Rebels Stormtrooper Up Close

Yakface forum member Trooper31 was able to score the new Rebels Series Stormtrooper, which looks to have a pretty nice paint job, but appears to be suffering from inconsistent plastic coloring.

For those of you planning to collect this line, how will a possible army of half white/half yellow-armored Stormtroopers affect your army-building approach?  Head to the forums for a closer look and to share your thoughts.

The Enloe Trials Update

It’s been a while since the last chapter was released in The Enloe Trials photonovel series, but that’s the way it goes when trying to make new customs and dioramas for each chapter (and trying to shuffle priorities of work and being a parent).  So what’s a guy to do when he doesn’t have time to make all the sets on his own?  Create a few concepts, and find someone who is able to build some of the sets for you!

So, thanks to the efforts of Yakface forum member EMPIRE, another installment in the series will be happening faster than I anticipated.  You’ve probably by now seen some of his amazing work here in our forums.  I’m sure he’ll be posting more updates of his fantastic custom playsets before too long, but for the time being head on over and take a quick look at what he’s working on for me behind the scenes by clicking here.

Toys”R”us Wave 4 Sightings

With the new Toys”R”us reset, obviously most of us are hoping this means better things for the collector lineup’s distribution.  Today I came across some Wave 4 figures for the first time at a Toys”R”us; which was a sight for sore eyes.

Now is the time to start getting back to the hunt, but as always these days, your chances of success on toy runs are not what they used to be… but perhaps things may be back on the upswing?

Rebels Inquisitor’s TIE Advanced Prototype Loose In-Hand Pics

Forum member Grimace has shared several pics of Hasbro’s new Inquisitor’s TIE Advanced Prototype in the forums.  It looks to me like Hasbro has hit another home run here, meaning all three of the new Rebels mid-size vehicles surpass most of Hasbro’s other recent efforts.  Head on over to the forums for a closer look, and to share your thoughts.

For all you diorama fans, forum member Raylen has just revealed a special sneak peek at a new 3.75″ scale item I am guessing many of you are going to want to add to your collections.  Soon, he will have them available for order at his site.

For now, head on over the forums and for a glimpse at what’s to come…

Personal Note:  Shut up and take my money!
