The current Yakfinities Customizing Challenge only has a few weeks left! Be sure to get your Concept Series entries in by the deadline of March 31.
Concept Series customs can be anything from figures based on Ralph McQuarrie concept artwork to something from you own imagination. What if Luke Skywalker had never gone into seclusion? Or if Leia had become a full fledged Jedi Knight? What if tauntauns could fly?
Check out the latest custom entries or submit your own after the jump!
If you have a Best Buy in your area, if may be worth your time to swing by and check out their toy/collector section. Quite a few various Star Wars items have been marked down (as well as other brands, such as Marvel). Good luck and as always your mileage may vary.
Yak’s Top Ten returns, with the theme switching over to something that until recently didn’t seem to be in Hasbro’s game plan… PLAYSETS! But of course, something has changed at Hasbro on this front (for the better).
What playsets do you want to see made in The Vintage Collection from? 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 indicate if you’re referring to TVC or TBS with each list.
A new chapter in The Enloe Trials has just been posted in the forums. Check it out and I would love to read some feedback after the jump!
Yakface Forum member Chuckles has been on a roll lately with several custom figures to help populate Hasbro’s Sail Barge. Check out his excellent work after the jump!
A new installment in the adventures of Rykrof Enloe is coming to the Yakface Forums later this month. Check out the previews and sound off with your thoughts here or in the forums.
Thanks to some excellent Toy Fair photos courtesy of Justin LaSalata, we can do a little side by side shot of the upcoming Stormtrooper releases coming in The Vintage Collection (Han Solo and Rogue One version). Check them out after the jump!
There have been reports of Walmart stores receiving more shipments of the 6″ Mimban Stormtrooper recently, and this morning I saw the same thing.
If you’re looking to add to your ranks, it might worth your time to stop by your local Walmart to see if they have received new shipments (or are receiving for the first time). Happy hunting!
Yakfinities #70 has concluded and we’ve got nearly 150 customs in the roundup report!
Check it out, and see which Yakkers are walking away with free figures after the jump!
While Hasbro’s performance over the past year(s) has been pretty disappointing for most 3.75″ fans, I must say they surprised me with the attention they gave the new R1-J5 droid in the Resistance toy line.
I highly recommend picking up this figure if you see it, even if you are passing on the rest of the line. This is a cool toy and reminds me of the product they were pushing a decade ago – check out more pics of this droid (including his removable part features) in the forums.
