The "Unlucky Munnies" is our new series of 4" munny customs (Kidrobot). Two of them were already part of the first projects for the Munnyworld Megacontest 2011, but due to time constraints we decided to make only the "Vampirized". Given its success (awarded "Best Minimalist Design"), we decided to make the remaining two and expand the series with other new ideas.

So the series "Unlucky Munnies. In the wrong place, at the wrong time" is mainly made on 6 Munnies (Kidrobot) and then accompanied by other characters of the same group (Trikky, Bub, Foomi).
These unfortunate DIY toys have found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time, and therefore were "Vampirized", "Werewolfed", "Zombified", "Facehugged", "Assimilated" and choose the "Dark Side" of the Force.

The "Vampirized" is a twin of the winner one, maybe bitten during the night by the same vampire too. The "Werewolfed" was infected by the scratch of a werewolf (this happens when you leave a Munny unattended on the window sill). "Zombified" is a living corpse of a Munny, gradually decaying and hungry for Munny-flesh. "Facehugged", "Assimilated" and "Dark Side" were Space travellers, but also in deep Space you can be really unfortunate: so the first one was attacked by an Alien's facehugger, the second one met the Borgs and the third one was too angry and scared and a Sith probably persuaded him.

The 31th of may Kidrobot and its judges published the results of the Munnyword Megacontest 2011, and we're glad to announce that our "Vampirized" Munny won in the "Best Minimalist Design" category. In addition, also other two of our customs reached a bit of glory: 2nd place in the "Best Animal Design" category for "Apartment Bat" and 3rd place in the "Most Innovative" category for the "Living City" Munny. Our biggest compliments to the brazilian artist Sergio Mancini for the Best in Show prize.

At the end of april we completed our seven Munny customs (4 inches) for the Munnyworld Megacontest organized by Kidrobot. They're now online on the contest's website, and everyone can see them  and "like" them on page 3 (scrolling down to the middle of the page). At the end of may, Kidrobot will reveal the main winner and the winners of each category (click here).

Our designs are: "Sand snake's dinner" (an "unlucky Munny"), "Living City", "Apartment Bat", "Vampirized" (another "unlucky Munny"), "Cupboard dweller", "Munny's Freedom" (the marionette Munny) and "Concrete cleaner".

The 23th of april 2011 we went to Fribourg (CH), after passing a selection in march, to realize a Munny custom during the Asphalt Kreatorz contest at the Cafè Le XXeme. We realized a double coustom using the 7 inches Munny (Kidrobot), provided by the organizators, and a 4 inches Munny, that we transformed in a Dunny. 

We used a quick drying modelling paste, spray paint, markers and so on, and in 7 hours we created our personal interpretation about the controversial genesis of the two characters. :-P ...so the big Munny became a sort of Egg and the small Munny (transformed in a Dunny) became the little chick coming out from the egg. The organizators gave us the first place. :-)

Which came first, the Munny or the Dunny?
