Jon Paul Kaiser Custom Munny "Victorian Policeman"
Top Toy customizer Jon Paul Kaiser had added to Wooly's impressive Police themed custom collection with this Victorian Policeman Mini Munny. Jon has been super busy of late, this is the 3rd custom he has revealed this week, and there is more to come I am sure !! This London Copper was inspired by movies with dour London Coppers from the Victorian age, mulling over Jack the Ripper, Wolfmen or aiding Holmes. Fantastic work yet again from Jon, great work on the expression of the copper. Follow Jon on Twitter ( HERE ) to see what amazing custom he reveals next !
Andrew Bell O-No Sushi Rivet Exclusive
Andrew Bell's Oh-No Sushi is without doubt one of my favorite pieces, and now it is coming out finally in a colourway that is much more suited to Andrews usual creepy style. This lovely grey and bloody colourway is a Rivit exclusive and looks fantastic, coming out limited to 150 pieces, it will be the one to have for all Oh-No fans.
Drilone Custom BIC Buddy " ET "
Drilone's entry into the BIC Buddy custom show at Crewest is a custom you would think you would see more of, but you dont, ET !! He has absolutely killed this custom, fantastic work by Dril, from the sculpting all the way to the finger that has a light in it, he has nailed this custom. ET is without doubt a custom I would like to see more artists tackling, I think everyone has a soft spot for the little lost alien. Follow Dril on Twitter ( HERE ) to see more amazing work from him.
Amanda Visell Month at Kidrobot
Thw 20" Dunny on the other hand is a major waste of a 20" dunny, Simply re-creating the Dunny from Fatale and making a 20" out of it shows a certain lack of creativity from KR. This Zebracorn Dunny will fly off the shelves, Amanda has a huge following, but just think a bit of variation from KR would have been nice for this platform.
AVATAR666 Custom El Panda "Pinguino Mafioso"
There is an awesome amount of work that has gone into this guy, from all the accesories, to the major amount of sculpting. Being a die hard Batman fan, I love this version of the Penguin, think he has captured him perfectly. Have a look at more of Avatar's work ( HERE ) and see some cool WIP shots also.

Jon Paul Kaiser Custom Teddy Troop "Porkins"
What Star Wars fan does not have a soft spot for Red Squadron Pilot Porkins. Now the loveable portly pilot from Star Wars IV: A New Hope has been made into a custom by Jon Paul Kaiser. He has been immortalised in the form of a 3.5" Teddy Troop, done for Some Kind of Joke. Am sure he is really happy with this fantastic piece of custom work. Am loving the bits of red thrown into the mix by Jon, nice addition to his usual black and white style. Very cool piece of work, be sure to follow Jon on Twitter ( HERE ) , he has some big things coming out soon and you dont want to miss out !

Leecifer Thumpalope for 5 Eyed Dragon
Leecifer has taken the very cute Thumper figure and customized it for the Dragatomi 5 Eyed Dragon Show. I really like the Thumper figure, one is actually on its way to me as we speak, and I really love what he has done to this guy.
Turning it into a Jackalope is a genius use of Thumper, and it came out really well, digging the antlers and the colour effects on the figure. See more of his work ( HERE ). This show is looking to be amazing, see flyer below, fantastic array of artists involved.

Drilone Custom Sharky "UW80V Iron Mako"
We have been seeing a few customs for the upcoming 5-Eyed Dragon Dragatomi Show, and here is Drilone's contribution. Also in the show are top customizers SouthernDrawl, Betso, DrilOne, Brent Nolasco and Leecifer. He has taken a Sharky figure and gone to town in his brilliant rusted style, adding in a few barnacles for good measure.
Absolutely love Drilone's style, the way he does his rusted, degraded look is very unique and he does it so well. have a look at more of his work on his Flickr ( HERE )
Nikejerk Custom Munny " Heart Surgeon "
Nikejerk is coming out with a load of customs lately, very busy man, and this is his latest. Heart Surgeon is a portrait Munny based on a clients boyfriend who happens to be a heart surgeon. She provided some images of her boyfriend and this is what came out of it.
As usual with Nikejerk, there are great accesories, 10 in total, all of which can be removed. There is a working light on the head piece, that hinges up and down and left to right. Head gear, glasses and shoes are secured using magnets, a very clever was to attach accesories. He also sewed the scrubs and pants from a pattern, crazy !!
Simply amazing work from Nikejerk, really a lot of work gone into this custom and it shows !!
Kevin Gosselin Custom Munny " Bacon "
After a minor mis-hap and some lessons learned, Kevin has completed his latest custom. Bacon is a 7" Munny, the first time Kevin has worked with this size Munny, and he has come out all kinds of awesome !!
Bacon was made using the Minny, wire, plumber epoxy, screws, polymer clay and leather. As usual with Kevin's customs, a whole lot of work has gone into Bacon, and as a added bonus, Kevin will be releasing a tutorial on his process on how he created this amazing custom, with step by step images showing us how its done. All the accesories and sculpting on this custom are such a labor of love and add so much to this great piece.
Kevin says " Say Hello to Bacon. This little guy tries as hard as he can to be mean. He's even borrowed a bloody halberd and shield from his father but try as he might, deep down inside he's just a sweetie. Bacon is part gorilla, part boar and all around nice guy." Bacon will be on sale soon, so make sure you follow Kevin on Twitter ( HERE ) and go and check out his blog ( HERE ) to have a chance of owning this awesome piece of custom work .

Crestone 3" Custom Dunny Aztec Warrior Blindbox Series
Have missed the boat a bit on this awesome 3" Custom Dunny Aztec Warrior Blindbox Series by Crestone, but we can still have a look at the amazing work done by him. Crestone did this Series on the KR Boards, all you had to do was put your name on the list to be able to grab one of these beauties. They were $65 each, with 7 - 9 designs, a few variants, and at least 2 chases.
A huge amount of work has gone into this series, and the designs are some of the best work I have seen, with a fantastic array of accessories, and loads of sculpting gone into these customs.Accesories include earings, bones, spears, knives, feathers and loin clothes. This really is an unbelievable series from one artist, they begin shipping out soon, but check out the Thread to see if any are left.
