Rebels Customs Event Winding Down

The fan community was recently exposed to Hasbro’s upcoming Rebels line, which has been met with mixed results as so many of us prefer good articulation and more detailed sculpts with the Star Wars lines rather than what Hasbro revealed.

Soon after, Yakface.com teamed up with Imperialshipyards.net to host a customizing event where fans can make their own Rebels themed customs and have a chance to win some cool prizes.  While the number of entries has been somewhat modest thus far, the quality has been fantastic.

To check out the latest entries,  click here – and remember, entries will be accepted until the end of April.

Yakfinities #50 – The Original Trilogy

The first customizing challenge at Yakface.com began as a bit of an experiment back in August of 2006 – and here they are now, seven years later, and have hit a bit of a milestone – the 50th Yakfinities Customizing Challenge has begun!

The rules are simple… create any sort of new custom that is inspired by the Original Trilogy… it can be that certain cantina alien that Hasbro just won’t pull the trigger on, an ultimate Luke Skywalker,  something “off screen,” or whatever – the choice is yours.

But this time, rather than the usual random winners, Yakface.com will also be selecting a Grand Prize winner… which will receive the upcoming Amazon exclusive Droid Factory wave of figures.  Head on over to the forums for all the details after the jump!

HERE'S OUR SUBMISSION:

YOU SHOULD ENTER TOO!

Yakfinities Deadline Approaching

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.
