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.

 

 

Continuing a year long project customizing everyone's favorite mutants, Iron-Cow Productions is proud to unveil their latest line of figures: X-MEN 1986. Each figure in this line represents the classic Chris Claremont / John Romita Jr. run on X-Men, which many feel was the highpoint of X-Men story telling.

Seen here are the nine figures in the intial offering. From left to right we have: CYCLOPS, PHOENIX II (w/ Phoenix force display base), Rogue, Storm, Nightcrawler (with Teleporting Action display base), Wolverine (re-offered from ICP), Shadowcat, Colossus, and Nimrod the Ultimate Sentinel.

CYCLOPS
 
First off is CYCLOPS, in what many agree is his prefered costume. Featuring multiple points of articulation, Cyclops is torn between a life leading the X-Men and his new duty as husband to Madeline Pryor.

PHOENIX II (with Phoenix Force display base)
 
Fleeing a hostile future world of rampant Mutant persecution, Rachel Summers time travels to the 1980's in an effort to prevent a doomsday future from occuring. But upon arriving here, she begins to wonder if she arrived in the correct time line.
 
The Phoenix II figure represents Rachel Summers at the height of her power. Featuring 7 points of articulation, Phoenix is ready to take on any adversary.

Next up are two lovely ladies who are not to be messed with. Displaying the finest in 80's superhero fashions are:
 
ROGUE
 
Don't let her southern charm fool you. This young mutant has a strength to rival that of Colossus. This version of Rogue sports 11 points of articulation and is the first of a potential series of Rogue customs, reflecting her various costumes over the course of her career as an X-Man.
 
STORM
 
Although this incarnation of Storm had temporarily lost her mutant abilities, her combat training made her still a force to be reckoned with. Storm also features 7 points of articulation.

NIGHTCRAWLER (with Teleporting Action Display Base)
 
Everyone's favorite fuzzy elf finally receives the appropriate representaion in action figure form, complete with 'Teleporting Action' display base. Sure, the base doesn't actually *do* anything, but he looks great displayed in front of it, you gotta admit. Nightcrawler features some 26 points of articulation, making him the most poseable Iron-Cow Prod. custom to date.

WOLVERINE
 
Originally on display at the Iron-Cow Prod. website a year or so back, Wolverine is offered again to complete the team of Eighties X-Men. The figure is the smallest of the bunch, reflecting the small stature of the character. Still, with 14 points of articulation, this ferocious mutant can take on any foe.

SHADOWCAT
 
The youngest of all the active X-Men, Shadowcat has proved herself an invaluable member of the team time and time again. Though she changed names as often as she changed costumes, this outfit is the preferred attire of choice for our young heroine. Shadowcat features 11 points of articulation.

COLOSSUS
 
Everyone's favorite Russian powerhouse chose this new outfit as a tribute to his Soviet heritage. Colossus has nine points of articulation and stands ready to do battle whenever the need arises.

NIMROD
 
The Sentinels of the future have created the ultimate killing machine... and he is wearing magenta trim. Standing a whopping 8 inches tall, this Nimrod figure has 10 points of articulation and is ready to combat the mutant menace wherever and whenever the need arises.
