Action Figure Xpress Exclusive X-Men Minimates Four-Packs Shipping This Month

It’s too bad DST and AFX couldn’t find a way to include Angel in both these sets.  I’m glad to be able to complete a set of the five original X-Men, but I don’t think it will be fun to track down Angel.

With CustomCon 24 going on at TheFwoosh.com, this is a horrible time for me to be posting custom action figures of my own, especially when they aren’t quite customs and just some simple modifications on some already pretty good figures.  As you can see, I’ve been buying up Marvel Legends 2-packs with SHIELD agents like the line were being canceled (it’s not!) – and as good as these figures are straight out of the package, I couldn’t resist doing some touch-ups.

CustomCon 24 at TheFwoosh.com

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!  No, not the winter holidays – it’s Winter CustomCon, the 24th installment and the third hosted by TheFwoosh.com.

What is CustomCon?

CustomCon is a special presentation of new custom toy creations by customizers around the globe. Eight 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.

This special event is running all week, so I’ll try to pick out some of the custom entries that I found really compelling.  Here’s three from day one.

Marvel Universe 2010 Wave 2 Press Pics

ActionFigs.com has pics of the second wave of 2010 Marvel Universe product, including the highly anticipated Luke Cage, Black Widow, and Thor.

Wave 1 has already hit retail even though we haven’t closed out 2009 yet – I think this is because sell-through on Marvel Universe is pretty strong.
