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!
A new Yakfinities Customizing Challenge has kicked off and runs through June 30! The theme is Rebel Militia. We would be honored if you would join us in yet another customizing event in our forums after the jump!
Feeling a little stir crazy? If so, this could be a good time to dust off your customizing fodder and get to work.
For some inspiration, head on over to the forums and check out some fantastic custom figures by forum member Chuckles, in a much overdue Customizer Spotlight by clicking here!
A new Yakfinities Customizing Challenge will commence in April.
Right now, registered Yakface forum members can vote on the theme. The categories are: Medics, Bootlegs, Gladiators, Merchants, Rebel Militia, Force Acolytes, Ancient Droids, and Sheev Palpatine (any version).
If you are registered in our forums, click here to vote! And if you ‘re not registered, you should be. Our forums aren’t as hip as social media, but we have a great little community, especially in our customizing bubble.
Due to current events with the COVID-19 pandemic, Red Brick Collectibles is postponing this weekend’s toy show in St. Louis. The planned reschedule date at this time is May 10.
May the Force be with all of our readers during these sudden interruptions to our daily lives. Be smart, and stay healthy everyone… and please don’t panic!
Online stores (including at least one of our sponsors) are shipping out a new cycle of Stormtrooper goodness from Hasbro right now.
While we are nowhere close to the glory days of army building from 10-15 years ago, there is still demand out there in the market. This Stormtrooper, for example, should be constantly refreshed on the pegs at retail; yet it’s not. People have to resort to online buying to find these, which doesn’t even expose children to this greatness when they walk into the toy aisle. Hasbro is missing a huge opportunity here (and with so many other areas, but that’s a different conversation).
That being said, we’re curious as to how many of this Stormtrooper our readers have added to their ranks now. And how many more do you plan to acquire? Let us know, and we’d love to see more pics after the jump!
