Check Out These DesignerCon 2013 Custom Marvel Exclusives

Doctor Doom (Fuller Designs) Magneto (Fuller Designs) Uncanny X-Force (F1SHCUSTOMS)

Since DCon is comprised of a lot of independent artists and designers, there are a ton of exclusives available for the show this weekend. Here’s a couple that interested me as a Marvel fan.

We’ve thought about going the past couple of years, but it hasn’t quite worked out. One of these days…

Play Imaginative Super Alloy One Twelfth Iron Man Igor 7

Yes Anime, Play Imaginative’s distributor in the United States, is getting ready to put the Super Alloy 1/12 scale Iron Man Mark 38 (aka Igor) up for pre-order. For those of you looking to build your own armory, Igor will probably set you back a little over $100 – a bit of a shock to your wallet if you’re accustomed to picking up Hasbro Iron Man figures for $15 – $20.

DesignerCon 2013 Weekend Alert

DCon-2013 FULLERDESIGNS-DCON_original FULLERDESIGNSv1_original

DesignerCon is being held this weekend in Pasadena, CA, at the Pasadena Convention Center. DCon is an annual art and design convention that is basically a mash up of collectible toys and designer apparel, along with with urban, underground and pop art… including skate decks, original art and custom toys.

Example of cool collectible?

Fuller Designs – see his Spider-Man Minicel, Mysterio Minicel, and Ghost Rider Minicel – each OOAK and available for $125. That said, you might have wished to get Fuller Designs’ OTHER collectible – his Trick R Treat villains – Joker, Red Skull, Dr Doom and Loki. These were super cool bad guys hand-made resin pieces, using Fuller Designs’ own Lil’ Jammie design, hand-painted with acrylic and airbrush paints, and came with their own little pumpkin full of goodies… I said “came” cuz they’re all SOLD OUT, but are really worth a look.
