ThreeA Toys Adventure Kartel Dead Astronaut Gangsta Pre-Order Opens Today

The AK Golden Dolphin set was the first of the Adventure Kartel sets needed to get a promotional AK Shadow. I was still decompressing from SDCC when that pre-order went up, so I missed posting about it.

The Dead Astronaut Gangsta set is the second of the four sets for that Shadow. The white and black Gangstas will also be available as singles (with no Shadow promo later, of course). It all goes up for pre-order on Bambaland today in a couple of hours, at 6PM EST. The window for pre-ordering is 24 hours.

CustomCon 35 Wraps Up – Day Two

CustomCon 35 Day 2

It’s time for Summer CustomCon again! CustomCon 35 is hosted by our good friend Joe Acevedo, and wraps up with Day Two.

CustomCon is a fictional toy show, showcasing the work of action figure customizers. You won’t find these toys in your local toy store – at least not right away. I’ve heard from several toy makers that they often get inspiration from customs. So you never know! (Check out previous CustomCons and see for yourself.)

Day 2 features four entries: Superman The Animated Series 2014, a set of 3 3/4-inch Gotham’s Most Wanted figures, busts showing The Evolution of Magneto and Mystique, and another group of Game of Thrones busts. Enjoy!

Sideshow Lists Exclusive Evil Superman from Superman III

Hot Toys Superman (Evil Version) 2

When Sideshow put the Star-Spangled Captain America and G.I. JOE’s Joe Colton up for pre-sale last week, I wondered what happened to the third of the Hot Toys “Toy Fairs” exclusives. I guess it wasn’t too far behind, because the Hot Toys Evil Superman from Superman III is now up for pre-order. Since Sideshow is the Hot Toys distributor in the US, I think they’ll be the only ones to carry this here.

It’s been so long since I’ve seen any of the Christopher Reeve Superman movies that I have pretty much no recollection of the third movie with Richard Pryor – I’m thinking that’s probably a good thing given its low ratings. But it’s probably time to watch them again.

Border Patrol: Marvel Legends Mutants – Rogue, Cyclops, and Juggernaut

Marvel Legends Rogue 1 Marvel Legends Rogue 2

Marvel Legends Jim Lee Rogue by Draubner – I don’t remember when it was in the comics that Rogue turned into another hot X-Female – when she first showed up as an X-Men baddie, she was short-haired and homely – I don’t think it was Jim Lee’s doing, but he certainly designed one of Rogue’s most popular looks, and this custom captures it with an envy-worthy smooth paint job – ends soon at Aug 06, 2013 11:32:42 PDT

In AFP’s Border Patrol, we scour active eBay auctions for customized action figures that you won’t want to let slip by!
