If you didn't know, a lot of us here love Bomberman -- most of us grew up with the game.  I'll let you in on a special secret as well ... Hudson loves Destructoid. There are hundreds of custom Munnys online, but after seeing this one and sharing it with the staff, we all agreed it needed to be shared with you too.

Freelance extraordinaire Albert has a few custom vinyl figures under his belt, including a rather awesome Megaman Munny, Bonk Munny and of course, the beautiful Bomberman pictured above. For some reason the Munny body was perfect for the Bomberman and with a few adjustments to the head, he's turned out fantastic.

Using Super Sculpey, I started off with shaping the head, then the shoes, then the belt. The massive head took a while to shape. I cut off the MUNNY's ears and placed thick layers of sculpey onto the existing vinyl. To balance out the head, I made Bomberman big shoes so that he wouldn't topple over. My sculpting tools included a cylindrical bottle to use as a roller, a kitchen knife, a cheese peeler, and well, that's it. Very simple, nothing special. 

Although Albert says 2008 will be a year for more original work, I hope we see more video game related toys from him. Check out the gallery for a better look -- if you're interested in how it is made, then read all about it on his blog.
