CUSTOM ACTION FIGURE NEWS #70: Peakob1 Custom Creations








Custom Action Figures News just debuted their new video format in their latest interview with customizer Chad Peak aka Peakob1 of Peakob1 Custom Creations.  Definitely take the time to watch Lucasclones and Tamer talk about Peakob1's artwork, and you may even learn a new customizing technique or two. Chad Peak has been a close friend of Customs for the Kid for many years.  We have over 34 Star Wars custom action figures of his in our collection, many of which were featured in this episode.  We wouldn't be surprised if that number continued to grow.  It's nice to hear how Peakob1 built all these masterpieces and get to see all his figures up on screen as they are being discussed.  We love the new format guys and we're sure you will to.

Custom Action Figure News Episode 69 - CAFN goes to Video Podcasting

It has been a long time coming, but Lucasclones and Tamer had a very enjoyable first run as they made the jump from audio to video podcasting. A few of the items they talked about were: customizing highlights around the web (of course!), new announcements regarding Star Wars Collectibles, the latest Episode 7 rumors including that great new Battlefront Trailer, etc. Now I can't promise a totally glitch free podcast as this is their first time out in this format, but they wanted to work out all the kinks before they get back to their live interviews with the best customizers across the world wide web. And don't worry, for those that like the plain audio format, they will be converting all of these videos to mp3's! And don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube Channel as CAFN begins this new series.








Its time to get your Expanded Universe on for ISY's next Custom Challenge!

Custom Action Figure News - Episode #69: JRNY FAN










Custom Action Figure News had an absolute blast talking with Brian aka JRNY FAN this past Thursday. Get yourself a cup of jawa juice, kick back, and listen to Lucasclones and Tamer talk about JRNY FAN's great Kenner inspired play-sets, hear about a cool product called Instamorph that you may want to add to your tool box, as well as a small tutorial and preview of what you are in for if you want to do some of your own 3D Printing. Hats off to JRNY FAN for giving CAFN a bit of his time. Don't forget to visit the ISY CAFN Archive Page where you can find this latest offering as well as all of their past episodes. 

We were really happy to hear that this artist was the one being featured.  We here at  home have been wanting to show his work on here for a long time now.  So happy that we can expose you to JRNY FAN if you haven't heard of him already!

CAFN EPISODE #60: Sith_fire30










We always love any opportunity we have to hear Sith_fire30 interviewed and last nights interview on Custom Action Figure News was just as enjoyable as the rest.  We heard  about some great molding and casting products, as well as techniques for how to use them.  Although this episode interview was dominated by talk about his incredible line of figures from the Alien franchise, there was still plenty of time for Star Wars talk regarding work in progress figures of his Star Wars Invasion Sprague and Spider Leg Darth Maul.  Give it a listen, you won't be disappointed.

CAFN Episode 59: Galactic Merchants









CAFN Episode 59: Galactic Merchants



Wow, what a great podcast Custom Action Figure News had with Casey, lead designer for Galactic Merchants: creators of the great new Space Station and Space Cruiser Action Figure Display Dioramas for your 3 3/4" figures. Needless to say they covered the ins and outs of these great new diorama offerings, covered just a ton of member questions, and even talked about future action figure display dioramas. Lets just say we were left just as excited, if not more so, after the interview than we started out being.
