Yakfinities #50 – The Original Trilogy
Our first customizing challenge here at Yakface began as a bit of an experiment back in August of 2006 – and here we are now, seven years later, and have hit a bit of a milestone – the 50th Yakfinities Customizing Challenge has begun!
The rules are simple… create any sort of new custom that is inspired by the Original Trilogy… it can be that certain cantina alien that Hasbro just won’t pull the trigger on, an ultimate Luke Skywalker, something “off screen,” or whatever – the choice is yours.
But this time, rather than the usual random winners, we will also be selecting a Grand Prize winner… which will receive the upcoming Amazon exclusive Droid Factory wave of figures.
Head on over to the forums for all the details after the jump!
