041013yakfinities

Hasbro may have given the Clone Wars line the cold shoulder, but Yakface forum members have expressed a different sentiment altogether.  This new customizing challenge allows for both animated and realistic style figures – join in the fun and show off your skills (or lack thereof) after the jump!

Customizer Spotlight #29: Mikeys customs

So it's time for another installment of our Customizer Spotlight.  This time around we are featuring a custom Star Wars action figure that we just had on display at Star Wars Spectacular, but wasn't yet revealed here on the blog.  Dad recently saw this Death Trooper created by Mikeys customs on ebay and we felt it would be a great addition to my zombie Stormtrooper horde.  Mikeys customs is famous for his zombie custom action figures and if you check out his albums in his Facebook profile you'll see just why.

StarWarsGeek Custom Supply Shop



This weekend at Star Wars Spectacular, we got a visit from customizer Dave Castle aka StarWarsGeek who brought us some awesome samples of some casted heads that he sells at the StarWarsGeek Custom Supply Shop webstore! What you will find here for sale are custom cast parts and supplies for creating your own custom action figures. All parts are cast at his home studio. He will NEVER sell any parts that he feels are unusable. All parts are cast in opaque colors and may ship to you in any of the following colors: black, flesh, brown, white, blue, red, yellow, gray. (He can not take requests for specific colors at this time.)


You may remember the tutorials he made on molding and casting that we posted a ways back.  They are super informative.  Also be sure to check out his Youtube page and blog.
