Write-ups for our custom action figures and how-to tutorials
You may remember that in December last year, test shots for 6-inch scaled Titanium Man and Crimson Dynamo figures started appearing on eBay. We got a closer look at a pair of the test shots in January.
Apparently, more of these test shots have continued to make their way to eBay, and Fwoosher Atgscl went through the trouble to paint his set.
Thanks to the Dork Dimension (website | Twitter), I happened across a very cool custom by petecorp of the Iron Man Mark IV, built using Legos.

AFP Iron Mania continues, with a close look and write-up of this custom-built Iron Man armory by Thor-El.
One of the things I’ve always loved about Iron Man are the specialty armors he develops. And because of that, unlike the many strange and useless “Knight Dive Batman” or “Space Slider Spider-Man” figures that might get made, having lots of different Iron Men populating your shelves always looks awesome. And while Iron Man isn’t my favorite character (that honor belongs to Thor), I really enjoy buying and setting up little armories of him.
This Lego “CubeDude” Iron Man was designed and built by Angus MacLane. For Lego fans, MacLane says that CubeDudes have “All of the charm of Miniland scale with the specificity of the MiniFig scale.”
If you think Iron Man is cool and are a fan of 80’s pop culture, you should check out MacLane’s CubeDude Collection. He’s designed and built CubeDudes from the comics, SuperFriends, Star Wars, Masters of the Universe, GI Joe, the A-Team, and more!
At some point late tonight or tomorrow, Casimir at Raving Toy Maniac is going to publish the final day of CustomCon 25, and my meager entry, called Dangerous Deities, will get posted. I promised Casimir that I would have this recipe page up by the time that came around, but since I’m not quite sure when he’ll push the button, this is going up at Midnight CST.
