The disturbing dolls, frankenstein of Star Wars

When a server was a kid, liked to replace the head of my "clicks" for a rubberoctopus sold in kiosks, creating my own doll: man-octopus. And it's something wevery much: take the parts of a broken doll (or break it on purpose) to createweapons and other accessories for the dolls. Or in some cases, combine them into toys quite different from what its creator intended.

Of course there are those who keep doing more and decides to share with everyone the results of these crazy mixes. This is the case of Brad and StacyRader, a marriage that has become the custom of children in the art of creating"mini-sculptures postmodern" where The Star Wars is one of his main inspirations.

They are called "Battle Babies" and the thing started, as we guess, by chance.The couple, both collectors of dolls, used as a base plastic babies of 60 and 70, which adds complements the 80 toys such as Transformers, GI Joe, Masters of the Universe, Star Wars figures from Kenner and muñecajos of the Chinese. They have created a total of 30 pieces sold for between 6 and 50 euros.

The centerpiece of his collection is the TIE Fighter-headed kid, you can see the head of the post and, frankly, gives a bit of bad feeling.





Was not Luke who lost his arm? Is it maybe you can be crushed? What on earth is this?


finally, the bear-grenade, the combination that gave rise to all this, and that aroused the interest of several buyers. What would it its creators and other fans of the couple?

The pieces based on the galactic saga are the most popular, but not limited to: we have creations of all types and condition, they drink from other sources of pop culture.





Exit the King Kong Express Atocha! The monkey king has a new method of transportation, much faster than a leg.




The concept is beyond us: a raccoon / excavator carrying a child-cyborg in awooden throne.And with laser cannon!

You can find the figures currently on sale here, and images of the already sold here,with photos of many jewels and rest in the houses of some lucky owner. You knowfriends have to be respectful to the environment and recycle everything. Even thetoys.
