Customizer Mega Spotlight

1 Comment

spotlight3.06.15

Yakface forum members continue to up their game as customizers – and our latest spotlight showcases some familiar names and a relative newcomer to the customizing scene.

First up, my kind of scum continues his recent customizing blitz with a great set of Tonnika sisters, which you can see a full shot of here, along with a plethora of other great recent updates.

Next, forumite CommanderJoe276 shows off his very first customs, which are some excellent 501st style Clone Wars troopers.

Finally, we get some more OT goodness from Evilivo, who has created an upgraded version of Max Rebo’s organ, a revamped version of Salicious Crumb, and more.

Check these great customs out in our customizing forums and share your thoughts!  And if you’re customizing and not sharing your work in our forums, we’d love to see your stuff!

One of the best things about customizing is recognizing the many different techniques and approaches to creating custom figures.  Case in point, recently we’ve seen two very different approaches to creating a Trandoshan – head to the forums for a closer look.

Also, our current Yakfinities Customizing Challenge continues through the end of March – and the theme is Bounty Hunters – so if you’re a customizer, what are you waiting for?  Create a custom and join in the fun… over 40 customs have already been created this round, and we hope to see many more!  And remember, we give away prizes at the end.
