A New Yakfinities Customzing Challenge kicks off on January, but before that begins, we need YOU, the Yakface reader, to help determine the theme. So head on over to our forums and cast your vote.
Note: Many of the categories are Episode 7 themed, so if you haven’t seen the movie yet, mild spoilers apply.
Disney Store has also added the newest Vinylmation series featuring characters from The Force Awakens.
DisneyStore.com has updated tonight revealing 3 new Elite Series Die Cast figures for The Force Awakens: Kylo Ren (Unmasked), Poe Dameron and Rey with BB-8 – spoiler warnings apply if you haven’t seen the film.
Now that Star Wars: The Force Awakens has officially been released, we’d love to hear the thoughts of those who have seen it in our forums.
Warning: Spoilers are allowed. So stay back if you are trying to avoid them.
With Episode 7’s release almost here, there’s no doubt that many kids are going to NOT be able to receive a Captain Phasma figure for Christmas due the relative scarcity of this Hasbro figure.
However, she’s also showing up in the new “Armor Up” wave which is now being found at Toys”R”us stores, so be on the lookout if you’re still hoping to get this figure in time as a gift ($14.99 though, yikes!).
Two more days until the official release of The Force Awakens and with that, Sideshow has revealed their Premium Format Kylo Ren figure. Look for preorders in early 2016.
Tomorrow night, many of us will be seeing the highly anticipated new film, but what’s the retail situation looking like with only about a week before Christmas?
Our focus on this post is really around what’s on the pegs at Wal-Mart, due to their exclusive rights to the 3.75″ Black Series line that most collectors (and yes, even many KIDS) want to get their hands on… we’re seeing reports come in across the continental U.S. that even Wave 3 is showing up in some areas, but sadly, it appears that some Wal-Mart stores have declined to carry this line past the initial wave… even removing space for the figures.
What’s the scoop in your area? Share your experiences (good and bad) after the jump!
