David Stevenson for "The Grimm Show" - custom Munny's

These are three new pieces from David Stevenson for "The Grimm Show" at The Dream Factory in Frankfurt, Germany running October 1-31. The first piece is a 7" Munny entitled "Twisted Red" and it is his take on an evil, red riding hood, who has victimized a lonely wolf for her dark pleasures.

This piece will be available for  200 Euro (£150).

The second and third pieces are a pair or 4" mini munnys and they are his take on a modern day, glutinous Hansel & Gretel, who prove that the witch was the real victim, having eaten her and destroying her home. This will be available for 70 euro each (£50) or as a pair for 130 euro (£100).

Custom Viking Mini Munny by Jon-Paul Kaiser

Jon-Paul Kaiser's latest custom is a Viking/Norseman inspired custom Mini-Munny. Created as a private commission, the customer gave Jon-Paul free reign to create whatever he wanted. With a Viking/Norseman character rolling around in Jon-Paul's sketchbook for some time, this custom was an ideal time to commit the character to a custom. With little sculpting, Jon-Paul created the rugged looking Viking, complete with a winged helmet. The wings actually came from Jon-Paul's Locodonta production Dunny, which really completes the overall look of the Viking Custom. Photography of the Viking Custom was taken by photographer Justin Allfree. For those who want to commission Jon-Paul Kaiser for a custom, be sure to contact him through his website.

Hellboy 20th Anniversary Art by One-Eyed Girl

Artist Kasey Tararuj, One-Eyed Girl, sent over some pics of a couple of awesome Hellboy pieces. If you haven't heard of Kasey before this, be sure to check out her art and read more about her story. As for the Hellboy art pieces, the pieces were created for a Hellboy Anniversary Show being held at the Hero Complex Gallery in LA. Kasey typically creates works which involve her own created characters and critters, which are pretty awesome. Not one to limit creativity, Kasey is starting to also create pieces based on known characters, but in her own style. The Hellboy and Abe duo seen here, were created using a mini and micro munny. Each piece is well sculpted and seem to be combined(at the top of Hellboy's head) to become a single unique piece. The paint application is indicative of Kasey's style and is wonderfully done. Unfortunately for most collectors, this piece is already sold, but there is a One-Eyed Girl piece from the Hellboy show which is still available.

In addition to the sculpted duo of Hellboy and Abe, Kasey created a One-Eyed Hellgirl 3D painting. This Hellgirl piece is Hellboy in Kasey's own One-Eyed Girl style. Kasey created this fantastic piece using Magic Sculpt, glass eyes, and has been painted using acrylic paints. The frame also is a nice addition, which goes well with all the colors used in the piece. This 3D painting is still available for $225 plus shipping at the Hero Complex Gallery, here. Kasey also has quite a few pieces available in her online store.

Be sure to give Kasey a follow on all of her social media pages:

Birch Tree Ent Mini by Kevin Gosselin

Kevin Gosselin recently finished a set of custom mini munnys called the Birch Tree Ent Mini. A small series of 10 customs are going to be made available for purchase at Noon PST on February 9th. Made using a Mini Munny as the base, Kevin sculpted and painted the gorgeous piece you see below. With a price tag of $275 plus shipping, I think that this a perfect price point for such an awesome piece, considering Kevin recently auctioned off his MW3 APs for more. I'm sure this will make any collector very happy.

 

If you are keen on purchasing one of these customs, be sure to get your F5 button ready before noon on Saturday. To go along with this release, Kevin has also put up a few more customs in his shop, Sydney the Sapling and Field Study Mouse. A couple of great looking pieces as well.

Snow Dome Customs by LunaBee

Amazing UK artist LunaBee recently released some wonderfully wicked cute holiday themed customs. Made from a mini munny and mini foomi, these custom Snow Domes are only 65 GBP, or roughly $105, which includes worldwide shipping. I love the amount of detail that LunaBee puts in her pieces and these definitely do not disappoint. Many of LunaBee's customs tend to be 1 offs, although LunaBee does produce a themed mini series every now and then. For example, Dragatomi still has one of LunaBee's Skeleton Parade Dunnys left, here. These Snow Dome customs would make a great gift, although, they may not arrive in time if you happen to live outside of the UK. International shipping aside, these customs are awesome.

Black & White Mini Munny custom by Reddprime

 This sick Mini Munny custom by Reddprime stands nearly 8 inches tall (yep, that's a lot of sculpting and construction work in there- the little Mini Munny is twice as tall as when he started). 

Black & White is the villain from from  Ro-dunny series, a rebuilt cyborg. Unfortunately they forgot to replace his heart so he lands up defending that which he destroys... either that or he just likes fire alot.

Reddprime (aka Mitch) is a talented artist from South Africa... you can follow him on Twitter here. You can purchase this custom here.

Jon Walsh and ServeEm blind Mini Munny trade

Gremlifly Mini Munny custom by ServeEm

A customizer named Jon Walsh recently got in touch with me about a Mini Munny blind trade be did with ServeEm. Both of these guys are boardies on the KR forums, which is a hotbed of customizing and custom toy industry interaction.

The Incredible Mini Munny custom by Jon Walsh

 Jon writes:
I recently participated in a 1 for 1 Mini Munny trade that I thought you might like to post on your site. Here is the background information:

Late last year ServeEm and myself decided to a blind trade, with each of us creating a MunnyWorld figure for the other person. We had free reign to do whatever we decided and once complete we would ship to the other person without them seeing the piece finished. I received my piece first from ServeEm, a Gremlifly, which is part gremlin, part butterfly and 100% awesome. (see more pics here)

My piece was a little delayed as it took a USPS detour north of it's destination but did arrive safely. His name is The Incredible, a killing machine built with pure chaotic genius. Unfortunately he is destined to destroy all of his owners at some point, so ServeEm better beware. (see more pics here)

We both can be found on the CTU and KR forums and are available for commissions. My contact address is jonwalshcustoms@gmail.com

Looks like a sweet trade for both of these guys! It's neat that people can meet up online and develop enough trust to send along precious customs to each other.
