CAFN does a special podcast with Frank Diorio...

Frank Diorio is well known to customizing fans across the world and definitely a well known guest on CAFN. Chad and Tamer were looking for a reason to podcast and used this special podcast episode with Diorama Workshop.com to announce a few things that we think all will like to hear. It was great fun to hear Frank talk about his experiences at Celebration 6. Don't worry, Custom Action Figure News is gearing up for a new season. And if you would like to be on send them an email!

CAFN: Episode 52 - Darksider80 of Korriban Customs

CAFN: Episode 52 - Darksider80 of Korriban Customs

CAFN had an absolute blast last night talking with Darksider80 of Korriban Customs. They covered quite a few customizing techniques from accessorizing your figures with soft goods to the types of JOE and SW Parts that mesh well. And they even covered some of the recipes and back stories behind some of Darksider80's awesome work.

We're a big fan of this newcomer to the customizing community!  We are lucky enough to have one of his figures in our own collection.  Be sure to listen.  This artist is noteworthy and this interview shouldn't be missed.

Well CAFN planned on having a lighting roundtable and while they apologize for that not happening, they were able to discuss a few interesting UV and glow paint techniques thanks to Clonehead. Of course they had to unload about the new 6-inch line announced by Hasbro.  CAFN wants to thank Clonehead, Luke Sprywalker, and later SpookyMufu for checking in to give us their views on this new announcement. And stay tuned folks, CAFN is not giving up on bringing you a dedicated podcast on how to light up your stuff!

CAFN: Episode 44: Lucasclones and Tamer Chat Over Coffee on a Sunday Part 2

CAFN: Episode 44


Join Lucasclones and Tamer as they chat over Sunday morning coffee.  While we can't completely agree with their view on this season of Clone Wars, we can still enjoy their podcast.  The Star Wars franchise has always been about family entertainment and that means sometimes kids need to get their share of episodes that are written with them in mind.  Older fans of the show tend to get impatient when this happens, and we understand when that happens, but here at CFTK we understand that sometimes we have to share the show with the younger fans and we can still enjoy Season 5 of our favorite show.
