Custom-Feature: 8" Dunny and Munny from Markie Darkie
This duo of customized 8" tall Dunny and Munny from Markie Darkie is, well, quite simply awesome, and makes my miserable command of vocabulary seem pre-school in use. Here are oddles of images to gawk at, as well a quick Q&A with the artist!

TOYSREVIL: Was there any theme to these customs?
MARKIE DARKIE: Most of my clients give me the creative freedom when I work on commissioned pieces. I often ask them about colour palettes and they pretty much leave the rest up to me. I’ve been told my work is distinctively psychedelic.
TOYSREVIL: Where you listening to any particualr song/s when you customed them?
MARKIE DARKIE: Not a song, rather a Musical lol. This might sound weird but I was bored and came across Phantom of the Opera on Netflix prior to customizing the figures. That’s how the idea of the Masked Phantom (Dunny) and Phantom Skull (Munny) custom theme came about. I guess I somehow managed to twist the concept and translate it to custom figures. hahahaah
