Last week i did my first custom 3″ Dunny for the Custom Toy Union Battle Bracket! I usually work on my own toy ideas and build up my figures from scratch, but this was a great chance to do a design on a platform toy! I had so much fun to do this little fella! Just finished him in the last minutes before deadline for the battle! Read more about this thrilling competition HERE! at the CTU forums.
