Made for a rock-themed contest, starting like this:
Head: Battle Beasts Horny Toad (modified with Corps! neck ball) Torso: Wild Card '88 Left arm: Wild Card '88 Normal left hand: Wild Card '88 Rocking left hand: Some Spiderman figure Right arm: Lanard Corps! Crowbar Waist: Wild Card '88 Upper right leg: Zanzibar '87 Upper left leg: Wild Card '88 Lower legs: Wild Card '88 Guitare: Playmobil Microphone: Playmobil Singing a ballad for Miss Piggy: Frog sounds like rock, so that's how I got the idea to make a rocking Kermit the Frog. The parts for the body were easily found, I based that look on some iconic rock stars/bands from the 80's: Bruce Springsteen, Aerosmith and Metallica. The head was a more difficult part, I just couldn't decide wether to search for some frog toy or sculpt one from scratch. As you can see I ended up with a sort of frog toy, though it's a toad head. Removed the warts, the original eyes and replaced the eyes with half beads from the crafts store. At first I wanted to make that "rock hand" from a Hydro Viper, but Spiderman's web-spinning hand made things a lot easier. I just had to modify the thumb. Guitare and mic are from a Playmobil figure, they're the right size for this figure. Almost all rock stars have tattoos, so I made one clearly relating to Miss Piggy.
