What is a munny ghostbuster? A munny is a cute plastic toy that you decorate and paint yourself. I picked up the small plastic figure and had to make a ghostbuster out of it. Here's what i did.




You can check out the Munny site here:

i want one.... but theres no way i would be able to make that. i cant paint or draw to save my life

[Ray Stanz GB]

dude,

your talented, you should make a few of them and sell em on ebay or on here. sure you could make more money on them than you spend to make them.

I really like how you made the face with the outline of the ecto goggles!

That's fantastic - I've been wanting to try my hand at a Munny for awhile.
The pack of marshmallows is the best part.

Love the Stay-Puft bag.

[hawaiiangb]

thanks for the kind words....I have a bigger munny and I plan to make stay puft out of him......But first I think i'll get more sleep.

Holy crap..that's so cool. I'm checking out this Munny site... it's fascinating. I may get the big one and turn him into something like stay puft (not to steal from you) or onionhead

what do you use for accessories?

The Spirit of munny modding is that everyone gets to take a crack at it - it's hard to consider it "stealing" and idea, since lots of people have the same idea;

An onion head would be cool - what would you do with the body (maybe collage it, so Slimer is sitting on a body shaped column of food)

Wait... are they mold-able? Like clay?

[hawaiiangb]

no they are not moldable....but a soft vinyl....they can be cut with a sharp xacto knife. Paints, markers, etc work well on them....however some paints react with the vinyl....best to test first....I think the best is to wash them in dishwashing soap first to get off the mold release agent. Some people prime them...but i just paint straight on the plastic and then clear coat spray it after. There is a big following with these types of collectible dolls...alot of graffiti artists like to dabble in these vinyl mods. One of my favorite artists does these wicked pandas. He goes by angstwoebots on the http://www.urbanztoys.com site.

you guys have no idea how enthralled i am by this.

[juanki33]

HOw u manage to do the Pack and the trap ???

[bradboss12]

That is cool! Thanks for the post. Are you doing all 4, or just a representative one?

[hawaiiangb]

nah...just going to do the one ghostbuster....I hate doing the same thing twice...so making 3 more packs...i just can't see myself doing it. But i did do larger sized figures. The munny also comes in 8 inch sizes. Here's my childhood hero "jiro". He's a japanese superhero who turns into Kikaida...do a google if you are curious.

I also did a rainbowman...another japanese superhero...these guys were on the air about 30 years ago.

I also did a Spock from star trek....and a Mr Checkers who hosted a kids show here in Hawaii...which had cartoons in it. If you are interested I will post those later.

[bradboss12]

post away! They look cool! I wanted to get those new figures from McDonalds and kit bash them, but my wife gave me "the look" so, that probably won't happen...

[Ray Stanz GB]

wives and girlfriends are just jealous that we have hobbies. Screw "the look" is what i say and do (however my couch is very comfortable...lol)
