Photonovel Updates in our Forums

061013spotlight85percent

The Photnovol Section in the Yakface Forums has exploded over the last week with several new installments being posted by Star Wars fans from around the globe!

First, forumite jedimasteradi kicks things off with an all new OT-era series, titled The Adventures of Jared Yunis.

Next, fans of the Clone Wars series will be sure to want to read up on CloneCrazy’s relaunch of his Shroud of Darkness series that kicks off right after the events from the Battle of Geonosis.

Forum member Choi also gets in on the action,  as he shares another chapter in his Alliance Intelligence storyline that takes place shortly prior to the Battle of Yavin.

Last but not least, photonovel master hangarbay94 picks back up on his X-Wing Alliance series too!

Check them out and let these hard working customizers know what you think of their fan-fiction adventures!

Yakfinities #48 Continues

The current Yakfinities Customizing Challenge continues through the end of June, and if the Gotal custom shown above by forumite Peakob 1 is any indication, this has been one of the best ones yet!

Head on over to the forums to check out the latest entries – but be prepared, if you are upset by Hasbro’s handling of the Clone Wars line, some of these customs might break your heart!

You think your toy runs are frustrating…

053013malgus

Just yesterday, I came across a rare sight – a TVC Darth Malgus at my local Target.  After posting this recent find in our forums, Yakface reader Darth Bobo shared a Malgus find as well… but not exactly what he was hoping for.  Head on over to the forums for a closer look.

Personal Note – In this instance, the swapper put in a pretty decent B.A.D. figure in the Sith Lord’s stead (perhaps out of some sort of sense of guilt?), but figure swapping isn’t acceptable, regardless of what figure is replaced in the packaging.

Imperial Walkers Marching into TRU

The latest TVC offering is appearing at more Toys”R”us stores across the United States, and will set you back $129.99 if you’re so inclined to pick up this behemoth. 

Note to Hasbro/TRU though – if this doesn’t sell all that well, just remember this is the 3rd packaging variation of the AT-AT in the past couple years!   We do love the big items but we also need you to throw a well-executed Death Star playset and a Sail Barge into the mix!

The Photonovel Alliance Updates

When toy runs are as dismal as they are lately, a lot of us naturally turn to customizing – and some even go the extra mile and create our own fan-fiction Star Wars photonovels – most of which can be read and commented by readers like you in our forums.

But sometimes there’s an older photonovel that appears to have been lost in cyberspace – for those of you who have been around for years in this hobby, remember the old stories by photonovel legends Dan Curto and Scott Corrales?  Or the amazing Clone Wars storyline by SA Longhorn

Those stories, and even the latest ones by various customizers can all be found on the greatest photonovel library of them all: The Photonovel Alliance.
