CustomCon XIX Completed

CustomCon XIX

Over at the Raving Toy Maniac, CustomCon XIX was recently completed. The event was held Monday, April 7, 2008 through Friday, April 11, 2008 and, incredibly, featured over 80 pages full of custom action figures, and thanks to the success of Marvel Legends, the word ‘Legends’ appears in approximately 150% of the waves in this CustomCon. (Oddly, the success of DC Direct has not led to the word ‘Direct’ being included everywhere.)

Various incarnations of the Justice League dominated DC Comics’ contribution. Marvel was represented well across the board with entries for the Avengers, X-Men, a few lines dedicated to villains, a couple of Age of Apocalypse waves, and even a wave that contained 5(!) Deadpool figures.

It would be impossible to effectively capture the entire event in a blog like this, so I suggest you have a look for yourself. Click here to check out everything CustomCon XIX has to offer.
