Yakface Patreon Membership is Now Live

Leave a comment

Well, I’ve had a lot of requests to create a Patreon page for the site in recent weeks, and after some encouragement, I’ve decided to open one. First and foremost, thank you to all of the yakface.com followers (site and social media) for the kind words lately regarding keeping collectors up-to-date with the latest rumors and (disastrous) preorder launches. (It blows me away that corporations the size of Hasbro and Walmart can screw preorders up so badly and on so many levels.)

For the most part, the Patreon page will serve as a blog separate from the site with some more random thoughts but it will still include occasional previews of upcoming articles, rumors, announcements and more. Patreon members can also make content suggestions as well.

We’ll see how this goes as I do spend a lot of my free time hunting for unannounced product which I’m sure will interest you more than my ramblings anyway. Donate what you wantper month – there’s no tiered levels of content at this point.

Again, thank you for the kind words and an advanced thank you to those that donate/contribute to the page to support the site. MTFBWY.

– Jayson

TVC @ Tuesday Morning

Leave a comment
All I found was an army of Chewbacca figures at my local store.

Some Tuesday Morning locations have been putting out various figures from The Vintage Collection that were apparently never picked up at retail (potentially due to the Snoke / repack wave logjam). If you have one of these stores in your area, it might be worth making a quick stop to see what they have on the pegs. I’ve even heard that Death Troopers have been spotted in the wild.

Let us know what you’re seeing in your area here or in our forums.

We’ve wrapped up another Yakfinities Customizing Challenge, and the amount of customizing greatness is jaw-dropping.

Once you get past the talent on display in our Roundup Report, also consider the level of dedication from fans in making in-demand figures that Hasbro isn’t getting to.

So, kick back and spend a few minutes to enjoy all the customs submitted, and see who is also walking away with some random prizes after the jump!
