Joseph Ayala's Custom 7" Skeleton Munny Astounds!
Relative newcomer Joseph Ayala is making a big splash on the custom toy scene with his simply fantastic looking 7-inch-tall Skeleton Munny. Created using an assortment of paint techniques, precision cutting, and immaculate sculpting, this has become the prototype figure in a series of 10 customs Ayala has just begun work on.
If note on the head the stylized zero, that will be replaced with the limitation numbering (1 to 10) for the final release series. Someone had commented to Ayala that this resembles some of the work of DrilOne — which I can vaguely see in regards to the ribcage element and cut out skull — which caused Ayala to go into a panic, contacting DrilOne to make sure he wasn't 'stepping on any toes.' And, of course, DrilOne gave his blessing, mentioning that it was only a passing resemblance.
Not to send Ayala into another panic attack, but this actually makes me think of the cut-out work of Gregory Lee (aka Greg Loves Toast) much more than DrilOne. But fret not, Ayala, for I think your design is still unique enough that you have no reason to worry.
Ayala is not taking preorders on this series, but rather will release them via a Big Cartel Store when all are completed. Interested parties should give him a follow on Twitter to keep updated on this design.
