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.

Rebels Customizing Challenge Continues

Last month, Yakface.com and Imperialshipyards launched a joint Star Wars: Rebels customizing event – and so far, they’ve had several great submissions, which you can check out here.  But the clock is ticking, as entries will only be accepted through the end of April! So if you’re interested in taking part in this customizing challenge, head on over to the forums for all the details.

My Yoda entry was featured on the front page of Imperial Shipyards.

STAR WARS REBELS CUSTOMIZING CHALLENGE

Imperialshipyards.net and Yakface.com have joined forces again to bring customizers another joint customizing event...STAR WARS REBELS! The rules are simple - create a custom figure, vehicle, playset, etc., that's inspired by the upcoming STAR WARS REBELS animated series and post your work in their forums. Read the full details here and get your plan together to show Hasbro what a real REBELS Action Figure ought to look like. And you can even make em more than 5 POA (sorry couldn't resist that)!

VINTAGE SUPER-ARTICULATED EPISODE VI DARTH VADER

Parental Supervision Required. Take the upper torso of the Episode VI Darth Vader with removable helmet and swap it with the Vintage Darth Vader with the ball jointed hips and call it a day.  I boiled both figures in hot water, and then when the plastic the figures are made of got soft enough, I swapped the torsos.  Figures will be hot and you can definitely burn yourself.  I advise letting the excess water completely drain off the soft goods before attempting to touch the figure even with your oven mitts on.  

I like this project because it takes only a few minutes to create.  Nothing like a quick No Paint Kit Bash to get a super pose-able Vader with the Sebastian Shaw likeness.
