Son

Bring on the 'botness! Eleven ‘bots from the KR ‘hood have gathered to be 3-inch vinyl versions of Kidrobot’s classic icon. Stylized and suited up to resonate awesome, these fresh figures articulate at the head and arms, and are dressed to fit their different personas – punks, gangsters, boxers – you name it! What gangster sleeps with a Teddy bear? KidGangster, that’s who! And who carries a crowbar? Only the perfect KidVandal. Jam out with KidPunk, rob a bank with KidPrisoner, or tag your KR pride with KidBomber. By day I work as a motion designer. By night I make customs. I got into doing customs toys in 2010, and what started as a hobby has turned into a lot more. I strive to do things I haven’t seen before. Custom toys are the only medium I’ve been able to look at, see exactly what I want in my head and then create it. My work technique ranges from the extraction of shapes, to threading, to the insertion of toothpicks or blocks. Regardless of the method, I always want my work to stand out. My customs have been shown at NYCC via Toy2R, as well as in several West Cost shows. Some of my pieces have been sold in the New York Kidrobot store, however, if you’re in the market for one of my customs you may want to check out memakestore.com Follow my progress on customs via my Twitter account. @carsoncatlin CCC
