about the plaseebo custom x miscreation toys monster mashup


what happens when two different customizers / creators / founders of their own individual toy companies get together and customizer each other's creations? witness the Monster Mashup of Bob Conge (of Plaseebo Customs) and Jeremi Rimel (of Miscreation Toys) exchange their Legend of Plaseebo Mummy and Think-UP DIY-bust /// CLICK HERE FOR MORE IMAGES AND GENESIS OF THIS MASHUP




here is Bobs take on Jeremis Think-Up:

BOB CONGE: My basic concept for customizing Jeremis "Think-Up" was to create a hypothetical  portrait of the psychopathic pediatrician that preformed the unspeakable operations on all those poor unfortunate autopsy babies in the basement of Miscreation Toys. Seeing this Dr. as a sort of modern day Dr. Frankenstein and his monster rolled into one, I thought it only appropriate to add some spooky LED  electronics and a glow in the dark brain cover. While it took a few months to complete, I enjoyed every minute.

here is Jeremis take on Bobs "Legend of Plaseebo" Mummy:

JEREMI RIMEL: Customizing the Plaseebo Mummy was no easy task but was definitely a fun project, for someone as myself who creates rather "unusual" customs, the Legend of Plaseebo Awaken figure is already a true oddity itself. I wanted to make use of the parts as much as I could so I crafted the sarcophagus into a wall-mountable shrine that can hold and display the figure. I also used the sarcophagus to make an additional wearable head-dress accessory. I did some light sculpting work to form a more rotting and worm infested version of the figure. Boney skeletal feet replaced the original legs to have the mummy stand in the shrine base."

GENESIS:

As founders of their own companies, Bob Conge of Plaseebo Custom and Jeremi Rimel of Miscreation Toys have a little more in common then just producing their own art toys, they both love to customize toys as well! They have admired each other's custom figure work for quite some time. Bob owns one of Jeremi's custom pieces called "Shivery Chihuahua Thing" which is a customized Roman Dirge vinyl "Floaty Bear Thing" toy that has been transformed into a whacked out, blind-in-one-eye chihuahua that shivers as you pull its tail. In his vast collection of vinyl toys, Bob calls it one of his favorites. Jeremi is a big fan of Bob's weird toy designs and customs calling some of his favorites "The Chupacabra" custom, Sum, and Son of Sum. Jeremi considers Bob like a mentor as he has given him helpful advice producing toys.
 
Customizing each other's toys was bound to happen, so it just seemed natural that Jeremi suggested they exchange production figures to customize. Bob sent Jeremi one of his "Legend of Plaseebo" mummies in a sarcophagus and Jeremi sent Bob one of the first "Think-Up" busts. During the time they worked on the figures, they didn't show each other exactly what they were up to.
 
A few months later when they had completed the customs, photos were exchanged and it is safe to say they BLEW EACH OTHERS SOCKS OFF! They were impressed enough that they wanted to share it.
