Uh...you really gotta specify which ones you're looking for... Cause they wouldn't be custom if you could find them lying around on some retail sites...

Custom figures, as they are, are already unique and one-of-a-kind. If you happen to be lucky to find one, it's usually gonna cost you a penny.

A good place to start is eBay. I recalled a while back ago several sellers listed that one custom Barack Obama deluxe action figure this one dude made. Came with a mic, katanas, machine guns, extra ties, flag, etcs. But, it was pretty darned expensive I think.

Like I said dude. You gotta know what you're looking for.

I'm sorry but I cannot possibly imagine anyone that does custom figures. Like John Casey was saying figures are pretty unique and one-of-a-kind already. It just simply would not be profitable to listen to 1 different customer requests to put together a quality figure.

Plus even if someone did I wouldn't be surprised if it cost you at least 200-300 US dollars for a 1/8th scale. A nice quality figure alone non customized will run you anywhere from 55-95 US dollars for a 1/8th.
