StarWars.com’s official Instagram page has revealed (via Tom Kane, the voice of Yoda in the Clone Wars) the all-new 6″ Black Series Yoda!
With the recent reveal of merchandise from Hasbro, we’ve officially opened the Star Wars Rebels section of the Toyguide. Give it a look for some of the items coming to the Saga Legends, Mission Series and Vehicle assortments starting this fall. Spoiler warnings apply if you are looking to remain in the dark on character names and such.
Our friends at Sandtroopers.com (courtesy of Dan Curto) have posted a great set of sneak preview images for the upcoming Saga Legends and Mission Series assortments. Some of these were announced back at Toy Fair but others are all new revelations. Head on over for the high res images (Spoiler Warnings Apply).
If you’re active in the Yakface customizing forums, you have more than likely been keeping up on the great work of our forum members – but if not, this post is for you, because it means you’re missing out on some great eye candy!
So without further delay, customizer darthcrassus has been very active with new updates lately, including a fantastic take on Jariah Syn, which you can take a closer look at here.
Next, wraith_nineyak continues to expand his Clone Wars line of clone troopers… if you’re a fan of the animated styling, you will certainly want to check out his latest updates!
We are also treated to a great Clone Wars take on Chancellor Palpatine, courtesy of Elias – which is even more impressive considering he is only 10 years old (great sign of things to come for many years!).
Finally, we also show a great take on a non-Star Wars custom… it’s a Lord of the Rings Ringwraith in the 3.75″ scale from Evilivo!
Toys”R”Us has launched a huge sale this week on all Star Wars product ranging from The Black Series to LEGO. Head to your local store to take advantage of savings up to 30%. (Some exclusions apply.)
The fan community was recently exposed to Hasbro’s upcoming Rebels line, which has been met with mixed results as so many of us prefer good articulation and more detailed sculpts with the Star Wars lines rather than what Hasbro revealed.
Soon after, we teamed up with Imperialshipyards.net to host a customizing event where fans can make their own Rebels themed customs and have a chance to win some cool prizes. While the number of entries has been somewhat modest thus far, the quality has been fantastic.
To check out the latest entries, click here – and remember, entries will be accepted until the end of April.
Our friends at YodasNews have posted new carded and loose images for The Black Series (3-3/4″) line. Head on over to check out high-res shots of Darth Vader (Episode III), Ree Yees and Wedge Antilles (Snowspeeder Pilot)
Our current Customizing Challenge is starting to kick into high gear as customizers across the fan community have created some amazing custom figures already in honor of Jabba the Hutt’s Entourage! Check out the latest submissions, or roll up your sleeves and create your own entry and show off your skills after the jump!
If you have a Kmart in your area, you may want to head there quick to see if they have any Scanning Crew sets yet – as stores have dropped the price down to $10 per set through 4/19! Be aware though that it’s unconfirmed if this is a national sale or not.
Of note, their clearance toys are an additional 50% off through 4/19 – there are some great buys to be had, mostly non-Star Wars items; but the 31″ Vader is currently marked down for a very low price too.
