Recycled Tic Tac Robot - Custom Toy Build

Рет қаралды 60,563

Күн бұрын

This is a little scratch build a little toy mashup. I made this robot from a recycled Tic Tac container a buddy gave me. I also used a Funko Legion Titanfall toy, a McFarlane Toys robot, Gundam bits and some Final Faction parts. This was more of a think through it as you go build and the end result turned out pretty cool!
Here's the link to "How To Use LEDs In A Custom Build - The Easy Way" I used on this Tic Tac Robot:
• How To Use LEDs In A C...
I hope you enjoy this custom toy build video!
Thanks for visiting DR Toys, and as always...
"It's a great day to be a toy nerd!"
Thanks @JohnSteffensboskostoybox for the amazing box of toy bits!

Watching you create this toys is AMAZING. It awakens something inside me that just craves for some kitbashing and painting and all that jazz. I'm a huge Gunpla aficionado and I tend to just build them and just panel line them a lil bit and I'm done, except for a few "details" in silver with a metallic sharpie. But seeing what you make out of some parts and creativity... man... I need to try something like this one of these days. Keep up the awesome content!

I get lots of ideas from you like the guitar string to use in builds and also the magnets for the arms, so cool. I think I am going to actually try this particular project and see how it goes. I just like that you can take the arms off and stuff, and open and close it for the battery. Thanks so much for the ideas Dave! I also am into making toys out of recylced things, very much so!
