Happy Halloween!

We would like to wish all of our readers a very safe and happy October 31st today! 

This chapter was completed in September, but in the spirit of the season, an army of undead Stormtroopers and other creatures await you in the forums in Chapter IV of The Enloe Trials photonovel series. 

Take a few minutes to kick back and enjoy the latest installment of this series as Rykrof Enloe and a small band of rebels struggle to fend off their flesh eating enemies; and stay tuned for previews of the next chapter in the coming weeks.

Customizer Mega Spotlight

After a crazy week at work, it’s nice to kick back and enjoy some of the great customs by our forum members.

Leading things off, darthcrassus shows off his custom of Nomi Sunrider; you can see this and many more of his customs here.

If you’re a fan of furballs, then check out some cool new Ewok customs by forum member darthapathy too.

We’ve also got a huge update from forum newcomer nighthawk, who reminds us just how much fun clone customs can still be.

Last but not least, wraithnine shows off his latest astromech customs as well!

Five Below Finds Continue

These figures may not be to everyone’s liking, but last year’s second wave of Movie Heroes had some really nicely sculpted figures with very acceptable articulation and they are showing up at Five Below locations, for the wonderful price of $5.00 per figure.

Personal Note:  I can’t help but wonder if 2012 would have shaken out different if Hasbro had put this sort of effort into the Movie Heroes line at the 2012 launch; and supplemented the line with better figures for repacks rather than the direction they took.  If Hasbro had put more effort into the kid line for 2012, and Movie Heroes had not crashed and burned, would we even be seeing 5POA figures at all?
