Munn-day Morning Recap: Lucky collectorsMunn-day Morning Recap is back after an unintentional vacation caused by me being busy, ready to show off the cool Munnys and Dunnys you may or may not have seen in the past few weeks. As always, these are customs that weren't highlighted in individual posts on Tomopop, but were still worth bringing to your attention. And if it's not morning where you are ... then just remember; it's always morning when you wake up, even if it's 11:30 in the evening. This week's got a few new customs, with 75 percent more commissioned/contest pieces! That of course means you can't own these, and that's sad, because they're all fantastic. Hit the jump and check them all out!
Custom Munny by Tharp Let's start with the custom from the header. It's from our old buddy Tharp, and this piece was actually part of a drawing he had at his San Diego Comic Con booth. The winner got a custom Munny as a prize and got to pick the color palette. The end result turned out pretty well, I think; see how many faces you can find in the Munny's face!
Mushroom Serpents by 64Colors New from our friends at 64Colors is an 8" Dunny for a collector who commissioned it, done in their usual style that ends up making the piece look like an oil painting was wrapped around it. I love the little serpent dudes floating around the tree and its branches. Perhaps we will see them again? In the meanwhile, see more photos of the custom on 64Colors' Flickr.
Chinese Rice Bowl Munny by AW177 Now, if I remember right, AW177 did a 3" Chinese Rice Bowl Dunny not too long ago, but this one is bigger and better. He's done a similar custom on an 8" Munny, still maintaining the glazed look with the paint job while allowing some of the details to be made larger. He's got chopsticks, too, which can be Velcroed to one hand. Looking awesome! Check out more photos here!
Zombie Mega Munny by Tadeo Mendoza
Finally, we have an awesome Mega Munny from Mexico's Tadeo Mendoza. He's a new name to me, but I'm already impressed by his work, mixing cute and macabre pretty well with the zombie theme. I like the purse accessory being include, and the bugs painted on the Munny are perhaps real enough to frighten you, so be warned!
