I entered Toycustomizer's Toy line crossover custom contest last month. (It's over now, but they have a new one up now)
For this contest I wanted to go back to early childhood. I searched around for some Little People figures not realizing that they've been completely changed and now have arms and legs. I grew up with the pegs that had a ball for a head figures so that's what I wanted to make. Fearing that it would take way too long to find vintage Little People, I decided I could just make them myself. I grabbed 2 wooden dowels and some small wooden balls and started cutting, sanding and painting. I used Apoxie for the Baroness' hair, Cobra Commander's Helmet and Destro's collar. It took about two days to put this all together. WIP pic: I present, Fish n Prize's Tiny Cobras! Finished Pics: I wound up liking these so much that I've decided to try to find some actual vintage little people and make some more customs. So far I've had one toy seller/collector tell me they've apparently gotten popular lately and sell for a few bucks per figure now so it may be a little while before I find any at a price I want to pay Last edited by Shogi; 10-11-2011 at 10:55 AM.. |

Very cool & clever stuff!
I bet if you took a pic of Cobra Commander from behind, he would look like a blue penis. |
