Dorthy & the Tin Man | Custom Figure Wars

So, what is CFW?...

CFW is short for CustomFigureWars, an online community designed for the adult action figure customizer, collector, and all around toy fan. We offer a variety of features for every type of customizer, from beginners to veterans. Some of the features CFW offers are:

1. A "Live" chat box, viewable on every page, so you can discuss projects with other customizers in real time while you search the site. (Must be registered to the main site to view)

2. The Black Market (our version of the classifieds), for those who want to advertise items of their choosing such as, but not limited to, customs, ebay auctions & loose fodder etc...

3. The Custom Showcase, designed to give your customs maximum exposure (upload a custom and it is immediately front paged)

4. The Fan Art Showcase for those who also like to paint, sculpt, and sketch (the roots of customizing)

5. A showcase just for Tutorials & Recipes so we can help each other, and most importantly those who are new to the hobby.

6. The CFW Forum for the community to discuss all things action figure & more! ** The forum requires a second registration with e-mail verification for security purposes**

And yes, everything mentioned above is free, all you have to do is sign up. Here at CustomFigureWars we want to spread the hobby of customizing by bringing all custom sites & what they have to offer here for easy reference. With your help we can generate more participation in contests & the hobby all together.

A Community dedicated to the war against corporate toys.

Dorthy is a weapons engineer for Cobra Industries and has been for over 6 years. She helped design the B.A.T. Android and fell in love with the design. She has been a good woman all of her life, but recently she found out about Cobra's "dark side" and was planning to quit. But on her birthday, 3 days before she was to hand in her resignation, a squad of G.I. Joes attacked the lab she was working at. They did not know that her husband and two kids were in the building waiting for her to get off to take her for lunch. One of the joes threw a grenade in the room to clear it, but did not know they were waiting there. Her two kids were killed and her husband was seriously mangled. Cobra twisted this, and used it to their advantage minipulating Dorthy into staying. Her husband was on life support, and basically brain dead, and Cobra told her to pull the plug. So she did, and she took her husbands ashes and placed them into one of her creations... The Tin Man. Now she is bitter towards both COBRA and G.I. Joe, although she stayed on Cobras side because what happened to her family was not directly their fault. So now she has decided to pledge alligence to the Dred Noks because of their ruthless attacks on G.I. Joe.
