[PRESS] Straight from the crate of The Beast Brothers Museum archives - 8” Calendario Azteca Gold Edition! The most sought after design in the Dunny Azteca 2 Mini Series is now supercharged into a larger-than life custom. This insanely detailed 8” custom is hand painted and adorned with Swarovski Crystals. And each artifact is packaged in a laser engraved wooden box. Just like the gold version in the series, this custom will be very rare. It will only be available for sale Friday, April 8th for ONLY 24 HOURS. After that, the golden calendar will be buried forever.

No, this is not a pic of the NYC subways circa 1982. It is actually the latest work created by Dril One for the Above the Radar show at Crewest on display now through May 1. This one-off graffiti customized model train and station is jam packed with dirty details and a refreshing direction for Drils.

Atomic Books in Baltimore has done it again. They recently opened their annual custom show, VINYLMORE 4. Like the previous years, they presented a diverse display of outstanding custom MUNNYs from all walks of talent. Local and national artists came together for this community driven art show. Check out more pics from the opening reception on Flickr.

Volkwagen’s make great canvas, or so thinks French graffiti artist, MIST with his new customized VW Beetle. As a featured highlight for his solo show at Galeria Le Fleuvre in Paris, this work of art on wheel’s leaves us wondering, “When’s the production model coming out?”

Artist, Jason Limon rarely applies his beautiful brushwork to art toys, but his new custom MUNNY, Elapse is a good example of why he should keep them coming. This 7-inch one-of-a-kind was created with acrylics and commissioned for a lucky collector.

The custom craziness continues with new FOOMIs and KRACKAs reworked by artists Heidi Kenney, Leecifer, Lunabee, Ryan the wheelbarrow, Joe Scarano and Dril One. These one of a kind creations will be featured at the Kidrobot stores starting April 1 and will be available for purchase at the stores.

Don’t forget, tomorrow is the worldwide release of the 2 newest additions to the MUNNYWORLD family: FOOMI & KRACKA. We got some huge plans for these two, so stay tuned.

Step 1: Used Sclupey to make the grooves of the balloon panels, and baked the head to harden the clay.

Step 2: Made the basket out of chip board and tape.

Step 3: Glue strips of brown jewelry string vertically along the outside of the basket.

Step 4: Drew the pattern of the checker squares on the head, then painted.

Step 5: Used hot glue and wire to create the frame of the basket to fasten to the head. Then wrapped the wire in more brown jewelry string. Then hot glued the frame to the bottom of the head.
