Put a Face on My Munny!

We’ve seen him everywhere over the last two or three years.  Munny.  He’s the little white plastic dude that leads the DIY nylon toy rebellion.  Munny is meant to be painted, modeled, glued, cut, and glued again into any manner of self-expressive character creation.  In fact, he’s a bit like a real-life avatar for your office desk.

While in New York recently, I picked up a Munny from the MOMA gift shop and have been spending the last 2 weeks racking my brain over who or what to turn him into.  I’ve settled on video game characters as the main direction.  I then hopped online for inspiration to find — unsurprisingly — that the video game Munny theme has been around almost as long as the toy itself.  Take a look at a few of the Munnys (or is it Munnies?) I’ve found, or check out the official Munny gallery, and help me come up with a direction for my own.

Still not inspired?  Destructoid also has a gallery up of some Munny characters they’ve come across.  Visit it here.
