    Customizer of the Month : Then and Now - Anthony Durso

    For the month of January we’ll be highlighting the work of Anthony Durso, aka The Toyroom. We originally interviewed Anthony in 2007, and thought it would be interesting to catch back up with him.

    Anthony’s original interview can be found here:

    The latest on Anthony and his customs can be found here:

              There are a few people here who make custom packaging and all are talented. For my selfish purposes, I cannot imagine having anyone but Anthony doing my boxes and cards. He makes my customs look better, which I need sometimes. He totally gets the hobby and is well-versed in comics lore. He is the total "package" when it comes to customizing.
              I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

              If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

                                  Just absolutely love those DC boxes with the go go checks. I am actually doing my first project with him right now and am really excited about it, its my dream figure I wish I had as a kid and will be very retro.

                                              I think that's actually version 1.0, with a modified headsculpt that I did. Version 2.0 is much better and has a headshrink from an Ada Chan sculpt that is spot-on Hitchcock.

                                                      Most of my customs are in Toyroom boxes.
