    Interesting customs pages.

    Ran across this Toyfare customs page today. Thought some of you might find it interesting. Anyone wanna claim it?

    Accolades!

    Interesting page.

          ToyFare, where we don't give credit to our customizers.

          And it seems they still don't. Pathetic.

            back in the day, when they were still really new...if you would read down the middle of the inside spine, located in the TMT part, it would give credit to the creators of the customs...maybe they thought that it was too much trouble to do it still? who knows...

              Nice. So they publish peoples stuff but don't give anyone credit, how would that even work? or do they swipe images??? I didn't know that. Enlighten me. .

                lol....i have no idea...im sure that they dont swipe images, since the vince guy has the stuff on his page and says that he did them for TF....maybe they get credit in the front of the book, along with the other names?

                    I'm a little irritated with Toyfare myself. After I made a custom Composite Superman for the Secret Santa exchange, I also sent a photo to Toyfare, just for the heck of it. I got an email asking for a few details about myself and the custom, as well as permission to feature it in Homemade Heroes. When I asked when it would show up, they gave me an approximate issue# and month. That was over 4 months ago and it still hasn't been in yet. I was really excited, just to say that something I made was in Toyfare, but it's disappointing to flip through the pages every month and not see it.

                        years ago, when we did the legends stuff as customs, we got several emails from them, asking about them,etc..and pretty much the same thing as what BK said, but never heard back from them again...so anything is possible

                          Guessing Vince does it more for the publicity, so he can justify charging whatever he does for commissions. I don't follow toyfare or (ugh) Wizard, but that's too bad if they didn't credit the toyfare theatre creators.

                            The name of the guy who emailed me was Jake. He said it should be somewhere around issue 130 in March. But I've checked every issue and it still hasn't shown up. It kind of sucks, getting psyched about seeing it and it never happening.
