Jedi Vector Master Hydro 74 takes his mighty black pen to the glorious vinyl MUNNY and documents the progress for a new installment of Custom Control. Building up with graphite then finishing off with ink, these dynamic black and white works have his sick hand style written all over them, literally. Do yourself a favor and take a moment to check out more of the Orlando based designer’s incredible illustrations on his website or follow him @Hydro74 on Twitter and Instagram for more work-in-progress pics as they develop.

SF artist Tony Gil recently showed off his customizing skills at Kidrobot San Francisco’s first MUNNY Designing Session and he continues to do so with his latest custom, Free Runner Diamond Kid. Although now sold out, Free Runner Diamond Kid was Tony’s first custom 7-inch Kidrobot mascot and he did a super limited series of 5.

“Caught in action, perfectly balanced on one hand and spraying the town with the other. Jumping and climbing walls as if he were spiderman. Good luck catching him as he is fast and furious.”

Enjoy his cool time lapse video of Tony digitally sketching this kick ass custom concept.

Spawned from the new blog Battle of the Mascots, comes an upcoming ‘Bots custom series — Good vs Evil! Based on the Kidrobot figure as a platform for customizing, active KR Forums members, Don P and Sekure D have started showcasing the endless possibilities of what customizers can do with our mascot. This May, they are bringing a plethora of global customizing talent to an all new hand crafted blind box series.

What exactly is this battle you might ask, well this is how they explain it…

“The battle is representative of the eternal struggle between Good and Evil. There are two teams captained by myself who is fighting for Good and Don P who is fighting for Evil. We have enlisted through the method of a blind hat pull 4 additional team members each to help get us across the line and defeat the opposing team!”

The series will have Team Evil consisting of  JC Rivera, J FURY, Nikejerk, Commandante and Don P while Team Good has Fuller, MatCanDraw, Hugh Rose, Alex Break and Sekure D. No exact date is set, but we know these bad (and good) boys will be dropping in May, so keep your eyes peeled and join the discussion here.

Nautical Inspired Customs By Hugh Rose

It’s all about the details with illustrator Hugh Rose’s new nautical inspired customs. Hugh fed off  his home town in the Channel Islands off the coast of France to create these gorgeous new commissioned works. The Diver is a 7-inch MUNNY with hidden details including ghostly skull in the helmet and the number 8. As a spin off to his sold out False Idol’s series, the duo Shipwreck is on a 7-inch MUNNY with a luckless sidekick Marshall, both inspired by the 8-inch Dunny known as The Navigator. All of these stunning pieces were sculpted with Milliput and plasticard, painted with Citadel Colour Liquitex, and finished with 2 coats of Liquitex Gloss Varnish. Back in 2010, Hugh earned 2nd place for Best of Show in our huge MUNNYMUNTH Contest. Indulge in more of Hugh’s amazing designs on his website, Facebook and Flickr page or feel free to email him directly to commission your very own wondrous creation.

“The pieces contain a lot of references to my home island, for example, the bird constellation in the night sky on the Munny and the Marshall’s lifebelt are Cormorants, a bird native to Guernsey. The long eel on the oar held by the Munny is a Conger Eel, also a character in the unique landscape of Guernsey.” -HR

 

Task One’s Damaged Goods

Not just thinking, but busting outside of the proverbial box, Task One’s latest creation takes tagging on a TYO Truck to a whole new 3D level of custom awesomeness. Recently posted on the Kidrobot Forums, “Damaged Goods” is adorned with a ton of realistic details including woode floor boards on the inside, mudflaps with lady silhouette, grit and grime along every inch with “Wash Me” written on the back door and a functional LED light and switch.

The kicker to this custom story is Task took this bad boy to work to have his accomplice Brad Topolewski shoot these wonderful photos and on the way back home he accidentally left the box on the Denver Light Rail. I’m sure it made some lucky commuter’s day.
