Yakfinities #48 Roundup Report

yak48roundup

The most recent Yakfinities Customizing Challenge, The Clone Wars, has wrapped up and we’ve got nearly 100 customs to show off in the Roundup Report made by Yakface forum members.  The participation and quality of entries was off the chart – check out all the submissions and see which random winners are walking away with some Hasbro Star Wars action figures as prizes after the jump!

More Wishful Thinking… :-)

We recently posted a wishlist for SDCC reveals in our forums, and now forum member localgotal has added some outstanding mock-ups for some Cinema Scenes that would sell like hotcakes if Hasbro would just make them like the pics he has shown.   Check them out after the jump (but remember, none of this has actually been announced by Hasbro – but it should be!).

Target Clearancing Hasbro Product Galore

We posted a lengthy rant last month expressing our recent frustration with Hasbro, and it seems like the folks at Target may feel the same way given their latest round of Hasbro markdowns.

It isn’t just Star Wars product either… it’s GI JOE and Transformers product too… and the trend here is that all the items are ones aimed at kids, and really aren’t of high quality… they are often gimmicks or Hasbro scaling back on quality.  So what does that mean with the upcoming Movie Heroes line?  Will they pegwarm like these have been doing since the moment they were first stocked?

Hopefully Hasbro has a much better plan in store for next year… share your thoughts here or in our forums.

Yakfinities #48 Continues

The current Yakfinities Customizing Challenge continues through the end of June, and if the Gotal custom shown above by forumite Peakob 1 is any indication, this has been one of the best ones yet!

Head on over to the forums to check out the latest entries – but be prepared, if you are upset by Hasbro’s handling of the Clone Wars line, some of these customs might break your heart!
