Yakfinities #89 has officially launched and runs through July 31! Head on over to the forums to check out the customs submitted so far, and while you’re at it, we’d love to invite you to roll up your sleeves for you to make your own custom Femme Fatale figure submission.

As a reminder, we will have three random winners that will receive a prize… plus a random special grand prize winner who will receive a Two Diorama Display Stands from THE ADVANTAGE.

What is this display system? The ADVANTAGE is a universal diorama system from SciFiDioramaGuythat is compatible with over 40 different action figures including Star Wars, G.I.Joe, Star Trek, Ninja Turtles, Marvel, DC, Masters of the Universe, ACID RAIN, Joy Toy, Indiana Jones & More!

Check out additional videos (and this great documentary on its creation) on YouTube and you can follow SciFidioramaguy on Facebook and Instagram.

A bit of poking around the last couple days has yielded a few 2027 code names/product listings seeming to indicate the return of the large format, carded Black Series figures for the 50th Anniversary of Star Wars. A bit too early to tell who they are exactly but if previous anniversary releases are any indication, there will surely be some reissues with some newness shuffled in (hopefully).

Prototype images have surfaced online via 5017Set for a rumored Black Series Captain Enoch Helmet from Ahsoka. I’d expect this to be released as a tie-in to the second season of the series debuting later this year.

There was conflicting information yesterday surrounding the Amazon exclusive Black Series Mission Vao & Carth Onasi Set. The Fanstream stated the preorder was coming at a later date but the press information stated May 4 at 1PM ET (coinciding with the other May 4th drops). I was able to confirm with Brandon from the Star Wars team that it is in fact available on Monday.

Add it to the pile I guess.
