The collecting community has stepped up to the plate with a huge outpouring of support for the team at Galactic Merchants as they aspire to make cool diorama display pieces for the fans. And now, our pals at Imperialshipyards are going to be hosting a podcast with Galactic Merchants, and they want to know what questions you have about these dioramas! Head on over to their forums and submit your questions!
We assume most of our readers by now are aware of the Space Station Display Project that’s underway, but in case you haven’t noticed, this is shaping up to be one hell of a dream come true for collectors. For more details, click here or join the drool-fest in our forums!
If you enjoy amazing dioramas (and what collector doesn’t?), forum member localgotal has posted a plethora of amazing images in our forums. Check them out and prepare to drool after the jump!
For those hoping to be able to construct your own diorama backgrounds for your action figures, we have some great news as the kickstarter campaign has already reached the fundraising goal!
Yakface.com has no official affiliation with this campaign, but we are happy to help promote this getting off the ground for Star Wars fans who have been begging for items like this to be made for years on end. We also know that several of our forum members stepped up to the plate and showed their support with their contributions. Thank you to everyone (especially the Galactic Merchants team) for getting this ball rolling.
We hope that this is just the beginning of a larger world for collectors and kids alike as these dioramas may be part of making this hobby as fun as it once was.
Last week, we learned that the time may finally be approaching where Star Wars fans worldwide can FINALLY purchase diorama sets to display our 3.75″ scale figures… and now the kickstarter campaign is LIVE!
If this campaign is successful and this project becomes reality, it will mean that Star Wars fans the world over will finally be able to proudly display their collections in the way that they have long wanted.
We are hoping that our readers will support this – and if you’d like to be able to help make this happen, click here for more details.

For well over a decade, Star Wars collectors and kids alike have wanted Hasbro to make some sort of action figure display units (or even playsets) in the 3.75″ scale, but our pleas always fall on deaf ears.
But now the market might finally have a chance in the future to be able to spend our dollars on such items (and no, it ain’t through Hasbro). Head on over to the forums for more details.
