Concept Series Returns
Today we get a fun treat from Yakface contributor and forum moderator localgotal – the return of the Yakface Concept Series (with some great eye candy for some new “what if” figures).
With Hasbro seeking fan input, now is the time to get back in the swing of idea sharing, concept art, etc. for the highly anticipated return of The Vintage Collection!
Share your ideas here, in our Concept Series Section, and across the collecting community.
Sail Barge Stalling
Hasbro’s crowd funded Sail Barge endeavor could be in trouble as the pace of new backers has stalled significantly over the past week.
Is now the time to panic? Or is that a bit premature since there’s still 4 weeks left? Are you planning on fronting payment for one? Let us know here or in our forums.
Note: You can check out some other cool Star Wars inspired famous painting alterations here. Then after that, Hasbro would like for you to bow before the mighty Jabba the Hutt and fund his pleasure cruiser at HasLab.
ToyMan Show Returns
The St. Louis ToyMan Show returns this this Sunday, March 11.
With over 200 dealer tables, you never know what vintage or new Star Wars, GI Joe, Transformers or He-Man items you might find, and often at great prices!
You may even run into yours truly and a few of our forum members!

Since Hasbro Wants Ideas
As you are probably aware, Hasbro’s asking collectors like you for input on figures to fill upcoming waves in the comeback of The Vintage Collection.
So, we thought now would be a great time to remind our readers of some of the amazing concepts for new figures using a combination of new and existing molds that were posted in our forums by different fans, most notably, Yakface Forum moderator localgotal.
So, for inspiration, check out some of the great concepts that were posted HERE, and be sure to be sure to make your voice heard on the Hasbro Pulse Instagram page, and stay tuned as new questions are posed to the collecting community.
Note: Above figures are a sample of concepts posted in our forums.
Custom Playsets for Sale
Custom playset master EMPIRE has posted some awesome new 3.75″ custom playsets that can be purchased by clicking here.
Personal Note: I’ve purchased a number of items from him over the past few years and have always been amazed by the quality and durability. If you have been on the fence about these, I am confident that you won’t be disappointed if you add some of these items to your collection!
Rogue One Tank: TVC Style
Hasbro’s Steve Evans has revealed the upcoming Imperial Combat Assault Tank in all its glory! Look for it on shelf Fall 2018. Check out his Instagram page by clicking on the image above, and share your thoughts on what looks to be a true gem after the jump!
It was fun while it lasted…
If your Walmart is still selling TBS 3.75″ figures for $4.00 and you’ve been sitting on the sidelines, you may want to make those purchases soon as some stores are already raising the price back up to the “already reduced” price of $8.84.
Have you scored some goodies for the $4.00 price? Are you still seeing the lower price in your area? Share your experiences after the jump!
Off Topic: Mattel’s Jurassic World Line
Entertainment Weekly has revealed a huge set of images of Mattel’s upcoming Jurassic World line. Check out the reveals by clicking on the above image.
How does this lineup compare to Hasbro’s attempt from 2015 at bringing everyone’s favorite island of prehistoric creatures back to life? Share your personal take on how these two competing companies approached this toy line after the jump!
Future TVC Repacks…?
For better or worse, Hasbro is going to be supplementing the upcoming TVC line with repacks.
But, this could be a good thing if Hasbro is selective about it and picks great figures where demand still exists. That way carded collectors get their TVC fix, while openers get another shot at certain figures too.
Which figures are good candidates for a repack onto a TVC cardback in your eyes? Share your thoughts after the jump!
