YAK’S TOP TEN: EXPANDED UNIVERSE
Yak’s Top Ten is back for another round, taking us into another realm!
What figures do you want to see made in The Vintage Collection from the Expanded Universe? Post your TVC wishlist HERE.
You can also do the same thing for the 6″ scale line in The Black Series. Post your 6″ TBS wishlist right HERE.
Note: Wish lists may also be posted in the comments section of this article. You may post both a TVC and TBS list, but please do not post your wish lists in this comments section AND in the forums. And please indicate if you’re referring to TVC or TBS with each list.
Also, we’re keeping Expanded Universe (or Legends if you want to call it that) pretty open to any time period, and not being strict here on what you want to define this as – but the trend in the forums seems to be “pre-Disney” genre, such as KOTOR, Shadows of the Empire, Thrawn Trilogy, The Force unleashed, etc.
Yakfinities #70: DROIDS
A new Yakfinities Customizing Challenge is currently underway, and the theme is DROIDS.
So, roll up your sleeves and cobble together a droid of your own… or better yet, let’s see what kind of painting skills you’ve got too! Or if that’s not your cup of tea, you can still check out the most recent entries by clicking here.
Personal Note: The roundup report for Yakfinities #69 is coming soon – with over 150 custom entries, it’s taking longer than usual – apologies for the delay!

Rumor Report: Star Wars “Story In A Box” Update
Right before NYCC, we posted a report about an upcoming $10 assortment of Hasbro figures referred to as Star Wars: Story in a Box*. The first four figures include Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca and R2-D2. After some further investigating, I’ve found there are four more of these sets (probably wave 2) that includes Princess Leia, Han Solo, Stormtrooper and Yoda. Watch for additional details on this product line soon.
As with all of our advanced rumor reports, details of these products are subject to change and/or cancellation altogether.
