Legacy Casting Call Debuts
After a slight delay due to personal issues on my part, we're back with the debut of the Legacy Casting Call. Over a hundred years after Luke Skywalker saved the galaxy, his bloodline is once again in the middle of a galactic wide struggle for power as well an eternal battle between the light and dark sides of the Force. Now FFURG is proud to present a new Casting Call displaying the action figure based representations of these characters from some of the finest customizers around.
Have a look at the newest Casting Call for inspiration to submit your own customs and join in on the FForums Discussion regarding Legacy. Many thanks to the customizers who submitted their work for this slightly late debut. We'll be back next weekend with an update to a few of our older Casting Calls so stay tuned.

New Casting Call Annoucement - Battlefront!
We're announcing a new Casting Call straight from the FForums. Following Hasbro's move to make figures from this super fun series of games, FFURG presents the Battlefront Casting Call!

That's right, the Battlefront Casting Call debut deadline is next Friday, February 15th with the debut itself the next day. Why you may ask? Well this Casting Call is just an appetizer for the announcement of the next Casting Call on Saturday the 16th. Here's a hint, it's a Casting Call everyone has been asking us to have and we've listened. :)
