Yakfinities Deadline Approaching

The current Yakfinities Customizing Challenge runs through Dec 31, so we’ve got just over two weeks remaining for final submissions.

The theme is the Imperial Remnant… meaning any sort of Imperial you want to make a custom that you feel fits into the post-ROTJ timeline is fair game.

Whether it be an official character, or your own fan-fiction Imperial troops, head on over and submit your work in our forums after the jump!

Yak’s Top Ten: The Sequel trilogy

Hasbro seems to have completely forgotten about the Sequel Trilogy these days, but many of us have hopes that they expand The Vintage Collection soon and begin including some much-needed figures from the era of The First Order.

What are the top ten figures that you most desperately want to see made in The Vintage Collection from The Sequel Trilogy? Post your TVC wish list HERE.

You can also do the same thing for the 6″ scale line in The Black Series. Post your 6″ TBS wish list right HERE.

Note: Wish lists may also be posted in the comments section of this article. You may post both a TVC and TBS list, but please do not post your wish lists in this comments section AND in the forums. And please remember to indicate if you’re referring to TVC or TBS with each list.

Yak’s Top Ten: The Prequel Trilogy

We are well aware that Hasbro is starting to dabble in repacking some figures from The Prequel Trilogy into The Vintage Collection. We’re even starting to see some more attention on The Clone Wars. However, many of us want to see Hasbro actually deliver all-new product from the prequel films still, so we have started a new Yak’s Top Ten in our forums focusing on The Prequel Trilogy!

What are the top ten figures that you most desperately want to see made in The Vintage Collection from The Prequel Trilogy? Post your TVC wish list HERE.

You can also do the same thing for the 6″ scale line in The Black Series. Post your 6″ TBS wish list right HERE.

Note: Wish lists may also be posted in the comments section of this article. You may post both a TVC and TBS list, but please do not post your wish lists in this comments section AND in the forums. And please remember to indicate if you’re referring to TVC or TBS with each list.
