A: Actually having space to display them! A few months ago I wrote about having to dismantle my “toy room” because we had decided to put in new carpet, and then about getting to put together a new and improved display. This past weekend, I put the finishing touches on some upgrades.

Marvel Legends Rhino Custom Action Figures | February 23rd, 2010 |
With all the activity going on at Toy Fair, we’ve missed the Marvel team’s send-up of the Olympic games. Who better to cover the games than M.O.D.O.K. and the Gremlin? Our coverage of the 2010 Marvel Winter Games begins with the spectacular opening ceremonies, including the lighting of the torch, an introduction to the events, a look at some of the athletes and countires competing, and some hype from your happy hosts M.O.D.O.K. and Gremlin. Watch Day 1: Opening Ceremonies of the 2010 Marvel Winter Games:
It’s a short clip, but I’m looking forward to what the crew at Marvel comes up with next week!
Another timely MSH: What The–?! short from the guys at Marvel – the Hood custom looks just like the one shown at the Hasbro booth at San Diego Comic-Con last year, and I admit I would like a figure of the Iron Patriot with an interchangeable Norman Osborne head.

 Marvel Legends Icons Agency X - Taskmaster, Agent X, Bob (Agent of Hydra), and Deadpool In the past couple of weeks I’ve posted customs that I entered in CustomCon 24. First, I posted my Earth 2 Superman, Batman, Hawkman, and Robin customs, which were part of a group entry for the DC Universe Classics Justice Society of America. Last week I posted Iron Fist, Steel Phoenix, and Shang Chi, three Marvel Legends customs which made up a solo entry called Marvel Legends Martial Arts Masters. To wrap it up, here’s my write-up on four Marvel Legends Icons customs – Deadpool, Bob (Agent of Hydra), Taskmaster, and Agent X – whom I entered into CustomCon as Agency X. For those of you paying attention, I submitted them under a pseudonym, Iron Molars, which is an anagram of my real name. I did so in part so I could write up a gratuitous self-description, but also because I was just a little embarrassed that my three submissions were all on the last day. Traditionally, CustomCon saves up for a big finale on the last day, but this wasn’t a case of me thinking my stuff deserved that. Rather, it was because I was just so overloaded getting the rest of the days entries throughout the week prepped that I didn’t have time to get my own stuff finished. I took these pictures the same day I put the final day of CustomCon up. Custom Action Figures | December 27th, 2009 |
It wouldn’t be a holiday without a video from MODOK and the gang at MSH: What the–?! Happy Holidays!
 Marvel Legends Martial Arts Masters - Iron Fist, Steel Phoenix, and Shang Chi A week ago I posted my Earth 2 Superman, Batman, Hawkman, and Robin customs, which were part of a group entry for the DC Universe Classics Justice Society of America in CustomCon 24. These three Marvel Legends customs were a solo entry called Marvel Legends Martial Arts Masters. I’m going to return to my traditional style write-up of talking about the individual customs, as there’s a bit of history and a little more complexity in how they were created. As a group, the interesting thing is how much time elapsed between finishing the customs and when I actually published them at CC24. It’s different for each figure. Shang Chi was essentially finished a year back or more. Iron Fist was the same, but I was adding some tweaks in the weeks leading up to CustomCon. And Steel Phoenix was finished the day he got posted, and in a rush, too. I honestly thought about canning the entry when I put up Rust This World’s entry for Immortal Iron Fist and the Immortal Weapons, but I had been sitting on finished customs for Iron Fist and Shang Chi for so long that I just went for it.

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.
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.
