What is CustomCon?
CustomCon is a special presentation of new custom toy creations by customizers around the globe. Fourteen 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, wherein 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.
If this is your first exposure to a CustomCon, check out what’s been offered over the past 37 CustomCons, including the CustomCon entries that have been featured here at AFP.
