Now that some of us are starting to receive mighty Jabba’s Sail Barge, we’re curious what your first impressions are once having it in person! Are you blown away, or are you finding aspects you feel Hasbro should have done better on?
Forum member Lance Quazar has posted some nice pics and shared some observations for your viewing pleasure here. Check out the images, and share your own thoughts here or in the forums.
Personal Note: I’m reading from various buyers that the Ithorian corpse is not removable… that’s kind of a letdown. But overall most of what I’m reading is extremely positive, outside of some not-so-great experiences with boxes arriving damaged. I can’t wait to finally receive mine and get it all set up and hope we see several more offerings on par with this in the Star Wars 3.75″ line.
The current Yakfinities Customizing Challenge only has a few weeks left! Be sure to get your Concept Series entries in by the deadline of March 31.
Concept Series customs can be anything from figures based on Ralph McQuarrie concept artwork to something from you own imagination. What if Luke Skywalker had never gone into seclusion? Or if Leia had become a full fledged Jedi Knight? What if tauntauns could fly?
Check out the latest custom entries or submit your own after the jump!
If you have a Best Buy in your area, if may be worth your time to swing by and check out their toy/collector section. Quite a few various Star Wars items have been marked down (as well as other brands, such as Marvel). Good luck and as always your mileage may vary.
Yak’s Top Ten returns, with the theme switching over to something that until recently didn’t seem to be in Hasbro’s game plan… PLAYSETS! But of course, something has changed at Hasbro on this front (for the better).
What playsets do you want to see made in The Vintage Collection from? Post your TVC wish list HERE.
You can also do the same thing for the 6″ scale line in The Black Series. Post your 6″ TBS wish list 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.
Today we spotlight a fantastic custom AT-Hauler by forum member WhillsScholar – he even included instructions for you to make your own! Check it out after the jump!
As reported last week, the latest 6″ wave of TBS figures is hitting Target stores. In a rare stroke of good luck, I stumbled upon them in the St. Louis area as well this morning. Share your store reports here or in the forums after the jump!
Personal Note: The Mimban Han Solo is really one of the best looking figures I’ve seen Hasbro make in any scale – fingers crossed that it’s not too long before we see a TVC counterpart of such quality that is readily available to the market…
Yakface Forum member Chuckles has been on a roll lately with several custom figures to help populate Hasbro’s Sail Barge. Check out his excellent work after the jump!
A new installment in the adventures of Rykrof Enloe is coming to the Yakface Forums later this month. Check out the previews and sound off with your thoughts here or in the forums.
Thanks to some excellent Toy Fair photos courtesy of Justin LaSalata, we can do a little side by side shot of the upcoming Stormtrooper releases coming in The Vintage Collection (Han Solo and Rogue One version). Check them out after the jump!
