Remember when the Legends lines were fun and Hasbro found a way to appeal to both collectors and kids? When we actually looked forward to walking into the toy aisle?
Collector frustration continues to rise, so we’re going to start throwing some new ideas toward Hasbro in the forums, and we’re starting things off with a bit of a rant with how they’ve handled Movie Heroes so far this year and how it could have been handled better.
Sound off in the forums with your thoughts, and even your own ideas after the jump!
We are only a few days away from Toy Fair 2012 and as we prep to bring you on-site coverage again this year – myself included YIPPEE! – we would like to pass on any burning questions or concerns you may have to the Hasbro team. Feel free to post them in the comment section here, in our forums or on our facebook page and we will do our best to get a few of them answered.
The Enloe Chronicles photonovel series concluded over one year ago, but as promised, the adventures of Rykrof Enloe will continue into the era of the Galactic Empire!
Head on over to the forums for a progress update on The Enloe Trials by clicking on the previews above!
Yakface is proud to announce a tribute to a friend of the community who passed away last summer – a multi-site customizing contest that was in the works by a collector know around the forums as MercuryArtStudios. We were shocked and saddened last summer when he tragically lost his life in a car accident.
Mike Martinez left behind a great following in the customizing community and touched a lot of people. In his memory, we wanted to see through an Evolution style themed customizing contest that he had been planning – so we have teamed up with two other sites to make this happen. We are proud to have teamed up with Echo Base News and Imperial Shipyards to host this customizing event.
To help encourage particpation, we’ve also gathered a great pool of prizes – for more information and rules of entry, click here!
Tonight we spotlight the collection of Yakface forum member Ootini – check out his vast collection and amazing custom cabinets used to display his hobby after the jump!
Happy New Year to all our readers and we hope you have a great 2012. Thanks for all of your feedback here at our site, through our forums and on Facebook and Twitter.
Yakface forum member AaylaSecurasMan was able to score some of the 2012 TVC figures already at his local Target, and has shared some loose images for everyone’s viewing pleasure. Check them out by clicking here.
On a side note, how crazy is it that these are already hitting at Target, while online stores don’t even have them listed yet?
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone from Yakface.com. We hope you have a safe and joyful holiday with your families. Be sure to check back tomorrow morning for a special shadow err… BLACK Friday Giveaway/Challenge : )
