Yakfinities #77 Has Begun
Category Archives: Site News
New TVC @ Target
You are probably aware by now, but the latest assortment from The Vintage Collection has been showing up at Target stores.
Pickings are pretty slim, but with some luck (and persistence), you might be able to score some great new figures. Let us know what you’re coming across out in the wild (if anything at all) after the jump!
Yak’s Top Ten – TROS Results
In June, we posted a new Yak’s Top Ten, for the finale in the Skywalker Saga: The Rise of Skywalker. And now, the results are in!
Think you know who the most requested figure is? I guessed wrong. As a hint, it was the same character in both scales… I was surprised! I think that chances are, you will guess wrong too!
Check out which figures Yakface readers said they want to see made the most in The Vintage Collection by clicking HERE.
We have tallies for the most wanted additions to The Black Series as well, check out the 6-inch scale results by clicking HERE.
Hasbro seems to be avoiding most sequel trilogy material right now… but, are any of these on Hasbro’s short list? Should they be? Share your thoughts here or in our forums!
Yakface Patreon Membership is Now Live
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.

TVC @ Tuesday Morning
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.
Yak’s Top Ten – TROS
Yak’s Top Ten is back for another round, with the focus shifting over to the conclusion of the sequel trilogy – The Rise of Skywalker.
What figures do you want to see made in The Vintage Collection from The Rise of Skywalker? 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.
Customizer Spotlight: Utinniii
Our latest Customizer Spotlight focuses on a new diorama project by Yakface Forums member Utinniii! Really cool work here, with various in-progress images that are filled with depth and details.
Head over to the forums for a closer look!
Yak’s Top Ten: The Mandalorian Results
A few months back, we posted a new Yak’s Top Ten, for the insanely popular Disney+ series, The Mandalorian.
The results are in – check out which figures Yakface readers said they want to see made the most in The Vintage Collection by clicking here.
We also have tallies for the most wanted additions to The Black Series as well, check out the 6-inch scale results here.
Surprised by the results? Which of these do you think are on Hasbro’s short list? Share your thoughts here or in our forums. Plus, we’ll be posting another Yak’s Top Ten soon!
