NECA Pacific Rim Series 2 now Available on eBay!

The NECA Pacific Rim series 2 figures are now available on the NECA eBay store
. This series includes the Jaeger Stryker Eureka, a battle damaged Gipsy Danger with chain swords on each arm, and the Kaiju Leatherback. According to NECA, they have a very limited quantity available there. They are also shipping series 2 to retailers, but if you don’t want to wait or don’t feel like hunting, you can purchase them directly from NECA through eBay by CLICKING HERE or on the picture below. Considering how quickly series 1 sold out and how rare it’s become, I’d say that if you’re collecting these figures, this is a good way to get it. I hope this helps out anyone looking to complete their NECA Pacific Rim collection.

 

EBay Find – Obitsu Doll Stand, Perfect For Action Figures!

I thought I would share this for all my fellow action figure enthusiasts out there. If you’re in need of some action figure stands, these are the best I’ve ever used. They pop up sometimes on eBay, and they’re great. They’re called Obitsu doll stands, and they’re from China. They’re clear, multi-jointed, and have two different sized clips to accommodate several different sized action figures. They’re cheap too.

I have a bunch that I’ve bought over the years, and they’re perfect for flying characters, or just making a scene more action packed. If you have Marvel Legends, DC Universe Classics, or even Japanese imports like Figma, Figuarts, or Revoltech, then the Obitsu stands really are perfect.

Out of all the different figure stands that have been made over the years, the Obitsu stands are hands down my favorite. The seller seems to have a bunch in stock right now too, so if you need several, then you’re in luck! I hope this helps out anyone in need of some awesome action figure stands. To buy the Obitsu stands, just CLICK HERE or the photo below.

Custom Pacific Rim Gipsy Danger Charity Auction From Jin Saotome

I wanted to share this with everyone. My good friend and awesome customizer John Mallamas AKA Jin Saotome has put up a customized Pacific Rim Gipsy Danger figure on eBay. It has reworked articulation to make it more posable, and all kinds of accessories like the Chain Sword, Plasma Caster, and the Elbow Rocket. But what really makes this special is it’s a charity auction. 100% of the proceeds go to the Special Olympics of Southern California.

So if you love buying customs and want a one-of-a-kind piece from Jin Saotome, and want to help out a good cause, then JUST CLICK HERE.

News – BBTS Has Mattel DCUC Wonder Twins Set Up for Pre-Order

Mattel DC Universe Classics DCUC SDCC San Diego Comic-Con Wonder Twins SetHey guys, heads up. Anyone who needs a DCUC Wonder Twins set, and only wants to pay $45 for it better click here. BigBadToyStore has a “Mattel Collector Warehouse Find” pre-order for them, set to arrive this month. I just found this and I couldn’t whip my credit card out fast enough. I’ve been wanting these for a long while now, so pre-order while you can, because “warehouse find” does not scream “large quantity” to me.

Back in 2009, this was released as a San Diego Comic-Con exclusive. Right now on eBay this set goes for well over $100, which makes this $45 pre-order all the more exciting. Please note that this is not the version of the set that includes their monkey Gleek, whom you could only get as a special extra item for buying the set in person at Comic-Con.

I hope this helps out all of those out there who need this set, but just can’t afford the astronomical prices it reaches on eBay.

New Radical Custom Action Figures!

This week I have a whole set of the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figures that I’ve customized with realistic paint jobs to help bring out the beautiful sculpts. Each figure has been hand painted from head to toe with washes and dry brushes and several shades of various greens and yellows to really help bring the new figures to life. I’ve also customized and painted all of their weapons, and given Michelangelo’s nunchucks and kusarigama real metal chains. I’ve done the same thing with Donatello’s trisected bo staff.

Click the photo below to check out the full set of photos, and be sure to scroll all the way down to see some comparison shots of the customs next to the original factory figures to get the full effect.

Also, if you’re interested in them, I have this whole set for sale on eBay in one lot, so bid often and tell your friends.

Custom Nickelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Action Figure Set

Custom Darth Knight Action Figure on eBay

Hey everyone, just posting that I’ve listed my custom Darth Knight Action Figure on eBay.

I know, I already listed him once, but the buyer was unresponsive and then decided to back out, so I figured instead of going through a long and arduous process with eBay that ultimately wouldn’t get them to pay anyway, I just decided to relist it.

So if you thought about bidding before, then here’s your chance.

Just click here to see the listing.

Happy bidding!

Welcome to Mint Condition Customs

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.
