After several months, between work, school, and the wife, I finally finished my Lost Warrior dunnies which mixed Huck Gee’s zombie and samurai. 

Lost Warriors

I made 9 of these and plan on selling 8 of them.  Going to do them blindbox, but still trying to figure out the price.  I am thinking $40-45 shipped.  Want to see if there is interest first.

I am obsessed with making stuff react to blacklight or GID and I included that with these.  Not only do the eyes and mouth react to blacklight, but so does the blood splatter.  They are also numbered, in kanji, on the back of the head and that reacts as well.

Since my last post, I have maybe two more customs.  These used 3″ dunnies for the base.

The first was the Space Kook from the old Scooby-Doo cartoons.  The skull I bought online and cast resin.  The clear head came from a Rainy Day Triclops form the Ye Olde English series that I have to strip the pain off and them repolish.  Though the eyes and the backing behind the head look black, it is actually a mixture of black and fluorescent orange paint.  This causes the eyes to glow orange in the blacklight.  The body paint was mixed with glow-in-the-dark-paint, but the effect did not turn out right.

Here is how I made some shelves for displaying my dunny collection.

The only tools I used was wood glue. I got the wood at Lowes and they cut it for me. Handy since my wife and I live in an apartment and I don’t have power tools.

The design

This makes two shelves (If you need only one use wood shelf the length required and cut the number of pieces required in half):

1x 1″x2″ at 8′ long

1x 1″x4″ at 10′ long

wood glue

sandpaper if you want to sand it down

I recently started a new hobby (or more specifically got back into the hobby) of collecting urban vinyl toys.  Specifically dunnies.  There are a lot of people that take these dunnies and customize them into their own creations.  KidRobot also has  made available DIY figures such as the munny for people to customize. 

I made use of a glow-in-the-dark munny for my first customization, a munny version of Kikaida.  I used rust-oluem auto primer, createx airbrush paint, sharpie poster paint markers, and brush on varnish.

I really haven’t been into comics a lot since I was younger and subscriptions to get all the monthly Superman comics delivered to the house.  Then I went through a period where I would buy just issues #1 of various series because I figured they would be worth a lot without ever knowing about the things like the CGC.  It didn’t really matter because comics went up in price and my allowance didn’t.

Recently, I have been getting back into comics and, more than anything, graphic novels.  One comic that I missed during its original run was Scud: The Disposable Assassin.

Scuds are robotic assassins that people can purchase from vending machines and assign it a target.  The main character of the series is one of these robot assassins sent to kill a creature he ends up calling Jeff.  Scud is all for completing his assignment until he discovers that he is part of the heartbreaker series and will self destruct as soon as his target is killed.  Scud then sets out of earn money and find ways to keep Jeff from dying.

I love Scud and wish it was still running.  Unfortunately, it only lasted 24 issues.  The plus is that every issue of has been complied into Scud: The Whole Shebang which you can order below.
