A Few New Customs…
I haven’t been able to customize all that much lately, but I did manage to throw a handulf of customs together recently and I thought it would be fun to share – check them out after the jump!
3.75″ Diorama Heaven
If you placed a 3.75″ space walls order with GTP-Toys, then be on the lookout as these are starting to show up on doorsteps this weekend!
The quality is amazing… and the drought of waiting for over TWO DECADES for something like this for our Star Wars action figures is finally over!
Head on over to the forums to check out a few pics I snapped with my phone today after putting together a quick setup, by clicking here!
Customizer Spotlight: Evilivo
Tonight we spotlight the amazing custom work of expert customizer Evilivo, who has perfected Hasbro’s 3.75″ K-2SO by giving it a major upgrade in articulation (not to mention an enhanced paint job).
Hopefully we’ll see something along these lines in the Spring with the return of The Vintage Collection… until then (or if Hasbro disappoints), check out the tutorial he created so you can make your own after the jump!
Yakfinities Continues…
Do you have customzing talent? Or a complete lack thereof? Either way, we invite you to join in our current customizing challenge in the Yakface Forums!
Any new custom figure from your imagination that falls under the loose banner of “Tribal Aliens” qualifies… so roll up your sleeves and throw a custom together in our latest Yakfinties right here!
Five Below Finds
The fact that Hasbro’s 5poa TFA figures are showing up at Five Below stores isn’t “new” information, but just how many of these figures never made it to primary retail outlets is amazing.
Hasbro just seems unable to get their product on a consistent distribution flow to big box retailers anymore – which of course that isn’t new information either!
But – if you are looking for some decent 5poa figures for about $5 each, and have a Five Below store in your area… well, you know the drill.
Era of Darkness Update
Yakface contributor Jodo has just released a new installment in his Era of Darkness photonovel series… click here to check it out!
Star Wars Girl Power
Reports are coming in that some retailers, such as Target are receiving solid cases of the 6″ 40th Anniversary Princess Leia figure, such as the image above provided by forum member dubsack. This also appears to be happening at some Toys”R”us stores.
Now, we’re not opposed to this great figure of our favorite princess being in good supply, but solid cases of anything in this scale at mass retail seems like it could cause problems, unless we’re talking Stormtroopers or Royal Guards (even that would be risky).
Thoughts? Let us know what you think in the forums!
Great 3.75″ Playset News!
The 20+ year drought for professionally made 3.75″ dioramas / playsets for our collections if finally coming to an end! GTP-Toys has approved their first production run of 3.75″ diorama walls – if you placed an order, keep an eye on your inbox over the coming weeks.
Not only that, but they also passed details along to us about some cool new 6″ product walls that are also going to be available soon. For all the new details we’ve received (including some cool production images), click here!
After that, head on over to their website to secure your order at Galactictradingpost.com!
