Albert Einstein Munny

I planned to make this little figure of Albert Einstein for the munny munth contest few months ago. I sculpted the face on mini munny to see how it will work on munny. I liked it very much, but didn’t have time to repeat it on 7 inches toy, because making Rocky took longer then I expected. This was going to cover celebrity or use of real hair category :) He was waiting on my desk for a while, but I decided to finish him finally. his hair is made of furry material and face is cast in resin over the original mini munny. I am planning to make more copies of grayscale Albert and a colour version some time in future.

At the moment I am willing to make 5 copies of Einstein in grayscale at price 100 Euro per figure plus shipping. If you like him, you can send me an email or post a comment with your details. It will be on first come first served basis.

Mr Pricklepants Munny from Toy Story 3

New character to my custom munny collection comes from Toy Story 3 created by Pixar. His name is Mr Pricklepants and he is a charming hedgehog stuffed animal voiced by Timothy Dalton.  I used headless body of mini munny to make him. Its general shape matched exacly the character from the movie. I only needed to drill new holes below existing ones to lower his hands and sculpt his head on top of munnys neck. That was quick sculpt when compared with my previous toys. He is painted with acrylic paints and stitches are made with Sharpie. His spines are made of rug wool, I found in a textiles shop. Its packed in a bag of 160 pieces x6.8 cm and prepared for rug making.

Munny Young Carl from Pixar Up

munny carl1It is my first custom munny I made. It was customized before Rocky and Shrek last month. I used mini munny so I couldn’t enter to competition with this one. It is a young  version of Carl from Disney/Pixar movie Up. I sculpted his hat with epoxy putty, added shorts and shoes. Glasses are made of laser cut plywood.  This project started my addiction to toy customization. You can try it yourself!

Custom Munny Shrek

shrek munnyI played a little with munny customization. This is second mini munny I customized. Its 4 inches tall. I used DIY canvas toy from Kidrobot’s mini munny series – Bub. His body looked like shrek  right from the beginning. I just cut his ears and add nose chin and new ears so it looks more like shrek from dreamwork’s animation. Its painted with montana sprays and acrylics.  It was great fun making it. I became addicted to customization and ordered 8 more munnys, so few more toys will follow.

RussellThis is second character I sculpted to fit the 1:48 dollhouse I made before. He is made of epoxy putty and painted with acrylics. He is 28mm tall. I used Hot Toys figure as reference, but I am not planning to make his rucksack, he wouldnt be able to stand on his legs then. My next figurine is Ellie. She is already sculpted and waiting for colours, I will post it in few days so visit soon ;)

Carl Fredricksen figurine

carl3Few photos of my recent weekend project. This is a 33mm tall figurine of Carl Fredricksen from Disney/Pixar animation “Up” made in scale 1:48 to match the dollhouse I made recently. I sculpted it in two parts epoxy putty, you can buy it in every hardware store. I used the one with 5 minutes working time, it means I had to work fast and on small areas, and I could quickly make corrections with sharp knife. Glasses are made of 0.25mm styrene. All is painted with acrylic paints from Valleyo and Games Workshop range of colours and later sprayed with matt varnish. It was fun to make it.

carl wipIf you are looking to buy a figurine of Carl or Russel, I would recommend collectible vinyl toy from Hot Toys. If you need something cheap for your child, I found good quality little figurines from german producer Bullyland.
