Title: Action Figure Empire (Blog)
Post by: ActionFigEmpire on April 09, 2011, 03:09:43 PM
Hi Yarders,

You may be familiar with Action Figure Empire and our ever growing blog but in case you're not, please check us out!

                        click----->  http://actionfigureempire.blogspot.com/  <----click

Our latest review is of the SDCC Exclusive 501st Stormtrooper (much like the one being auctioned off by ReconSgt in the charity auction threads).

We also have over 75 previous articles, reviews with HD photographs, videos and more! (just check the blog archive on the home page)

We have a fully populated list of awesome links where you can find other noteworthy blogs and websites full of photos, reviews, interviews, videos, and more! There are also links to websites full of bargains and shopping for Star Wars products.

There's an AFE forum at the very top of the first posting directly under the AFE header logo. Feel free to join up and help us get the forum going by posting and creating some new topics and threads!

We also have a Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo/pages/Action-Figure-Empire/196704237028097     and soon we'll have a Twitter account.

We update the blog pretty much daily so there's always something fresh and new to look forward to.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for making the Yards what they are :)

Stay tuned for more links and updates!

Thanks Art! AFE has featured my blog and work in his site several times already, and he deserves nothing less than a good write up from me.

I will be featuring you too and the rest of the 'Yarders in the future :)

Awesome! I look forward to reading all those articles Randy!

As I mentioned before I do a feature on AFE called Collector's Spotlight where I feature a bit about a collector, photos of their collection, and their website(s) (if any). I offered the next episode to Doc, but have yet to receive any pictures from him. I really want to feature the Yarders' collections on AFE. So if you're interested let me know. Send me a PM or email with your pictures or videos and a little about yourself. Prepare to see it on the AFE front page in lights :)

Well after a long hiatus I'm dusting off the AFE blog and will be planning a relaunch after my next update of 9+ figures and 3 full-sized vehicles. The blog now features music to enhance your viewing experience! Joining me in this effort will be YakFace, JediMindTrix, and RebelAce. If you'd like to contribute (I know Botwt we talked about that) please send me a PM. Just another place for Star Wars toy content, with a touch of humor, HD photos, and lots of cool stuff!

We will be looking for lots of fresh content! Which means reviews, custom work, and photos! We average about 3,000-5,000 hits a month and have had 43,376 hits since I launched the blog last February. I haven't posted any new content since September and we've got 4,000+ hits this month alone. Just another place to get more Star Wars action figure content out there.

I will be announcing the Re-launch soon!

Stay tuned!

Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and here on the Yards.
