Funky Maclunkey

A RUclips Channel dedicated to Funky Maclunkey, and all the toys I make. The channel will focus on my vintage-style custom action figures, the weird stuff I have in my collection, and a healthy dose of social commentary MOSTLY related to toys and collector culture. So hit that subscribe button, OK?
SHENANIGANS in the Custom Toy Community!
Guys and Gals, you know I ain't about the drama in the collecting community - we're all grown-ups playing with toys here, so we shouldn't take ourselves too seriously, right? But I was alerted to something this morning that kinda got under my skin, so I gotta say something about it.
I am fully prepared for the legion of trolls who will inevitably descend upon me and my comments section, but I'm just speaking some no-BS truth here with nothing but positive intentions. So let's keep it friendly, let's keep it real, and let's all refrain from name-calling and mud-slinging, OK?

Slicing Articulated Action Figures for 3D Resin Printing
Просмотров 826Месяц назад
So I get asked pretty regularly for advice on how to print the action figure parts and pieces that I sell, specifically how I support them and slice them. I've always resisted the urge to do a tutorial video and instead pointed people to the many videos that already exist out there. The problem though seems to be that though there are plenty of resin printing tutorials out there, not many of th...
Check Out the Paint Work of Keepers Kustoms!

As I've said before, I'm a real bum when it comes to painting my own figures - I have a backlog of my own designs (and some from Trash Compactor and Vivid Motion too!) that I just haven't made the time to paint. So when a painter like Steven at Keepers Kustoms steps up to the plate to help me out...I'm more than happy to let him! Check out the figures he painted for me and if you'd like him to ...

The Fantastic Paint Work of Ouroboros Customs!

I always get asked "Hey Funky, do you sell fully-painted figures?" And the vast majority of the time, I say "no" mainly because I just simply don't have the time! But also, at this point...there are a handful of really super-talented painters-for-hire out there that will paint my figures for you much more beautifully that I could anyway. So why the heck would I bother? ;) One such amazing paint...
How to Make Display Backdrops on the Cheap!

In one of my recent videos, I managed to show everyone how messy the walls behind by glass-backed display cases were. That was enough motivation for me to do something about it! So in this video, I give a brief rundown of how I managed to get great looking backdrops for all my displays for pretty darn cheap. Hope it helps!

Episode 1 Retro Collection Figures!

In a recent video, I talked about Hasbro's Star Wars Retro Collection and how it seems to suffer from a bit of an identity crisis.

Do You Know If Your 3D Printed Figures are Safe?
Просмотров 3525 месяцев назад
I've seen some disturbing photos out there lately that make me afraid that there are folks out there operating as print shops for fans, who are NOT taking resin printing safety precautions seriously. A poor printing process can lead to: 1. Customers getting lackluster products 2. The print-maker running a contaminated and unsafe workshop 3. Customers being exposed to toxic, uncured resin This i...

After my last few videos, a few eagle-eyed viewers sent me questions about various items they saw in the background. So, I decided I might as well do a series of short videos that highlight random areas of my collection just for fun. First up, it's a look into my increasingly-crowded Mos Eisley Cantina!

Hasbro's Star Wars RETRO Series - a Feathered Fish?
Просмотров 6625 месяцев назад
In my last video, I compared the packaging of Hasbro's Star Wars RETRO series to that of Mattel's Masters of the Universe ORIGINS line. Well, now I'm going a bit deeper into the RETRO series specifically, and asking the question "what are these really supposed to BE, anyway?" And lest you think I'm a dude who will complain about something without offering solutions, think again! I really think ...

Hey it's the Funky Maclunkey RUclips Channel!
Sorry man, I hate design theft. He blocked me 2 yrs ago because I tried to tell him to be civil in the comments on my YT page (a glowing review of one of his figures BTW). He started cussing out a commenter and then me. Great figures but I’m done with him. Good of you to clarify the situation for your followers.
Whats the weird sculpture behind you with the holster? Looks like the legs turn in on themselves.
@@TheNext17 Oh that’s just my good pal Assy McGee! ruclips.net/video/Q6-OHrlFs2o/видео.htmlsi=UXU5ouhELxLz-GiY
@@funkymaclunkey That's crazy! :) :)
Bad Batch Asajj please!
Man. Didn’t know this existed. I love all the Star Wars figures made by all of you guys! Fulfills my childhood dreams with all the stuff you guys do!
Internet nerd drama. The worst kind. I know it well my friend.
Displays definitely need backdrops
I purchased one of your figures. FANTASTIC work my guy!
Great video! Do more!
Nice collection! Wow!
The Bossk is really striking!
When you display your figures in glass baseball bat boxes like that do you have to dust them every month? What is the maintenance like?
I said the same thing, The Acolyte was like a Trek fans idea of what Star Wars should be. Jedi are like cops enforcing laws on every planet, investigating murders, detaining people, etc. Not to mention that lightsabers were like a last resort to this hand-to-hand combat that we've never really seen. I'd accept it as a lost art if it was more in tune with the abilities of a force user.
I want a Mon Mothma in a Metal Bikini, with Saggy Boobs and Wrinkles. Get To It!
they have a small selection of vallejo products at hobby lobby greenville tx
Fantastic stuff! Congrats. Great sculpts and paint jobs! So cool.
Thank you!
Question, what would the original kenner team would say it they saw these? And do you think they would be saying " repaints!,mix and match parts!! WHY DIDN'T WE THINK OF THAT!! " LOL
So COOL !
I received one like ur saying tacky to the touch ,so I just simply used baby wipes gave it a good go over dry then painted it and it turned out fine.
@@BanthaPooDoo64 that's great! Sometimes the tackiness is resin that was cured and therefore safe, but the print just wasn't completely dried/cleaned before curing. In those cases, wiping as you did is sufficient.
I just dig hearing what you're going to be working on! I do like the Hollywood Monsters I grabbed off your cults... and I haven't printed the TaunTaun yet... gotta get that done... Too busy with work and my own figures.
I was told, some time ago, to always make sure my angle degree was always 47... no idea if it actually makes any difference at all. My figs are constantly plagued with support pocks... hate it.
Never heard the 47 degree rule before - that sounds made up! :) The key I've found to reducing the support pocks is to adjust the side and penetration depth of the support tips to get the right balance between strength and minimal size. Try messing with the support tips!
thanks for the video! its great seeing this for Figures.
brilliant!
Great video thank you. A lot of these same principles of part arrangement works for filament printing your designs as well. Only things I do different is the neck peg flat on its side and feet flat on the plate.
I’ve been out of it for a little while, but this was a great video to jumpstart the passion. Thank you Sir for such a great tutorial! It’s fascinating to watch the process, and I look forward to purchasing more of your creations!
Excellent! This should be helpful for a lot of folks. Well done! Keep up the good work! :)
Thank you - hope it helps!
How is this not Illegal Bootlegging though?
Well I'm glad you asked! Honestly, those of us who make figures based on intellectual property owned by giant corporations do indeed operate in a 'grey' area. Generally, with the exception of some notoriously litigious IP owners, corporations that preside of popular franchises want to walk the line carefully between encouraging bootlegging and pissing off their biggest fans. Thus, there are a few rules that I follow to keep everything above board: 1. I don't use any logos, Star Wars or otherwise, on anything I make 2. I don't offer scans OR printed figures of anything commercially available. For instance, you won't catch me selling 3d files for any of the Hasbro Retro figures! 3. If Hasbro or another toy company releases a vintage style figure of a character, I won't offer it. That's one reason why I'm not making the main cast of the Acolyte. 4. If an IP owner asks me to stop selling something, I will do it immediately with no questions asked. We are operating under their watchful eye and they are within their rights to stop us at any time. Most importantly, high-level employees of Hasbro, Mattel, and other toy companies follow me and other creators on Instagram and engage with the custom figure community regularly. If they wanted to stop us they could, but instead they choose to encourage the fandom as long as everyone plays nice in their sandbox. Hope that helps!
@@funkymaclunkey Thanks!!
I know your weren't going to teach people to suck eggs but I'd love to see how you lay out a printbed and your supports so as to support and not loose any figure definition. Help us all stop the frustration of it all going wrong 😂
Well you might want to check out my newest video - it tackles this very subject!
@@funkymaclunkey oh wonderful I've never thought of it doing it that way! Thanks 👍
Thanks CJ! It was a pleasure working on them!
I am not impressed at all. The paint looks sloppy and it looks like a child painted a doll.
I'm sure there is a reason you felt the need to put this negativity into the world, and I genuinely hope someone says something nice to you later today that makes you feel good.
Steven is the best !!!! I have many of his customs figures and he always knocks it out of the park. Your figures are awesome as well funky. Both Funky Maclunkey and Keepers Kustoms are Jedi Temple Toys- approved!
You both do excellent work! Have your stuff in my collection. Love it man!
"The fans are doing the best work" - Michael D. French, Retroblasting
It's weird to think I have action figures that came out of that shop.
You just can't defend Disney Star Wars. It's a broken mess run by idiots that clearly and openly hate you and Lucas Star Wars.
I can defend whatever I want to defend, and you can too - Star Wars isn't for any one group of us, and we are all entitled to our opinions. I love the OT most of all, but I'd rather watch Rogue One and Andor than the Phantom Menace or Attack of the Clones. "You’re going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view."
@@funkymaclunkey Nah... not honestly, you can't... It's objectively trash, made by idiots who hate the fans.
Dude! ❤ These look beautiful! Amazing sculptwork & beautiful paint. These ought to be mass produced, a'la Stan Solo. I'd buy a few of those in a ❤beat.
Never gonna complain about too many Leias. Those look amaze.
Ooh-rob-or-us 😂😂
Man , those look great ! Nice work.
They look great man. Wow.
Any chance you could do Thundarr the Barbarian figures?
Hey do one of the bad guys from Krull..those evil knights. Love your stuff.
I would absolutely love it if you were to make 3 3/4" scale Micronauts from the Marvel comic series. That's one of those things that is just never going to happen commercially.
Burnt out on making Star Wars? May I humbly suggest figures based off of Ice Pirates? Finishing up the Battlestar Galactica characters? I Come in Peace/Dark Angel? Critters? Escape from NY/LA? Battle Beyond the Stars? Just some suggestions to keep ya busy. Love your imagination, creativity, and output! Keep it up, friend!
I just realized what I want you to do. Make Original Series Star Trek figures in Kenner 3 and a quarter action figure style.
Ewok 💩😂😂 Wookie 5
I've chatted with you about this before, but just to pile jump... I'm on deck for the whole set of Blade Runner figures when they drop.
They're in the queue!
It always comes down to story... and what you decide to make a story about. Make it about things people want to see and you'll do fine, make it about things people aren't interested in and you'll struggle. Been that way since movies began.
Thank you for some common sense finally. Plot, writing, acting, cinematography!
After a second watch, I've found this show's style growing on me. It just took a little getting used to. I'm definitely interested and excited to see where it goes now.
Funky, would it be possible to make The Blank from Dick Tracy or a "Funky's version" of The Blank? The Playmates figures aren't great but it's the only one missing from my set. The original is too expensive. Dick Tracy has quite the Rogue's Gallery too. Just sayin'... Thanks
