Yakfinities #55: Roundup Report
Our latest Yakfinities Customizing Challenge has wrapped up! We ended up with over 40 unique custom Bounty Hunters! Head on over to the forums for a fully gallery of the entries and see which random entries are walking away with and some Hasbro action figures as prizes.
Celebration Customizing Panel Update
As we previously reported, customizing master sillof (Jamie Follis) will be hosting a customizing panel at Star Wars Celebration on Friday, April 17th from 12pm-1pm. Some more details about the panel have been posted at his site.
This will be the second time that Jamie has headed up this event, and if you are going to be at C7, you ought to make an effort to attend. Work from some of the Yakface forum members you are familiar with will be featured in this panel, including some custom figure giveaways!
Which One’s the Smuggler?
Forum member Darth Vlad’s Clone has shared nearly a dozen pics for your viewing pleasure of the new 6″ Black Series Han Solo in Stormtrooper gear – all side by side with the standard Stormtrooper. Check out the pics, and let’s hear your thoughts in the forums!
Personal Note: I’ll always be a 3.75″ scale collector, and want Hasbro to mostly focus on that line, but the more OT figures they make in this scale, the more I’m caving in and liking them.
Off Topic – Jurassic World Toys at TRU
Hasbro’s new Jurassic World line has been spotted at Toys”R”us, apparently breaking a “street date” of May 11. Head on over to the forums for a closer look at some of the toys they had already put out – and share your thoughts on Hasbro’s performance with these dinosaurs in the forums!
Upcoming Black Series Carded Shots
VolkerC has posted some more carded images of upcoming 3.75″ and 6″ scale figures from The Black Series via starwars-figuren.com. Check them out, and share your thoughts in our forums.
UPDATE: You can check out unwatermarked versions at DorksideToys Facebook page.
When Toy Runs are Depressing… Customize!
Retail toy runs have been quite depressing for some time now for a lot of us, but with some spare parts, a touch of paint and a bit of effort, I always find that customizing can add a lot of magic back into the hobby.
Head on over to the forums for a closer look at a handful of oddball droids I just put together, and if you are interested in starting customizing or have work of your own to share, be sure to start a thread of your own in our customizing section.
SAGA Legends Price Hikes at TRU
Toys”R”us stores are starting to jack up the price on the single Legends figures. While other retailers have kept these in the $6 range, Toys”R”us apparently thinks they can get quite a bit more. The price is pretty outrageous, in my opinion, especially since this line is supposed to be more economical for the kids (so we’re told).
Head to the forums to see what these will probably ring up for at the register if you decide to purchase any of these at your local Toys”R”us, and share your thoughts!
Yakfinities: Entry Submission Deadline Approaching
Our current Yakfinities Customizing Challenge – Bounty Hunters – is nearing a close! If you’re working on an entry (or need to still start), be sure to get your entry submitted by March 31!
If TFA is 5POA, will you still play?
There’s rumblings among fans (though nothing is confirmed, so don’t freak out yet) that Hasbro may be abandoning the quality of figures so many of us have grown to know and love over the years in favor of a 5POA-only line for the upcoming Episode VII 3.75″ scale line.
If Hasbro did go this route, how would this affect your buying habits? Would you be pleased? Freaked out? Done altogether? Would you even care? Share your thoughts here or join in the debate in our forums!
