Quote:
What is toy customizing? Toy customizing is the art of creating unique or modifying existing toys to better suit one's preference. Customizing is as much an art as it is a hobby. A custom might be a manufactured figure simply repainted, a completely original sculpture or a mixed effort, combining original sculpture with painting and manufactured parts.
The art of customizing has produced a community of fellow customizers whose talents range from inexperienced newcomers to professional sculptors. The growth of that community owes much to the communicative powers of the Internet. The World Wide Web allows customizers to exhibit their work to a large audience, as well as communicate directly with others in the hobby. With that in mind, many customizers have opted to operate under a general title.
The Custom Coalition
The Custom Coalition is an affiliation of custom toy makers who practice their art under a general code of honor and ethics. This code includes but is not limited to:
1. A spirit of cooperation and fair play.
2. A sharing of knowledge.
3. Nurturing of interest in those new to the hobby.
4. Positive education concerning the nature of the hobby.
