A new Yakfinities Customizing Challenge has launched in our forums. The theme is Interwar Characters.
For example, a custom of Obi Wan Kenobi after Order 66 as he watched over Luke on Tatooine. Or, perhaps a custom of Lando after he lost the Falcon to Han? What was Admiral Ackbar up to during his retirement? Or how about trying to make a custom of one of Luke Skywalker’s Jedi students?
Head on over to the forums to submit your custom, or see what others have already created under this theme after the jump!
We are saddened to learn the passing of Stanley Opiel II due to COVID-19. He has participated for many years in the community as a talented customizer and we’ve exchanged many public and private conversations regarding customizing and Star Wars collecting in general. We send our condolences to his family and friends during this painful time.
The three customs above are just a sample of over 160 custom figures submitted.
Customizers from across the collecting community recently wrapped up submissions for our 77th Yakfinities Customizing Challenge. We had one of our greatest participation rates yet, and some of the entries are jaw-dropping.
Check them out and see who is walking away with prizes after the jump!

There have been multiple customs dedicated to the Original Trilogy in the current Yakfinities.
The current Yakfinities Customizing Challenge is in full steam with just a few weeks to go before the deadline of September 30. The theme is Open Season, which means pretty much any new custom made that has a Star Wars theme can be submitted.

We try our hand and making a Star Wars-inspired book nook diorama, scaled for standard 3.75″ Hasbro figures! Norm brings this project to the cave to go over the details with Adam in our first socially distanced show and tell, and then walks us through the design and build process for integrating LED lighting, mirrored hallway illusions, and acrylic joinery. We’re hooked on making book nooks!
The above kit consists of 27 resin parts and 2 railing pieces 3D printed in resin. More complex assembly required than most items, but hangar dioramas will come to life with this addition.
Holeinthegroundpro has just unveiled a stunning new product for the 3.75″ scale. You can order yours today by clicking here, and you can discuss your thoughts and share ideas for new offerings in our forums.
