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.
Customizer Spotlight: DarthDaddy
Today we highlight the great work of customizer DarthDaddy, who presents a great trio of ANH customs that we hope Hasbro turns some attention to soon. Check out full size images of these customs after the jump!
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.
Customizer Spotlight: OGTrilogy
Diorama master OGTrilogy is back at it again, this time with a very memorable scene from Return of the Jedi.
Check out his latest creation after the jump!
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.
More Hasbro Product Landing at TJ Maxx
While on a toy run today, I swung by TJ Maxx… and stumbled onto a ton (and I mean a ton) of 2012-2013 Star Wars Hasbro product. Deluxe size vehicles, Angry Birds, Fighter Pods, Role Playing blasters, etc… and these are all items that Hasbro really thought would appeal to kids this past year.
In my humble opinion, this is just another sign that Hasbro has lost touch with their consumer base. I am hoping for a really strong showing at SDCC from the folks at Hasbro, because Hasbro, retailers and the fan base does not need another 2012 (or another first half of 2013).
Customizer Mega Spotlight
This afternoon we highlight some more of the custom figures submitted by readers in our forums.
First up, forum member babylon shares some great Cantina alien customs that we’re still waiting on Hasbro to make. Check them out here!
The always awesome jedistyle has also updated his customizing thread, this time with some new Mandalorians.
Evilivo emerges onto the scene as well, with some absolutely stunning custom figures like the above pictured C-3PO.
Bringing up the rear are some new customs that will appear in The Enloe Trials photonovel series as well.
The Enloe Trials: New Previews
Production work has begun on the next installment in The Enloe Trials photonovel series. Previews can be found here, and if you need to catch up on the most recent chapter, head on over to the forums.
Five Below Strikes Back!
Just as we’re getting geared up for The Black Series figures to start hitting, Five Below now comes through like they did so many times in 2012… this time, with the Darth Malgus wave!
There’s some great figures in this wave, but as we all know, also a ton of TPM figures that Hasbro unfortunately decided they needed to pack into the first three assortments of TVC last year, which crushed distribution for anything past the first few assortments of TVC in 2012.
Anyways – be on the lookout for these if you have a Five Below store in your area and hopefully this means that more waves past this one are on the way!
