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.

 

 


New this fall from Tigerduck Figures comes a line of action figures based on the kids of the syndicated Boondocks comic strip created by Aaron McGruder.

First up we have youthful scholar and lead protagonist, Huey Freeman. Huey was once a crime-solver Robin. Kneadatite was added to the shirt, pants, shoes and of course, the 'fro.

Next, we have the ever cute and cuddly, if somewhat confused, Jazmine DuBois. Jazmine has taken her style cues from the animated Supergirl figure. The legs had to be cut off and the skirt lengthened before the legs were reattached. The bandana and slightly "frizzy" hairstyle are courtesy of those wonderful stylists at Kneadatite.

An arctic-blast Robin underwent some plastic surgery to be reborn as Michael Caesar, rhyme champion of Woodcrest. Caesar's jeans, shoes and dreads are all Kneadatite.

Riley Freeman was another arctic-blast Robin that underwent some minor reconstruction. The figure's original hair and sleeves were sanded down and
the hat, gloves and shoes were added with Kneadatite.


N/A

Hiro Otomo has yet to make his strip debut, but our sculptors just couldn't
control themselves. Hiro required the least amount of work of any of the figures in our display. The hair had to be sanded down slightly and the shorts and high-tops were added with Kneadatite.
Also, be sure to keep a look out for our special chase figure, "Psycho Star Wars Guy," who will be so rare we couldn't even get one to photograph.
