Welcome to CustomCon 30, the fifth installment to be hosted by TheFwoosh.com and ActionFigurePics.com!
What is CustomCon?
CustomCon is a special presentation of new custom toy creations by customizers around the globe. Ten years in the running, it’s still going strong. Inspired by the presentations of new product by legitimate manufacturers at Toy Fair and other trade shows, CustomCon is a “fake” convention, whereby customizers present their latest creations and recipes as if unveiling a new line of real toys to retailers. It’s always a lot of fun, for both the viewers and the participants.

It’s been killing me to hold some of these customs back (especially Colossus!) as I’m seen some killer versions of these characters lately. It was a blast making these X-Men, new, old, and supporting cast. Am I the only one that has trouble putting together coherent naratives for these entries?
