Happy New Year / Return of the Forums

Leave a comment

From all of us here at Yakface.com, we would like to wish our readers a Happy New Year. 2023 was an interesting year for collecting, with many amazing Hasbro releases, product arriving earlier than expected in some cases, and lots of toys showing up at discount stores.

We look forward to what 2024 will bring with optimism, and hope that you will continue to follow us this year. With that in mind, we have also been working behind the scenes to bring the Yakface Forums back to life. With this came some housekeeping, so some older threads were victims of Order 66, but we hope our readers will enjoy the new features that we’ve been able to enable. And with this, Yakfinities Customizing Challenges will return in 2024, though things might look a little different this year (more to come on that). The Enloe Trials photonovel series will return as well.

Again, Happy New Year and we look forward to another trip around the sun with all of you.

SDCC 2023: Hasbro Vintage Collection Cassian Pipeline Reveal

Leave a comment
The VC 262 “Andor” head fits great on VC 130 Cassian (also released in TBS), no customizing necessary.

During the Hasbro Star Wars panel and follow up discussions, it was revealed that Hasbro plans for several “repacks/retools” in TVC, including the TBS/TVC Rogue One Cassian Andor figure again (but with the added touch of photo real deco).

Personal Note: If Hasbro has the need to put this figure out again, it may be better suited for a 3pk, and they can invest in new tooling in the other figures in the set, such as Baze Malbus and Ruescott Melshi. Or, are you happy with just swapping a VC262 Cassian head onto the older figure and would rather Hasbro avoid this figure altogether? What say you?

Next week, a more controversial repack topic… TFA Finn.

We have a few quick pics to share of Cassian and Vel – check them out, and as an added bonus for loose collectors, the Cassian head can easily be swapped out with his Rogue One figure with ease.

An Apology…

Leave a comment

This year has been tough for collectors with rising prices, order cancellations and the closure of some online retailers. Many of you have been negatively affected by several of our previous sponsors who went out of business this year, some of which were left with orders unfulfilled and more importantly monies unreturned. Our paid promotion and endorsement of those sites was in good faith and what may or may not have transpired between all affected customers and those sites was beyond our knowledge and control. I’m truly sorry if you are one of the affected.
