Wow! This is certainly a nice surprise. It looks like the first wave of the new 2012 Marvel Legends have finally been spotted here in the United States. There have already been sightings of these figures in the Philippines, so we knew it would be just a short time before they started showing up in America.
Looks like DC Comics is getting a makeover. This press release was sent out regarding the new logo design for DC Comics:
DC Entertainment, a Warner Bros. Entertainment company and home to iconic brands DC Comics, Vertigo and MAD, revealed today a new brand identity. The new identity is reflective of the company’s mission to fully realize the value of a rich portfolio of brands, stories and characters, distinguished by incredible breadth and depth across publishing, media and merchandise. A new logo for DC Comics was also introduced, closely aligning with DC Entertainment’s new mark.

With just a little over 6 months until the July 20th premiere of the highly anticipated The Dark Knight Rises, fans are craving any news regarding the movie and today some details about Batman’s flying vehicle that we saw in the trailer was revealed.
Earlier today, Wireless Goodness showed off images that told that the flying vehicle we saw in The Dark Knight Rises trailer, which had previously been referred to as the Batwing, is officially known as “The Bat”.
TimBurton.jp revealed a couple of photos of a Superman Lives toy prototype. The prototype is of the recovery mech Superman suit and was designed by Hasbro (who had the rights to make DC related toys at the time). The movie was set to be directed by Tim Burton and star Nicholas Cage as Superman. It’s not perfect (by any stretch of the definition of the word), but you can definitely see a hint of Cage in there. Remember, this was in the mid-90’s, before the action figure Renaissance that gave us great collector figures. If you’re just now hearing about the proposed Superman Lives movie, you can browse around their site and see a lot of concept art and test shots from the movie that never came to fruition (much to the joy of geeks all around the world).

The Tick was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid. Even then I loved the irreverent humor, the style, and the unique and interesting characters. Ben Edlund created The Tick as a comic book that premiered in 1988. It was a huge indie success that later was adapted into the aforementioned cartoon by Fox in 1993. Bandai produced a toy line to coincide with the cartoon series that was actually pretty extensive. It had several variants of The Tick himself as well as most of the characters (both hero and villain) that were portrayed in the show as an action figure. It was cool for what it was, but ever since then has left collectors wanting. The Tick has never really been done justice in action figure form. Until now, that is.
Hello there, and welcome to Mint Condition Customs.
This website is used by me, John Harmon, to showcase my custom action figures. I’ve been customizing professionally since 2007 and have had a previous website showcasing my customs for several years already. However, that website is extremely outdated, and I wanted a new site to not only display my work, but to also make it more interactive.
Here you can view my entire past catalog of custom figures by clicking the link “custom figure archive“, and view several of my latest customs towards the top of the page right under the header. If you see any of my customs that you particularly like, you can share them on a number of social networking sites. There is a series of buttons at the bottom of each custom entry for you to do this, so please feel free to spread the word and share my work.
I customize figures full time and am taking commissions, so if you’re interested then don’t hesitate to contact me! In addition to commissions, I also sell some of my work on eBay, so feel free to check often.
I also offer up a service of action figure repair, for those with a figure that is too rare or expensive to fully replace.
And of course check this space frequently for action figure and toy reviews, news, as well as all sorts of pop culture related goodness.
So once again, Welcome to Mint Condition Customs and enjoy your stay.
