"Mr. Johnson" Custom Kidrobot Munny Figure

October 7, 2016

I recently finished this custom-painted Kidrobot Munny figure inspired by my favorite Sesame Street muppet, "Mr. Johnson". He was the continually-disgruntled customer at Grover's diner. Grover, as an overworked waiter, would mess up his order every time and Mr. Johnson would be left brimming with disappointment. To me, Mr. Johnson represents the Every-Adult politely taking absurd punch after punch and but still returning to the same diner in hopes of finally getting satisfaction.

My rendition of Mr. Johnson is a re-paint of a Marvel "Venom" Kidrobot Munny collectible vinyl figure. I used acrylic paint, Sculpy polymer clay (for the nose), and reclaimed stuffed animal fur for the hair. Below are some progress shots:
