This evening we invite you to take a peek into the customizing world of forum member Evilivo. This customizer specializes in upgrading figures of characters most of us already have, and the results are outstanding. Head to the forums for a closer look at his recent work.
Quite a few collectors have shared their annoyance in our forums with the appearance of the arms on Hasbro’s new Dagobah Luke. But there may be other options to “fix” this young Jedi by borrowing parts from other figures – such as the 2004 VOTC Luke.
There’s no guarantee this will be a perfect remedy (or work at all), but as a customizer this is something that I intend to try and modify as best I can – and there’s no doubt we’ll see many other customizers attempting to correct Hasbro’s work on this figure too. What do you think? Sound off with your thoughts in the forums.
The hobby may be shifting toward Star Wars Rebels and Episode VII buzz, but all the while, customizers from around the world continue to pump out great custom figures from previously established reference material.
First up, clone custom guru Wraithnine has added some more masterpieces to his Republic forces, which you can check out here.
Peakob1 also gets into the mix, with another outstanding custom in the Clone Wars styling.
We’re also treated to a much more realistic look to Greedo’s vest by customizing master Evilivo, which can be seen in his thread.
Last but certainly not least, soft goods master mousedroidhoojib shares his rendition of a concept version of Padme Amidala.
Check these out, and all the countless other custom figures posted in our forums.
For so many of us, half the anticipation of a new Star Wars film is all about the action figures, playsets and vehicles. So with all the recent image leaks from the set of Star Wars: Episode VII, speculation on what Hasbro’s plans are for the upcoming film are being discussed in the forums.
While we are keeping our front page mostly spoiler free, be warned that the thread you are about to link to is full of spoiler images from the upcoming film. So if you’re not afraid of seeing these images and want to share your thoughts, head on over to the forums and join the discussions already in progress.
Voting has begun for the next Yakfinities Customizing Challenge – which will launch in July. So head on over to the forums and check out the different themes to choose from, then cast your ballot.
An all new adventure in The Enloe Trials photonovel series picks back up today, as Rykrof Enloe and his team of Rebels attempt to recover an ancient Sith artifact from a destroyed Imperial research facility on Dathomir.
Rykrof will discover he’s in for much more than he expected as the mission quickly falls apart; as Darth Vader has taken an interest in recovering the relic as he leads his best troops into battle on the planet.
Head on over to the forums for the full adventure after the jump!
A new chapter in The Enloe Trails photonovel series is under production, and currently is scheduled for a June release. For additional full previews, head on over to the forums for a closer look.
We recently jointed forces with our good friends at www.imperialshipyards.net through a joint customizing event to create some “REBELS” themed custom figures. The event has now concluded, and we have a lot of great figures to show in the Roundup Report – and even a Random Prize Winner to announce too – so kick back and check it all out after the jump!
The fan community was recently exposed to Hasbro’s upcoming Rebels line, which has been met with mixed results as so many of us prefer good articulation and more detailed sculpts with the Star Wars lines rather than what Hasbro revealed.
Soon after, we teamed up with Imperialshipyards.net to host a customizing event where fans can make their own Rebels themed customs and have a chance to win some cool prizes. While the number of entries has been somewhat modest thus far, the quality has been fantastic.
To check out the latest entries, click here – and remember, entries will be accepted until the end of April.
Our current Customizing Challenge is starting to kick into high gear as customizers across the fan community have created some amazing custom figures already in honor of Jabba the Hutt’s Entourage! Check out the latest submissions, or roll up your sleeves and create your own entry and show off your skills after the jump!
