Yak’s Top Ten – TROS Results

Leave a comment

In June, we posted a new Yak’s Top Ten, for the finale in the Skywalker Saga: The Rise of Skywalker. And now, the results are in!

Think you know who the most requested figure is? I guessed wrong. As a hint, it was the same character in both scales… I was surprised! I think that chances are, you will guess wrong too!

Check out which figures Yakface readers said they want to see made the most in The Vintage Collection by clicking HERE.

We have tallies for the most wanted additions to The Black Series as well, check out the 6-inch scale results by clicking HERE.

Hasbro seems to be avoiding most sequel trilogy material right now… but, are any of these on Hasbro’s short list? Should they be? Share your thoughts here or in our forums!

Yakface Patreon Membership is Now Live

Leave a comment

Well, I’ve had a lot of requests to create a Patreon page for the site in recent weeks, and after some encouragement, I’ve decided to open one. First and foremost, thank you to all of the yakface.com followers (site and social media) for the kind words lately regarding keeping collectors up-to-date with the latest rumors and (disastrous) preorder launches. (It blows me away that corporations the size of Hasbro and Walmart can screw preorders up so badly and on so many levels.)

For the most part, the Patreon page will serve as a blog separate from the site with some more random thoughts but it will still include occasional previews of upcoming articles, rumors, announcements and more. Patreon members can also make content suggestions as well.

We’ll see how this goes as I do spend a lot of my free time hunting for unannounced product which I’m sure will interest you more than my ramblings anyway. Donate what you wantper month – there’s no tiered levels of content at this point.

Again, thank you for the kind words and an advanced thank you to those that donate/contribute to the page to support the site. MTFBWY.
