CustomCon 21 - Day 5

CustomCon 21 wrapped up yesterday with 4 final assortments of custom action figures.

JB Designs returns for a fourth entry in his Justice League Unlimited 3-pack series featuring a striking Captain Boomerang.

In a throwback to the mid 1990s, Rabid_Ewok brings out a Valiant Legends series inspired by the Shadowman comic.

David Harris produced an 8-figure assortment of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  Even though the line lacks the title characters, you should definitely check it out if you were ever a fan.

Finally, Marvel’s recent re-imagining of X-Force is represented in a 4-figure line from Norman Dapito.  All four major characters are represented: Wolverine, Warpath, X-23, and Wolfsbane.

CustomCon 21 - Day 3

Day 3 of CustomCon 21 brings four new assortments.

JB Designs hits us with another Justice League Unlimited 3-pack; Figurechick makes her CustomCon debut with a 3-figure assortment of The Lone Gunmen; and Terayne and Dano combined their efforts on a Marvel Zombies Wolverine.

The big line today is courtesy of Sillof, creator of the Steampunk Star Wars waves seen in previous CustomCon showings.  The line has been renamed to Steam Wars and includes 11 figures in its Return of the Jedi wave.  Joe Acevedo said it best:

[Sillof’s] re-visioned characters are full of retro-futurism twists and antiquated design elements. Great lengths were taken to give the entire line […] a cohesive aesthetic.

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.
