About CustomCon

CustomCon is a fictional toy show showcasing the work of several customizers. You will not find these toys in your local toy store.

 

 



Yes, it's the resurrection of the "Marvel Superheroes" line. This first assortment of figures is an attempt to round out some of the super-teams that were started, but never finished. The lineup consists of: Hepzibah, Lockjaw, Meggan, Shaman and Turbo.


Hepzibah is almost entirely made from a Black Cat figure (and what Marvel cat-girl isn't?). The tail comes from a Darksatlkers Jon Talbain and the sword (to be replaced with a gun when I can find one) is from Cosmic Angela.
Meggan
An older custom, I'm not 100% pleased with how she turned out. Anyway, she's composed of a Pheonix body, a Black Cat head and her left hand is from a Keaton Batman.


Lockjaw is made from a Little Nicky Mr. Beefy and a lot of Sculpey. His tuning fork/antenna is a TMNT: Next Mutation slingshot with yet more Sculpey.


Shaman
A Street Fighter vs. X-Men Ken is the base for Shaman. Everything else is Sculpey.
Turbo
Made from a Spider-Woman figure. The headpiece was cut from a film canister and the turbines are cut from sheet styrene with some strips from a widowboxes window glued on. Her left fist is also from a Keaton Batman. Originally she was to have two fists but when boring the hole for the right wrist joint something went awry and the forearm got ruined. I had to take one off of my Moonstone custom to finish the figure..
