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.

Looking for Marvel Legends 2-Packs? In Stock with Free Shipping at ToysRUs.com

Marvel Legends 2-Packs 2.5

I’ve been lucky enough to find the 2.5 wave of Marvel Legends 2-Packs at my local Toys R Us, but I’ve heard from a number of people that they haven’t been able to find them.  If you’re still looking, then head over to the TRU website, where they have all three of the new 2-packs in stock.

They’re also included in their Free Shipping Store, so you’ll cut out any shipping cost if your order is over $50.

I’m also hearing that we’re going to see a lot of Black Friday deals at a lot of online stores, so stay tuned.  Happy shopping!
