One thing Hasbro has grossly neglected time and time again over the years is playsets/dioramas/environments for their action figure lines.

So in that light, our latest Yakfinities Customizing  Challenge theme is custom playsets/dioramas/environments!  This Yakfinities runs through the end of September, so there’s plenty of time to create and submit an entry.

No word yet on the features of the app but surely we’ll learn about that at SDCC.

UPDATE: The app is built by Bad Robot Interactive and will allow people to film their toys and add movie special effects. Thanks to @TheSuperJedi for the info.
