About Me: I have been an avid toy collector ever since I was a kid. My favorite toy lines are Transformers, Star Wars, and GI Joe. I decided to make a website called www.actionfigurecustoms.com to capture all of the customs that are being bought and sold on eBay. I hope everyone finds it useful and please email me with any questions or if you have a custom you would like me to blog about, let me know!

AFC Interviews PassionDesigns

This week, AFC Interviews PassionDesigns. He is our third in the interview series and is very enthusiastic about customizing. Mix a lot of God, talent, and fun and you have a recipe for PassionDesigns!

AFC: Tell the fans of your work a little about yourself.

PassionDesigns: 31 M , South Louisiana, I'm blessed with an awesome wife Bridget and two kids (5) Gabby & (3) Kaleb . God has totally flipped my world upside down from my childhood to my marriage. I have more peace than ever before, my wife and I are truly best friends. I joined the Air Force right out of high school and now I'm out. So I love God, love this country and I'm not ashamed to admit it. My website is www.passiondesignsinc.com and there I will share anything I create from toys -> displays -> church designs. I also have a myspace = www.myspace.com/passiondesignsinc.com.

AFC: When did you start making customs?

PassionDesigns: As anyone I always have had the imagination of seeing better toys, or crazy models/diorama.I always thought it would be cool to have your own Batcave sort of thing lol! Up until about 3 years ago, I didn't realize that there was this little community of fans/collectors/ = customizers. I started to get the itch, and I started researching from materials, websites, tutorials. I would print up anything I could get my hands on and save. Then experimenting here and there. But I have only been public for about 1 1/2 years.

AFC: How many customs do you work on at one time?

PassionDesigns: I have had 2, sometimes 5. Its so easy to get out of hand with it. So I try to complete as many customs before creating new ones. Note: I said TRY lol

AFC: What is the custom you are most proud of?

PassionDesigns: My wife had my friend Hans paint a Jesus painting for me for fathers day. It came out awesome. A month or so later, Hans's wife Sonni came to me to make a figure of Hans. So I took it a step further and made an Airbrush Diorama for him. I learned a lot with that project and it was personal.

AFC: What is your favorite toy line to do customs for?

PassionDesigns: MY passion is for Masters of the Universe, Spiderman, and Transformers. But with the Marvel Legends there is so many parts and choices to customize characters. Its hard to pick one.

AFC: What customs do you have lined up for your next ones?

PassionDesigns: The flip flopping of the Batcave really got me thinking. So right now I have Goblins Lair in WIP ( with the option of ozborn warehouse old school, flip to Ozcorp industries flip to New Goblin lair with Harry SM3). I have a couple more Transformer customs/dioramas.Along with some Christian designs working with the Angel Wars Series.

AFC: If you had one piece of advice for other customizers out there, what would you say to them?

PassionDesigns: IT's all about PASSION!! HAVE FUN!!!!!! Regardless who's says what! I am customizing things that is passionate to me. What gets you excited? Right now I'm also creating a diorama of a scene out of one of my favorite comics. LOL I laugh not a lot of people will get it, but I remember this scene from my childhood and this summer I found this comic at a flee market for $0.50 from the late 1980's. So stay tuned...more to come. But just be creative and shoot for the sky.I would love to see a customizer convention where we could meet and greet lol !!!!
