If superhero movie posters are your thing, then Woot has a deal that may be right up your alley. Their limited time offer for framed movie posters has both classic and modern superhero movies. These are reproduction posters that will come housed in a well-crafted wooden frame with non-glare plexiglass. The posters measure 27 by 40 inches.

My favorites are the classics for Flash Gordon and Superman (the Christopher Reeves version), but they also have Avengers, Thor, and Captain America available, among others. This deal ends on Wednesday morning, so get yours today.

CustomCon 36 – Winter 2013

The staff at AFP is pleased to announce that we will be hosting CustomCon 36. This edition of CustomCon will be held this December, and joins the CustomCon events held in the spring (Raving Toy Maniac) and summer (JoeAcevedo.com).

Event Dates

CustomCon 36 will run the week of December 9, 2013.

Entry Deadline

The submission deadline is Friday, November 29, 2013. No entries will be accepted after this date.

What is CustomCon?

CustomCon is a special presentation of new custom toy creations by customizers around the globe. Thirteen 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 35 CustomCons, including the CustomCon entries that have been featured here at AFP.
