The Voice of the Republic Podcast: Episode 12 - Voice Actor Ben Drisdin (WAC-47) and Customs for the Kid

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.

CAFN had a blast talking with Jamie of Sillof's custom's. Sillof is a guy who loves the hobby and has had a great deal of experience in it.

Listen up and get all the details.

CAFN Episode 29 - Diorama Building Roundtable

CAFN Episode 29 - 

Diorama Building Roundtable

Custom Action Figure News just keeps getting better and better.  We are loving this roundtable format.  It's just awesome that they are alternating their podcasts between the interview and roundtable format, because we never want the interviews to stop, but this roundtable is equally cool.  We had an absolute blast listening to Barry (R1bb1t) and Scott (Spooky Mufu) talk about the art of diorama making. There are just a ton of tips to starting your own dioramas and what you can do to make them awesome. They even had a very special guest, none other than legendary Frank D'iorio, who showed up at the end and shared his own thoughts about diorama making and gave everyone a special Celebration 6 Sneak Peek.
