Custom Works on TOYSREVIL (Jan/5/2011)

CLCK THRU for a selection of custom toys, including painted platforms, a video-instructional, scratch-built sculpts, and even a paperboy! Do feel free to submit your images and work (for consideration) at toysreviler [at] gmail.com


Willie Veelie Beren's STREET DOG paperboy is available free to download here on http://vapapertoys.weebly.com, which also includes a Blank template for you to create your own design/s - which is always a bonus, as it is absolutely free (besides paper-material, colored ink etc) in the first instance, and one of the swellest form of "toy customization" available online now, IMHO.


October Toys' very own George Gaspar (of Toy Break) puts together an instructional video demonstrating how to put a custom resin Dunny Skull in a Kidrobot UK Rain Dunny (originally designed by Triclops Studios). Clean, concise and clear = I Like. Purchase your own custom Dunny Skull at http://www.etsy.com/shop/OctoberToys‬, and up to yourself to score a Rain Dunny someplace else ;p



Artist Aaron Martin aka Angrywoebots releases a series of custom-painted 4 x 3" Dunnys named MONO DUN DUNS available for US$150 per here on http://armyofsnipers.blogspot.com - make your choice of (L-R): A, B, C and D.


Illustrator and Graphic Designer from Mexico, Luis Alberto Lepine has shared with us some images of his custom work (which can currently been seen on Facebook - which are actually sculpted from scratch in epoxy clay, and hand-painted by himself. The rustic vibe is pretty cool, and the ability to be created "away" from needing an independent base-form is interesting (and frees up the customizer from the cost of procuring a base-form in the first place).


Luis adds (unedited): "(The) toys I make are for collectors and can make any design you have in mind now in mexico culture art toy is starting there is not much but I hope in the future as he grows in Asia or Europe"



YETI UNIVERSITY customed-Dunny by Bill Betsovic aka Betso is pretty well delightful, methinks. Tis just too bad we do not see too often of his work, and wide-eyed characters - riddled with wonderful pathos LOL



Artist Jeremiah Ketner aka Small and Round reveals images of his privately commissioned custom-painted 20 inch tall Mega Dunny on his flickr-stream - simply titled "In this moment we are one" (Acrylic on Vinyl), and well, it is simply ravishing, innit? Truly a vinyl figure being used as a painting canvas, with no forms altered, IMHO.
