Five Below Continues to Stock Vintage

fivebelowagainDo you have a Five Below store in your area?  If so, it may be worth your while to swing by your local establishment and see if they are receiving TVC figures these days – the local store I’ve hit in the St. Louis area received a heavy shipment of the Malgus/Imperial Navy Commander wave about three weeks ago, and restocked again over this past weekend.

The only problem is, each case contains seven Episode One carry forwards from Wave 1 (unless, of course, you need an infinite army of Qui Gons and Obi Wans!).

UPDATE – Yakface reader Chris H., who is an assistant manager at Five Below, tells us that the stores do not have the power to order these on their own.  These cases are distributed throughout the company by how much sells at that particular store.

Work is underway for the next installment of The Enloe Trials photonovel series as Rykrof Enloe leads a strike force to recover an ancient Sith artifact on the hostile world, Dathomir.

Over the coming weeks we will have some previews and behind the scenes custom updates for the next chapter — until then, be sure to catch up with Chapter 3:  Revelations.

Space Station Diorama Walls: Goal Met!

For those hoping to be able to construct your own diorama backgrounds for your action figures, we have some great news as the kickstarter campaign has already reached the fundraising goal!

Yakface.com has no official affiliation with this campaign, but we are happy to help promote this getting off the ground for Star Wars fans who have been begging for items like this to be made for years on end.  We also know that several of our forum members stepped up to the plate and showed their support with their contributions.  Thank you to everyone (especially the Galactic Merchants team) for getting this ball rolling.

We hope that this is just the beginning of a larger world for collectors and kids alike as these dioramas may be part of making this hobby as fun as it once was.

3.75″ Scale Dioramas: UPDATE!

Last week, we learned that the time may finally be approaching where Star Wars fans worldwide can FINALLY purchase diorama sets to display our 3.75″ scale figures… and now the kickstarter campaign is LIVE!

If this campaign is successful and this project becomes reality, it will mean that Star Wars fans the world over will finally be able to proudly display their collections in the way that they have long wanted.

We are hoping that our readers will support this – and if you’d like to be able to help make this happen, click here for more details.

Star Wars Figure Display and Diorama Project

For well over a decade, Star Wars collectors and kids alike have wanted Hasbro to make some sort of action figure display units (or even playsets) in the 3.75″ scale, but our pleas always fall on deaf ears.

But now the market might finally have a chance in the future to be able to spend our dollars on such items (and no, it ain’t through Hasbro).  Head on over to the forums for more details.
