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.
Because this is a Democracy…
The next Yakfinities Customizing Challenge is right around the corner and this is your chance to make your voice heard – if you’re registered in our forums, cast your vote and help decide what the next customizing theme in the Yakface forums will be!
The Enloe Trials Chapter III: Revelations

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!
Customizer Spotlight: I-am-Boba-Fett
Forum member I-am-Boba-Fett has been on fire lately with custom updates – ranging from classic customs from A New Hope to several obscure Expanded Universe characters. Head on over to the forums and check out his latest work!
You think your toy runs are frustrating…
Just yesterday, I came across a rare sight – a TVC Darth Malgus at my local Target. After posting this recent find in our forums, Yakface reader Darth Bobo shared a Malgus find as well… but not exactly what he was hoping for. Head on over to the forums for a closer look.
Personal Note – In this instance, the swapper put in a pretty decent B.A.D. figure in the Sith Lord’s stead (perhaps out of some sort of sense of guilt?), but figure swapping isn’t acceptable, regardless of what figure is replaced in the packaging.
Update: Black Series Limited Availability?
Fans have already been skeptical about the upcoming Black Series due to the uninspired assortment of figures we’ve seen so far.
And now, our friends at Jedi Temple Archives are reporting some potentially disturbing news with the future of the Black Series. Nothing is confirmed yet, but it appears that retail-wise, Hasbro may only be distributing these figures to North America. Click here to read what they have uncovered. We are keeping our fingers crossed for our overseas friends that this is not the case.
EDIT: Enhance your calm everyone. Preview (Diamand Comic) will only be selling these to their existing accounts that reside US/Canada. Any other accounts will have to find other means of order fullfillment for these lines. – Jayson
