Custom Munny Mobile Project

Just in time for Halloween, I've completed my Munny Mobile custom - Devil in Demon Car.

Interesting back story. When I first started working on this custom, I was going to make a pimped out car with a little Munny pimp. Large brimmed hat, top coat, platform shoes - the works. As I was sculpting the pieces I needed, I began to realize that the Pimp theme would take a lot more time and effort than I thought I had to give. It was then that I realized the Munny's little platform shoes looked just like hooves. From there, the devil came easily.

The car was a little trickier. I wanted to do something different with it, but I didn't want to get too crazy and mess the car up. In the end, I went with a simple red paint job and sculpted the arms and tail for the car's "demon drive".

I really love the way the devil turned out, even if I'm a little "eh" on the car. As I suspected, I loved working with the 4" figure. All in all, I think this is my best effort so far.

Dunny Series 4

The new Dunny series came out. I scored a few pieces at the Toy Store; I think they only ordered 1 case, so once again, no complete set for me.


All in all, pretty cool. I like the Dupac figure the best, followed by the Kozik Clockwork Orange figure. And how much do I wish I had scored the Pearl variant figure instead.

Custom Munny Project: Linez

Here's my latest custom, an 8" Munny I've named Linez.

I started out by painting the figure gold, after which I laid down some pinstriping tape to get the line design. Once the tape was down, I painted the whole piece again, this time black. Once that coat was dry, I carefully removed the tape and voila! Linez. I finished the piece with some iridescent clear coat, which really gives it a cool shine in the light. I wasn't entirely thrilled with the way the lines turned out in some spots, but it was still a worthy attempt at a new technique.

Custom Munny "Wave"

Here's my latest custom project, a little something I call "Wave".


To start, I painted the figure black, and then used tape to create the wave designs on the bottom and face. After painting the waves and letting them dry, I used some more of my iridescent sealant to finish the piece.


This piece is a clear example of what I tend to end up with when I go into a project without a clear design in my head. This thing just pretty much came about on its own.

Some New Acquisitions

Dragon-Con has come and gone. This year's con was great as always; I spent a ton of money, stayed out late, and generally had a ball.


A day before the Con, we hit up The Toy Store, where I made a few purchases:





The 8" Mist figure






A couple of Joe Ledbetter's Finders Keepers figures





Ferine, from the Life inVentsville series

Dragon-Con Disappointment

It looks like we won't be having a table at this year's Dragon-Con. Long story short, a number of factors needed to come together in order for the project to move forward...and they didn't. I'm disappointed, but what can you do. Hopefully, we'll be able to put something together for next year's ACE.

Custom Munny Mobile Pics

A friend of mine in San Francisco, the up and coming customizer Puppetbrain, did upa custom Munny Mobile for Kidrobot's custom contest. He didn't win, but his piece was pretty cool:
