The first time I saw a mighty mugg, I knew that they would be perfect for customizing. I am currently working on a Megaman. Here is a perfect example of the awesomeness that can come from these unique figures. XenaObsessed has created this great Master Chief Might Mugg which can be purchase from her Etsy store. I notice that a lot of people sell their customs, but I like to keep mine. I guess when I start running out of room, I will start selling them.

Wii Fit Experiment
Mickey DeLorenzo decided to run an experiment with Wii Fit to see how much he could lose in 45 days. The results are pretty impressive. After 45 days, he managed to lose 15 pounds and he dropped his body fat from 20.8% to 18.4%. He admits that doing any kind of exercise for 60 minutes a day would give similar results, but Wii fit made it "especially easy." Check out Wii Fit Experiment to see all the results and video.

Kodykoala's Custom Koala Crash Soopa and Animation
Here is my latest Soopa Coin-up Bros. Custom. I combined my love on animation, koalas, electronics, video games and vinyls into one compact little piece. Check out the pictures on My Flickr. I used an old Gameboy Advance SP that I had lying around and an EZFLASH III. I think it came out very well, even though the video is a little grainy. I am going to post the actual cartoon on my website or on youtube eventually, but for now, here is the video of the cartoon:

Quiet on the front
Sorry it has been a while since I have posted, but I have been out of town for work, and I might be going to Hawaii for my job, so I haven't had time to do any customs or look up anything cool. I decided to spend time with my family since my stay in Hawaii will be about a month. I have a bunch of great ideas in mind, but I need the time to work on them. Here is a sample of my next Soopa. It is a Dookie Poo rip off, but I love the style. Since I am still trying to learn techniques, I think it is ok. The only difference is that I am using a GBA for the screen instead of an ipod. I know I will get a lot of crap for copying another artists idea, but I want one, and I don't want to spend the $1000 to pick it up, so I thought I would make one. I will have video and everything when I get it done.

Kodykoala's Custom Homestarrunner Soopa
Check out my latest custom Soopa/Munny. I made a custom Bubs Munny, and then I made the Soopa to be his concession stand. It took me a while to get the idea together, but I think it came out great. The hardest part was probably figuring out what to make the counter top out of. Check out pictures of my Bubs Munny and my Bubs' Concession Stand

KodyKoala's Lakitu Custom Munny
Check out my latest custom. This is my first try at sculpting actual parts for a munny. The idea was really good, but I think the follow through lacked a little bit. I could have done a lot better job on the nose and the glasses, but Epoxy putty is so hard to work with and it dries so fast. I think I may have to invest in some Milliput instead. Maybe that will work better. For what it's worth, this was still a great learning experience, and hopefully the next sculpt will be better. I also had to switch Clear Coats. I use to use this stuff that I found at Wal-Mart, but they stopped carrying it. I switched to Automotive Clear Coat. It seems to work good, but I have to be careful because it likes to clump. Check out all the pictures on My Flickr.

What Kind of Geek Are You?
Wired had this really amusing article about What kind of geek are you? I am probably Gadget Guy with some Gamer, and a Little bit of Fanboy. The scary thing is that I actually use to date an Otaku. She matched the description almost perfectly. Obviously we fall a little into each category, but it is funny to read about the extremes. Check it out!

My Little Master Chief Pony
I am all about video game customs, but this is a little out there. Here is a one of a kind Master Chief My Little Pony made by Anime_Amy. It is an interesting piece, but I am not sure I like it enough to drop over $100, which is what the eBay auction is up to. This type of custom is not my cup of tea, but I know a lot of people who are really into unique and out there things, so I wanted to highlight this unique find.

KodyKoala's Yo! Noid Soopa Custom
Check out my latest custom vinyl. I decided to pull out some nostalgia by doing this Soopa Coin Up Bros. Vinyl with the old game Yo! Noid. I really love this DIY kit by ESCToys. I was really inspired, and though it didn't come out exactly how I wanted it, it came out really nice. For more pictures, check out my Flickr Page.

Post your Resume to your Tee
There are so many different ways to get your resume noticed. Some that I can think of is posting it online, giving it to your high ranking relative, or even spamming it across the internet. Here is a unique way to show it off no matter where you are. The Resume Tee is designed by BlackBird Custom Tees is an interesting idea and a great way to think outside of the box when it comes to getting your resume out there.

KodyKoala's Toad Munny!
I have been really motivated lately to paint Vinyl, so I am going to show off my Toad Munny from Super Mario Bros. I love the way the face came out. The cool thing is that I was featured on That Girl's Site, which is cool because nobody has every really seen my stuff. My piranha Plant Munny was also featured on Tomopop. I can't wait to finish my next great idea!

Make your Refrigerator Greener
No I am not talking about making your refrigerator friendlier for the environment, though that would be a good idea too. I am talking about making you fridge look more like a tree by adding these interesting leaf magnets. I would want to make my ice box so hidden with leaves that it would be impossible to see it next to the stove...wait I mean in the middle of the forest...wait, what am I going to do with a refrigerator in the middle of nowhere? Well, whatever the case, this is an interesting idea.

Operate on the Hulk?
Have you ever dreamed of doing surgery on a big green super hero, but didn't know where to find one? I have a great board game for you. Check out this limited edition Hulk Operation game. I have seen the Homer Simpson one, the Shrek Operation and even the one that has been made out of a munny, but this is one of my favorites. When you hit the side, Hulky's eyes light up green. I may have to pick this one up when I see it, but so far Hasbro has not put out anything on pricing or availability.

KodyKoala's Piranha Plant Munny
Usually I post about cool toys that other people have made, but today I am showing one of my own. I just finished it this weekend, and I think it came out awesome. This is my Piranha Plant, and you can see more pictures at Flickr. Tell me what you think, I love getting feedback and comments on what I can do better!
