retail, customizing can be a great way to add “new” figures to your collection! Check out the latest custom figures from several great customizers in the Yakface forums – if these were basic figures at retail, they would be hard to pass up!
First off, Incom shows off an amazing custom of Mandalorian Novoc Vevut – check it out here!
Next up, if you think Hasbro should give us a new Airborne Trooper, you’ll certainly like this one from forumite PackRatStudios!
Marcus Starkiller also joins in the fun with a cool Special Forces Rebel Sniper!
Last but not least, Fritzkrieg comes back to the Star Wars front with a very nice rendition of a Republic Commando!
Customizer Spotlight – Peakob1
Yakface forum member Peakob1 has added several more creations recently to his customizing thread, including an amazing alternate paint scheme on the Clone Wars Y-Wing Bomber.
