Royal Samurai Retainer Dunnys


Here is my two latest sword and spear wielding customs. Inspired by Grimsheep's ponytailed Hellboy from Messageboard Dunny Trade #9. I decided to change the dunny ears into a single topknot to form the head for these two Royal Samurai Retainers. Enjoyed my time customizing these, one for the Super Duper Dunny Trade and the other to sell to anyone on the boards. The only problem I had was that the shape of the head and how I did the eyes made them look like an older version of that character on The Family Guy.hahaha Both come accessorized and ready for battle with sword and spear. These are my test dunnys for an up and coming blind box series that I am planning... Samurai's, Ronin, and Ninja's! So be on the lookout for that one. Enjoy!

Tiny Toilet Terror Dunny

So here is a custom dunny I just completed for a private trade with Felix Jackson. Tiny toilet terror dunny with roll of teepee, filthy plunger, and detachable poopie friend. I like this black colorway because it makes the white designs stand out. Also, the hinging job on this one is a lot better than the first toilet dunny I made. I had weighted this little guy with 8 peices of lead sinkers in hopes that he may stand on his own. Sorry to say that he still tips over once the head is fully open.
In exchange for this fella, I will be getting a custom MF Doom Dunny made by Felix, along with a couple of Obama stickers he made. What a deal! On another note, this is my last custom that I will be using Applebarrel paints. From now own I will only use liquitex acryilic paints! I am slowly evolving! hahaha Enjoy!

Dragon Dunny Customs

Finally dusted these guys off the shelf and completed them today. They still reek of clear coat as of picture time. These little miscreants are the result of experimentation which resulted in the creation of my Message Board Custom #9 Chinese Dragon. It was very pleasing creating and experimenting with these because not a lot of thought went into the process and development. My mind sort of went auto-pilot and my hands sculpted and pieced the pieces together to end up with the final results. They weren't originally going to go to some owners but a couple of nice board members needed a friend to go their way. Blue is going to Felix Jackson because he got forgotten in Message Board Trade #9, Green will go to Shujing-Fantasy for correctly guessing the subject of my custom for Mini-Munny Trade #2, and Black will go to SoldierPnoy as a commission. Enjoy!

Simian Samurai

So here is my first MadL custom. I call him Simian Samurai and he was customized especially for the Delicious Drips Me MadL Custom Show coming up this friday. He stands in his glorious 10inches of grandeur with katana in hand and a tail to match. Not only is this my first MadL, it is also my first time using liquitex acrylic paint for a multi-color project. Though it was a pain to apply and use for my first time, I'm quite happy with the experience and plan on practicing on some unsuspecting 3" dunnys to perfect my craft. I researched several classical samurai paintings to help get the idea for the armor and color. Even though there are a bunch of things that could be improved, I enjoyed creating this because it was fun and I was able to take my customizing to a new direction! Enjoy!
