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!

Hunter Knight Customs Added to "Customs I Wish I Owned"




Hunter Knight Customs began in 2008 when they made a car for the Hollywood movie "Sex Drive".  After that they started a custom action figure division which became their main product line. HKC is owned by Chris "Hunter" Diaz, and since then they have made more than 1.000 figures for the commercial market, from Masters of the Universe, Marvel Legends, Marvel Universe, DC Universe Classics, and Star Wars. HKC has been featured on sites like MTV and He-man.org. Hunter Knight Customs main website http://www.hunterknightonline.com/ has a collection of videos dating to the very first figure that was made in 2008 to his latest releases... all featured in video format!

We have two action figures created by Hunter Knight Customs and we couldn't be happier with his figures.

CUSTOMS FOR THE KID - THE STAR WARS DAY TOUR

Hello everyone, Happy Star Wars Day!  Today we thought we'd do something really special to celebrate our love of Star Wars.  A Star Wars party at our house.  A behind the scenes look at where the blog is created.  

We thought it would be cool if our audience saw how simple our facilities here are and that it doesn't take a fancy workshop to make something really cool.  

We also threw together a video slideshow featuring a small selection of our work that includes super easy custom action figures that are great projects for a beginner customizer through to more complex sculpted figures for the advanced veterans.  

The YouTube version of the slideshow is a bit muddier than the high definition Animoto version we posted below, but the behind the scenes footage is only available on the YouTube video.  The YouTube video also features a quick thank you from Dad to Vanessa Marshall who will be voicing Hera Syndulla on Disney's Star Wars: Rebels this fall on Disney XD!  She gave Dad's Bo Katan custom action figure a shout out on Twitter and it totally made Dad's weekend.






For a high definition version of our video slideshow PLAY THIS VIDEO.
