As excitement grows about the recently-announced wave of ICCC 2022 convention exclusive custom action figures based on “The Mandalorian” TV series on Disney+, D2C Studios’ Matt Brookins, and ICCC showrunner Michael Havens have upped their game even more.

The four custom action figures — which will be available to ticket holders on-site — will be offered during the entire three-day run of ICCC 2022, instead of just two days. And the kicker: The customs will also be offered in three types of specially designed packaging. Brookins, the celebrated custom artist making it happen, talks about his current thought process and approach:

“For ICCC 2021 we did two days of exclusive custom merchandise. One day featured large-style boxes, and the second day was MOCs. For 2022, Mike Havens has decided he wants to do three days of custom exclusives.

“We will do large Kenner-style boxes again. These have been a popular item among niche, focus, and custom collectors since I first came up with them. One thing I like about designing Kenner-style boxes is imagining, planning, making, and taking dioramas/photos for the “action” shots on the back of the box. 

“We will also do MOCs again, of course. They’re a standard. And using my Mandalorian project concept of following Kenner’s card back designs/figure numbers, makes it even more fun! There will be four exclusive figures, therefore there must be four unique backs! And I also did two additional back designs for carding non-exclusive figures (the other 37 of the 41 Mandalorian-related figures). 

“But what to do for the third one? I had really big ideas but had to consider that all of this is hand made and I have a day job that occupies most of my time. Then I had an idea that, similar to the mini boxes I make, made me wonder “why had no one done this before?” Maybe someone has and I just don’t about it; that is sometimes the case. Regardless, I was excited about this one. More on this in future updates!”

This exclusive wave of custom “The Mandalorian” action figures will be available on-site at ICCC 2022, April 29-May 1, at the Sheraton Music City resort in Nashville, TN. Tickets are on sale now. #ICCCon
