Our current Yakfinities Customizing Challenge goes through June 30, but it’s time to start thinking about ideas for the next one, which kicks off in July! After over 50 of these customizing events, we could always use some fresh ideas, so be sure to share your suggestions in our comments section or in the forums!
Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives are reporting that the new Black Series Stormtrooper (found at Toys”R”us) features some different parts than the most recent mold, including a new helmet. Is this a leap forward, or a step back?
Head on over for the thoughts of our friend Paul Harrison, and feel free to discuss in our forums.
The adventures of Rykrof Enloe return to the Yakface Forums today, as the former Clone Wars hero finds himself mixed up in his first major battle of the Galactic Civil War. Head on over to the forums for the full chapter; The 8th Trial: Catastrophe after the jump!
After listing some upcoming 3.75″ scale Black Series figures for $9.99 last week, Hasbrotoyshop.com has bumped up the price by three bucks. Special thanks to forum member darth_sidious for this information.
Personal Note: As for myself, I was on the fence with Chewbacca and Dutch at $9.99, but a $12.99 price tag turns me into not wanting those particular figures in the least. And definitely not the Vader. All of these are basically retreads or are using mostly existing parts, and for that much money, Hasbro needs to do better. Disagree? Share your thoughts after the jump!
Slowly but surely, Hasbro’s Imperial Troop Transport is making its way into Toys”R”us stores. Has it shown up in your area yet? Share your reports after the jump!
Once again we stop to take look at more great custom figures being made by various members of our forum community!
First up, I-am-Boba-Fett has created a fantastic female Mandalorian that you won’t want to miss – check out several images of this awesome figure here.
Next, forum member Customjedi shares a fan-fic custom of Major Kem Monnon, who was the chief of the Rebel Alliance Corps of Engineers as part of his ESB prequel story.
We also welcome RTripp to the forums, who shares a Darth Sidious repaint, as well as several more custom figures.
Last but not least, we are treated to another masterpiece by Evilivo, as he shows off images of his fantastic take on Luke Skywalker in Stormtrooper disguise.
A new installment in The Enloe Trials photonovel series is almost here! For a sneak peek at some full size images, head on over to the forums!
Tonight we highlight some more of the great custom works of several of our forum members!
First up, Evilivo continues to inspire with a great repaint of the recent Mission Series Yoda. What he’s done here really brings this figure to life.
Next, my kind of scum shows off another batch of his custom figures, including one using several non-Star Wars parts to create a spectacular alien. I don’t know what the heck this thing is, but it’s awesome!
We’ve also got some really cool new droids that you’ll want to see by Jawaking, who has been on one heck of a role lately with his customs.
Last but not least, forum newcomer AjuntaPall has posted a ton of custom figures for your viewing pleasure – check out his latest updates here.
Volkerc has posted another batch of Hasbro goodies at starwars-figuren.com, which really show that the last SA figures before the new launch this Fall have gotten back to the awesome TVC quality of figures that Hasbro is capable of.
If the quality is this good, perhaps the new asking price of $12.99 at most places may be worth it. Check them out by clicking on the image above, and share your thoughts in our forums.
It’s time to crack open some custom fodder, as a new Yakfinities Customizing Challenge has just kicked off in our forums – Rebel Militia! For all the details, click here!
