All the attention is around The Force Awakens, but we’d be remiss to not mention that there have been some great new fan-fiction stories being shared in the photonovel section of our forums recently .
Forum member CloneCrazy has recently shared the latest installment in his Will Of The Force series, and Jodo has also posted a new chapter in his Era of Darkness saga.
With great special effects, custom figures, dioramas and creative storytelling, both of these artists continue to up their game – check out their latest efforts and other fan stories in the Yakface Forums after the jump!
Funko POP! collectors may want to start hitting their local Barnes & Noble stores as their Exclusive Finn with Lightsaber figure has started to reach shelves.
Instagram follower “joblessmoth” sends word that he scored a set of the newest 6″ Black Series figures from his Walmart in North Carolina. This latest wave includes Jango Fett (Geonosis), First Order Flametrooper, Finn (FN-2187) and Han Solo.
New Year! New Show! We’re back after taking some time to bask briefly in the afterglow of The Force Awakens. With the holiday’s behind us and Toy Fair right around the corner, there is still much to be discussed in the collecting community from Hasbro, LEGO, Funko, Hot Toys and more. We also give a few parting thoughts on The Force Awakens as we prep ourselves for Rogue One in December. All this and more on Episode 85 of The Realm Recap.
There are only 11 days left to get in on the next Smuggler’s Bounty box from Funko. Each subscription box includes exclusive merchandise from The Force Awakens including T-shirts, POP! Vinyl Bobbleheads and more.
After an extended drought, some St. Louis are Wal-Mart stores have started receiving new TBS 3.75″ figures. Good luck on those toy runs and be sure to keep us posted on your finds.
While it was a nice surprise finding Wal-Marts latest wave of 3.75″ Black Series today, the excitement quickly turned to aggravation once opening Finn… I picked up two of this figure, and both had fused right elbow joints.
The first one snapped immediately – the second one I was able to save only through my experience with customizing. Hopefully this doesn’t turn out to be a widespread issue… but please share your experiences after the jump!
It appears that with the new year, Wal-Mart has increased the price of basic TFA figures by about a dollar each. This puts them closer in line with the likes of competing retailers; and after having a hard time keeping Star Wars figures in stock around the holidays, this price hike comes as little surprise. So be prepared to pay a little more for the “budget line” moving forward.
Happy New Year from all of us at Yakface.com. Thanks for your continued patronage as well your patience with the site. Look for some big changes in that regard in 2016. We hope to continue the type of coverage you’ve come to expect from us for many more years to come.
