The Enloe Trials: 2012 Roundup

This past year saw a return to the photonovel realm for Rykrof Enloe, with The Enloe Trials photonovel series.  I really didn’t think after taking a year off from these things that I’d find it in myself to come back, but thanks to a lot of encouragement from our forum members, I decided to launch a new series for Rykrof propelling him toward the events of the Original Trilogy.

Things kicked off back in February with The Baron’s Crusade; the prologue to this new series.  In it, Imperial Baron Tylin Gere has begun a personal quest to acquire an ancient Sith artifact, and will stop at nothing to acquire it.

Soon after, Emperor Palpatine informs Darth Vader of the rogue actions of Tylin Gere in Seeds of Insurrection.   Meanwhile, former Jedi Master Kala Mly Shundi contacts Rykrof Enloe on Urelia in an attempt to persuade Rykrof to join a small but growing rebellion against the Empire.

It isn’t long before Imperial troops arrive at Rykrof’s home, sent by none other than Tylin Gere.  In this chapter, Atrocity, Rykrof loses his father, and is forced to work for Tylin if he ever wants to see his wife or son alive again.

Thank you to everyone who has helped support this series (you know who you are), as the photonovel craze from several years ago has died down significantly across the Star Wars boards everywhere.  But in 2013, more exiting adventures are in store for Rykrof Enloe — so stay tuned for more action as the year progresses!

I’d also like to throw a shout out to our friends at Jeditemplearchives for their support too!

Toyguide Update: MTT Droid Fighter

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the Class I MTT Droid Fighter from the 2013 Yoda line look.

PROS: Originally designed as a pack-in, Hasbro instead worked this into the Class I line as a separate companion piece to the MTT. The design and interactivity of the fighter itself is fun with its configurable wings and weapons and with the 2 included figures, it makes for an instant “battle pack” for kids and collectors.

CONS: If you’re a stickler for articulated figures, this set probably doesn’t seem like much of an offering at a price north of $20.

Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this set is worth adding to your collection.

You can also weigh in with your impressions on the figures we add to our toyguide on facebook and in our forums.
