We recently posted a wishlist for SDCC reveals in our forums, and now forum member localgotal has added some outstanding mock-ups for some Cinema Scenes that would sell like hotcakes if Hasbro would just make them like the pics he has shown. Check them out after the jump (but remember, none of this has actually been announced by Hasbro – but it should be!).
Forum member CloneCrazy has added another installment to his eye popping photonovel series, The Shroud of Darkness.
If you haven’t caught up to the first chapter yet, you can do so by clicking here. After that, be sure to check out the second installment too, which features an outstanding battle scene as Anakin Skywalker must protect his new bride from terrorists hired by none other than the Viceroy of the Trade Federation!
I must say, all these great new photonovels in the forums recently is starting to make it feel like 2007 all over again!
Customizers have until 11:59pm CST June 30 to submit an entry for Yakfinities #48 – The Clone Wars. Entries can be realistic or animated style for this, and should be in the spirit of the Clone Wars theme.
Head on over to the forums to submit your entry, or to enjoy the most recent entries by clicking here.
Forum member jedimasteradi recently took the photonovel section of the Yakface forums by storm when he launched the first chapter in his new photonovel series, The Adventures of Jarred Yunis.
He has already followed up with Chapter 2 and Chapter 3. Each of these are a fun read and I think any Star Wars fan who enjoys customizing or the art of storytelling will enjoy them. Head on over to the forums and enjoy this great new series after the jump!
Toy runs for most us aren’t what they used to be these days, but Yakface forum moderator Paulskywalker came across a fantastic score at his local TK Maxx store in the UK just yesterday… can you guess what it is by the image above? If not, head to the forums and see more…
Hint… it’s not just a comic book…
San Diego Comic Con is just around the corner, and just for fun, I put together a mockup of what I’d like to see Hasbro announce for The Black Series (in addition to the cool rumors we’ve been hearing regarding figures like Darth Plageuis, etc.).
Head on over to the forums and check it out, and while you’re at it, share your own wishlist too!
Reminder – this is just a fan-fiction mockup!
Hasbro’s Naboo Starfighter is one of their better efforts recently, but unfortunately we all know how hard it’s been to track one down due to the overload of Podracers and AAT Tanks in the first assortment of 2012’s Movie Heroes line.
But, even as abysmal as retail has been over the past year for Star Wars merchandise the market actually wants, there’s still hope to find this particular ship if you have a Tuesday Morning or a Gordman’s store in your area. The Naboo Starfighter has been sporadically showing up at these two discount chains in recent weeks – including a recent score by forum member Grimace.

We posted a lengthy rant last month expressing our recent frustration with Hasbro, and it seems like the folks at Target may feel the same way given their latest round of Hasbro markdowns.
It isn’t just Star Wars product either… it’s GI JOE and Transformers product too… and the trend here is that all the items are ones aimed at kids, and really aren’t of high quality… they are often gimmicks or Hasbro scaling back on quality. So what does that mean with the upcoming Movie Heroes line? Will they pegwarm like these have been doing since the moment they were first stocked?
Hopefully Hasbro has a much better plan in store for next year… share your thoughts here or in our forums.
Our very own DanoftheDead has been working behind the scenes with a group of close friends for many years to complete a fan made film, called Star Wars: Hunt for the Holocron.
It appears all the hard work and dedication has paid off as their team is inching closer to releasing their film. Check out their official site and while you’re at it, leave some feedback for Dan and his friends in our forums!
