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 20 Recap

CustomCon 20CustomCon 20 is in the books.  Hosted once again by the boys and girls at The Fwoosh, CustomCon 20 featured lots of great work.  39 pages of new custom action figures brought a strong mix of classically inspired figures and down right goofy creativity.

One of the more creative lines is brought to you by Meatloaf of Darkness - Enemas of the Loaf - who finally accomplished the impossible task of putting squash, a donut, and some vengeful, vulgar vegemite into action figure form.  Not to be outdone, Apathy Ink stepped to the table with a very detailed (both the figure and the back story) entry called GombiZobPocalypse.

In a more classic vein, Marvel and DC are again very well represented.  Monkey Pops set the bar with 8 total waves of custom actions figures.  His Sword & Shield Productions created 5 waves of All-Star Squadron and 3 waves of X-Men Evolutions - featuring the original 5 X-Men in various team outfits.

My personal favorite is Raybot’s Ultimate X-Men line.  6 well detailed custom action figures join three existing ToyBiz creations to make up this 9 character team.

As usual, there’s just too much for me to sum up into one tiny blog entry.  Don’t take my word for it. Check it out for yourself, and sing the praises of the participants in The Fwoosh’s forums.

New Custom Action Figures - 6/19

I haven’t been updating as often as I should, but regular updates should start coming more often. This week’s new custom action figures is a short and sweet entry.

For those who aren’t already aware, over at The Fwoosh, they run a feature called “New Custom Tuesday”. It usually runs every Tuesday, but has lately been on a bi-weekly publishing schedule. This week, Weapon XII’s Atom Smasher (made from a Marvel Icons Wolverine) is the featured figure.

8 other figures made their debuts this past week, as well. Check them all out at The Fwoosh.
