New Custom Action Figures - 11/10

It’s been two weeks, and there’s not a lot of new stuff out there from the usual suspects. Here’s a couple of updates from the MarvelousNews.com Custom Archive:

Bowen Style Deadpool Figure by Kyle Robinson - Kyle Robinson made this one from an HML Union Jack body and a Rob Bowen Deadpool bust, to capture perhaps the most unique and appropriate facial expression for the Merc with a Mouth.

X-Force Warpath by Aaozz9 - Warpath was crafted from a ToyBiz Conan figure by aaozz9.  The creator’s description was very concise, so is mine.

New Custom Action Figures - 9/14

After a layoff of several weeks, New Custom Tuesday made its return to The Fwoosh last week.  The featured custom action figure is Sith_Fire30’s Darth Krayt.  Sith_Fire30 has done an outstanding job of both sculpting and painting with incredible detail for a figure in the standard Star Wars 3-3/4 inch.  To check out this and 24 other new pieces, head on over to The Fwoosh and check out New Custom Tuesday.

At MarvelousNews.com, DoubleDealer’s Deadpool is featured.  DoubleDealer is not only able to produce an incredibly comic-accurate figure, he does it while maintaining the incredible articulation of his base figures.  You can read a little about his process and check out the photos over at MarvelousNews.com by clicking here.

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.
