Customizer Mega Spotlight

Leave a comment

We love the customizing community that shares their work in our forums and it’s time for a long overdue spotlight.

First up,  forum member RookieOne kicks things off with several custom figures from the Rebel Alliance, including quite a few from Rogue One.  Check those out here!

Next, johnmorog shows off a great custom Mud Trooper – while you’re waiting for Hasbro to get around to this figure, check out how he made his (including WIP pics) in his customizing thread.

Last but certainly not least, customizer nighthawk continues to pump out customs in both 3.75″ and 6″ scale, with some real gems that add some much needed articulation to Hasbro’s  5poa line.

Spoiler Warning – We hold nothing back on any Star Wars movie, book, or show.

Star Wars fans were used to delayed gratification. Under George Lucas the pattern was one movie every three years. It took 27 years for the first six films to complete.  Now, though, it’s a much different time as Solo–the fourth Star Wars film in under three years–came out. But can there be too much of a good thing?

The Star Wars Action News crew is back! Join Marjorie, Justin, Chris, Andrew, Jerry, and Arnie for this SPOILER FILLED discussion of Solo and Star Wars movies in general!

Listen to this review, then head to Now Playing Podcast to hear Arnie, Jakob, and Stuart’s in-depth analysis of the film!
