For about three years I have had this idea to take a Barbie and turn her into an android. I can find Barbie's cheap at garage sales so why not make a custom toy out of one. Well, Bad Barb fought me to the end. Everything I thought would be great turned out awful but I wasn't gonna let Bad Barb get the best of me, so I fought back!
Using a Zurg arm from the Buzz Lightyear movie and a little custom toy magic, I took this Barbie and made one Bad Barb! I also added a simple diorama base for her to stand on.
Even though she was a pain, the end result turned out pretty cool (although not at all what I was thinking in my head).
I hope you enjoy this custom toy build video!
Thanks for visiting DR Toys, and as always...

This build is really inspiring for me. It's not "nice" to see someone struggle with a build, but it's a reminder that none of us are perfect and that everyone, whether new at crafting or a veteran, can have those builds that just get away from them. I admit it was scary in the middle there, but it was exciting to see how you recovered and you did a fantastic job! A great build and a wonderful reminder to just keep pushing through and you'll get there! Thank you!

😂 yeah, it got a little weird there I. The middle… Thanks, I appreciate you thoughtful comment.

Man that first warrior paint job was absolutely awesome, would love to see a second attempt at that one! The final result is great as well, makes me think she's some kind of battle droid that doesn't actually want to fight, it just wants to be found pretty. I made one of these cybarbie dolls about 3 months back and they're loads of fun to build, but the anime eyes are definitely a pain to work around. I opted to just cover the eyes up with a visor but the idea of painting them smaller is actually kind of genius, keep up the good work!

Thanks, yeah I was going for a more human figure with robotic parts so I definitely want to give it another shot.

A lot of us struggle with our builds. The magic of editing makes the KZfaqrs we watch seem perfect. It was nice to see one where you had to fight with it and it didn't go how you wanted it. Sure, all your videos shouldn't be like this, but thank you for sharing a tough one. Makes me feel a little better about my own work. Besides, I think she turned out really good, even if she was more android than cyborg. Well done!

without joking, if this were a new toy for sale that Mattel would sell, it would be the first doll/action figure that would fascinate boys and girls at the same time. is like if the Barbie franchise amalgamated with Max Steel, with all its villains and accessories with a gritty, tone. that would be cool
