Best In Show Munny for Munnyworld Megacontest by Sergio Mancini

Brazilian artist Sergio Mancini of Red Mutuca won the Top Prize of BEST IN SHOW for his entry in the Munnyworld Megacontest with his PROJECT:MUNNY entry, and wins an 18-inch Munny (which he mentioned he'll do another custom of) and as well a spot in Kidrobot's Dunny 2012 Series! How cool is that?

These were the judges comments: "There are many aspects to why this piece is so brilliant, both in concept and execution. The clever concept really displays the true form of MUNNY. By taking the idea of "doing it yourself" crossed with a monkey character (inspiration for the platform), the simplicity of the platform is truly respected in this highly controlled custom. The striking execution is spot on and looks like a production piece already. You can tell the artist had his eyes on the prize, and was intent on taking a spot in Dunny Series 2012 when conceiving this design. Who wouldn't want this little guy in their collection. I do!"


TOYSREVIL had asked Sergio for his personal impressions of the win, to which he answered (having just got out of bed): "I got really surprise when I receive the news about the contest. I have never imagined that I would win it because some great customs started popping up in the Munny's page. Actually, to convince such important judges is not an easy job to do. I made 3 customs for this contest. I was going to send only 2, but I decided to make one more at the last moment because I had an extra Munny! The idea and execution came up so fast, so that it had no accessories and modeling. It had only a concept."


[P/S: This custom-Munny has since been sold before the announcement of the contest]
