Yakfinities #87 - Bums & Barflies - ROUNDUP REPORT POSTED!
- Thread starter YAK_Chewie
- Start date
Ok - got this roundup ready just in time to wrap up 2025!
These Yakfinities Customizing Challenges are something we've been doing for 20 years come 2026... which is absolutely crazy, but a testament to the wonderful community we have here... I'd say at this point, please cherish them if you enjoy them, because there will come a day when these are thing of the past. I don't know how much longer I am going to be able to keep doing them.
That being said, there are at least a few more of these coming and the several customizers who entered this for the first time this round is very heart warming, and of course the many of you that have been participating for years on end are dear to my heart... thank you.
And here is the latest Roundup Report... with huge special thanks to our sponsor, who I hope many of you will give a visit at https://scifidioramaguy.com/collections/the-advantage

Congratulations to the winners. As always, a very fun round with a lot of great entries
What an enjoyable round of customs, and so excellent to see new members joining in on this challenge. Kudos to Chewie for all the time and effort, these roundup reports are always a thrill to scroll after a few months of watching the variety of custom figures being created. Thanks to the sponsor as well, that's a cool prize to offer someone, and great to see support for a Yakfinities challenge (and this awesome website). Congrats to all the random figure winners as well!
I'd like that trooper - might customize him into a commander or mercenary. I'll PM you my info Chewie, thank you!

Great job everyone! Chewie...thanks for all you've done for this. I'm really excited for the display stands, thank you for that. I'll send you a direct message with my info. 😀
OK, this is now my new favorite custom / modern interpretation of the Kenner Walrus Man figure. Now, my 3-pk Obi-Wan has a purpose rather than just sitting in a fodder box!
Awesome work!!Jason
Oh... wow! Thanks!!!! I'll have fun with it!!!! Whoo-hooo!!! OK, I gotta go read all the rules again lol... thank you!
MAKE ONE LOL!!! Just be careful if you use dye, it is not a perfect process, I still get some fade/rub-off, but it does help with joint/hinge colors!OK, this is now my new favorite custom / modern interpretation of the Kenner Walrus Man figure.

Yeah, I have used synthetic dyes in the past. I just about ruined a Target "Kenner" Boba Fett by having red dye residue on my figures and it getting onto Boba's light grey jumpsuit. I planned to use that Fett for a custom, but I ended up having to buy a new figure, and just utilizing the gauntlets off the ruined Fett to make a different "Ketchup & Mustard" Boba Fett.

I love seeing these! I've toyed with this idea myself of using the Marauder's Kronos Ops figures as a base for the Cantina Spacemen. So, it's really cool seeing someone make these. I'm still holding out that Hasbro produces an updated Ellors Madak this year. He's probably my most wanted figure because with an updated Ellors Madak body, you could make customized versions of Danz Borin and the other two Spacemen!

Hi all, the Advantage display stand winner has their prize now. I'll be sending the others hopefully this week.

Hey all, I posted pictures of the Advantage Diorama set I received on my thread. I really like it and would encourage you to check it out.
All action figure prizes mailed out this morning, so everyone should receive their figures this week (except Germany winner, that will take longer to arrive).
Apologies for the delay on my side.

Sorry for the very late reply. Thank you very much @YAK_Chewie for the figure! (the only major disadvantage... I had to pay so much tax that it was almost the price of a new, inexpensive figure). Shipping costs and taxes are really not a good thing for small toy prices.
That's really nice of Chewie to ship a figure to Germany, as the US prices for shipping, both domestic and international, are getting out of hand. I sent a buddy of mine in the UK a couple of Retro figures as a gift, and the shipping was more than the figures themselves, lol.
Ugh, I'm sorry - I even paid an extra fee at the post office hoping that would be avoided for you.
If you would like, please email me at rykrofenloe@yahoo.com and perhaps I can send you some $$ to offset it.
