I Made a Robot From A Gum Container

- Aside from being amazing gum this container is perfect for a robot! Just by looking at the shape I knew it had to be made into a custom toy Robot. I used some Gundam bits, Final Faction parts and the legs from a Funko Legion Titanfall. The shape of this Hubba Bubba gum container made the perfect body for this robot. I also added an LED light from a tea light for an added effect.
This was definitely another 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:

I hope you enjoy this custom toy build video!
Thanks for visiting DR Toys, and as always...

I love how you can take something that most people would just see as garbage and turn it into an amazing piece of art.
Thanks. There’s so many great bottles and containers out there begging to be used!😃
it was garbage, thats the point.
That’s creativity for ya

Those gum containers are famous in tabletop crafting circles. Most of us make generators out of them, since they look kind of like the field generators from Empire Strikes Back (Hoth battle). Makes a great robot. Very nice.
Nice!
If you make it show us
This robot looks great. The chunky legs really help give it bulk. Flipping the base was a good idea, too. I love all the decals and details.
Thanks. The packaging was begging to be made into something!😂
[7:07] The spackle didn't stick because you need to sand the wood down. It creates a better surface for the spackle to bond to.
To my understanding, this is pretty much how most of the Sci-Fi designs in Star Wars and Star Trek were made- kitbashing random kits and bits together. When you consider that, I could really imagine your works being featured in Hollywood movies, among the most iconic designs!
You’re too kind… I’m just a toy nerd having a good time!😀
I appreciate that, thank you.
You give me so much inspiration! To take something normally seen as garbage and turn it into a fun, creative, beautiful piece of art. Please keep creating! I want to keep watching these.
Thanks so much 😊
I was watching this video, and my 8yo step daughter came in and said, " that looks like a gum case." I said it was, and she was in awe at what it looked like now. I have to say I share her sentiment . Awesome vision and execution!
That’s so fun to hear! Maybe we can convert her to be a toy creator!😃
Such an awesome looking mech!!!
Impressive work as always Dave.👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks!
Fantastic results! I’m inspired.
On the base … I would have brushed on a layer of PVA or Mod Podge on the wood. Let it dry. Then, when it’s time to put on the spackle, or air dry clay, just put a drop (or two) of water to reactivate the contact surface, spread with finger to make it slightly tacky. Then apply the putty/clay, spread it out and proceed as normal.
I normally use Mod Podge in my builds but I thought that would be faster…😂 Part of the journey.
Looks fantastic!
Great job. I love the metal look.
That might be my favorite divot you've ever made. To whoever suggested that, that was a great idea!
Amazing work!!
This is so awesome. It gives me big Final Fantasy 7 energy for some reason.
The Hulky , Bulky .. Chunky legs are the highlights..overall it’s simply amazing to see how a normal bubble gum box turns out into a futuristic War Bot 👌🏼🤩
This was a fun package to work with…😃
It’s a beautiful Warhammer terrain!
That looks so cool!
Great work 👏
It couldn’t have turned out any better! Nailed it! Absolutely crushed it!
Thanks!❤️
Amazing robot!!
YES A PERFECT BUILD WITH A PERFECT GUM
just brilliant :)
I'm from 1983, i too have had my fair share of Hubba Bubba in the 90's (they were in italy also, at the time).
Great taste for builds as ever Doc 👍😉
I haven’t had it for years and I forgot how good it tastes. And it great for making huge bubbles (3-4 pieces required).😂
3:38 - just in case you didn't know, the reason the tamiya doesnt stick them to the hubbabubba container is because the tamiya isnt actually a "glue" its a styrene solvent, it works by melting polystyrene based plastic and then evaporating leaving the plastic welded together. The pink container isnt styrene based so it won't work with it, you have to use something like superglue which is an actual glue
I was hoping to get lucky…😂
Thanks 😃
This is by far my favorite build you have done! It just looks so cool. The green paint makes it look like a futuristic military weapon and the light just sets off the whole model. Thanks for sharing this neat build.
Sure thing! Thanks for watching!
Man I love those big chunky legs. Little guy looks simultaneously very badass and really adorable. Great work!
best description yet!😂
Thanks!
A killer robot build, one of the best kit bash I’ve seen. Turned out great. I especially like those small details you added.
I agree!
Thanks, I appreciate it! Just having fun building and it as much fun to share! 😃
Aaaaaaadorable and intimidating at the same time! I LOVE it!!
😃Thanks
amazing work man!!!!
that looks cool!
I love junk art made from the most unusual materials. True genius. Dude you rock!
Thanks!😃
Really cool.
glad you did a bot in a Gum container
thank you, for your clips, love em....
I have watched all of your videos now and have been patiently waiting for this video. I wish you could post a couple a week, but I understand the challenges of life. I reckon this is a beautie! You have so much skill and imagination. I love your creativity and laid-back style. Thank you. (Now waiting for the next one!) 😀
Wow! Thanks so much and sorry for some of the earlier videos that were a little rough!😂
I’m currently in CA helping out my sister so I’m hoping to get another video up in two weeks.😬
Love the whole process..it's great 👍🔥
Thanks
This is incredible! Amazing work turning gum into a robot!!
Thank you so much 😀
What an amazing build it definitely turned out cool.
Thanks
Great looking robot!! The bro with the best intro on CZcams! The color choice was great! I've got one of those containers, but mine is gonna be for an Aliens diorama.
Thanks! Yeah, the container is awesome. I hope your build turns out amazing!
one of my favorites that you've done!
Thanks
Always feel inspired after watching your vids, THANKS DOC
I love to hear that! Thanks!
I’m making I
This now. Not exactly the same but definitely following your principles. Thanks for sharing this. Quite inspiring.
Wonderful! I hope it turns out amazing! 😀
This build was 6 feet of fun! Awesome work as usual
😂
Very cool..
Your enthusiasm is infectious and the build turned out great. Model on, Dave
Thanks! Will do!😃
This one was sooooooo cool…as they usually are! Great job!! 😎
Thanks!
Unbelievable transformation!!! Totally Rad
Thanks!
Love It 👍
This honestly looks like a cool concept for Warhammer 40k.
Thanks
Great video Doc!!
Thanks man!
VERY COOL! I have like 6 of those in my bits bin.. might be time to put on on my workbench
Heck yeah!😃
Looks amazing! Like something that stomped its way out of the imagination of some WWI tech designer! Color choices were spot on as well. Great work!
Thanks, I appreciate that.
I can really imagine this little guy hopping and trundling along in Metal Slug animation style
I definitely thought it had a frog vibe.😃
DR Toys, amazing work buddy, I'm new to your channel but already a fan...Kudos!
Awesome! Thanks Gary!
It's adorable and I love it
Thanks
BIG WELL DONE.
Thanks
This was a beautiful kitbashing project!
I love the creativity of it :)
Thank you! 😊
This one is awesome, I really like it.
Thanks
Oh wow, very cool!!!!!!!!!! 👍👍
This is doing so much for my inner child. I just stumbled across your videos last month and love each new build!
That makes me so happy to hear. There’s so much crazy in the world sometimes it’s nice to get away and be a kid again!😃
this was a killer scratch build!
Thanks!
I KNEW THAT CONTAINER COULD BE USED FOR SOMETHING
The only problem was I was four at the time and didn’t know paint existed
😂
I love what you do man keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do!
That is really cool, who knew you could build something great and have a delicious treat too, i really like your builds, look forward to the one.
That gum is so good!!! And it makes amazing bubbles!😂
Great build. I enjoyed watching this kit bash! Hi
Thanks.
I love the end result there, man. Really cool shapes coming together!
Thanks
Love it big time great job.
Thank you! 😊
I dig it.
I totally loved your work, it was really cool and was very like to the dystopian concept of machine warfare, your art reminded me of the game Metal Slug too. In my opinion I would remain only put some yellow bands on the back of the robot, at the place of tank, behind the machine, so it would seem it carrying the fuel (like the danger bands on Monsters S.A screaming cylinders).
I love that! Thanks!
First time viewer here. Seeing something iconic like a Bubble Tape container turned into a droid/mech is pretty cool and seems like it'd be fun to do! And with the music playing, it was definitely giving me End of Stage Boss fight vibes.
Thanks so much!
Cool 😎 love it awesome 👍😎❤🎉
Too cool 😎 I’ve been doing some junk builds and mods. Thank you for your inspiration and videos. 😊
Sure thing, glad to do it.
Thanks for watching!
Great🤖
amazing build man, subbed!
Thanks for the sub!
Looks like the robots RoboCop I love it
I thought the same thing!😃
Thanks
That gum was always so good it made me want to always swollow it lol especially the grape
😂😂😂 And it makes the best bubbles!
Hail to you, Revered Techpriest!
I literally found one of those containers this morning and thought "mini space ship".. it makes a sweet bot... you can make a great modeling "clay" with tissue and acrylic paint, it drys to a hard plastic liked material. its a variation of poor mans fiberglass
That’s a cool tip! Thanks.
I've said it before and I'll say it again you never fail to amaze me. I'd have to say now this is probably one of my top three favorites of what you've done. I totally love this machine-bot. It is so very very cool and awesome.
Just a thought on the base when you put the putty on maybe it would go on easier if you scratched the top up first with a wire brush or something like that, I don't know for sure if it would work but it might give a rougher surface to stick to.
Thank so much!
That’s a great idea, someone also mentioned to wet the base and it would go on easily.
The best thing about bubble tape is the container it came in.
💯!
That is super cool.................
Thanks 🙏
I'm a 40k nerd an found your video by happistance but I love your work and find it inspiring!
That is awesome! Thanks for watching!
that container was made for something cool. and on a different way like a flat surface will be nice to.
I totally agree! Definitely more bots to come from this packaging.😃
okay that's cool
Also good for 20mm scale 'hover tanks', the turrets I use are the top from an artificial sweeteners dispenser.
childhood's favorite gum omg i want it so bad
😂
Great result man, the bubba pack literally looks like it was destined to be a little battle bot, love it
Right!
I think there’s other possibilities with this container as well! 😃
You need a mesh for the mastic to stick. I used burlap for a mosaic on pink foam board. Worked very well.
Great tip!
Muito bom parabéns
カッコイイ！
oh. My. GOD!!! Dear sir, this is an incredible piece of converting and creativity. Thank you so much for this well of inspiration, I am most confident that similar robot walkers will be finding themselves into my Ork Warhammer 40K army very soon. Again well done man, this was a joy to watch. (^_^)
Sure thing, happy to do it. Thanks for watching!
Reminds me of the MFU-68 Laborer from Atomic Heart. I love it!
Definitely feel like this has taken out a few of the aliens from starship troopers.
Omg ! As a kid I use to imagine those exact bubblegum tape dispensers where spaceships.
Right!!! Such a great shape!
I thought this was going to be a functional desk sized Roomba, that being said your statue was awesome
😂
Thanks!
This looks amazing man. I love those legs! Someone did not skip leg day
😅
@@DRToysCreations were you able to find an Eve toy?
@@thestoryteller1920 Not yet. : )
I love your videos.❤❤❤👌
Thanks!
Dang it man, just when i get my hording under control, ya gotta show me one more thing i can turn into something cool instead of throwing it out😄curse you , you awesome litlle MacGyver you!
The struggle is real!😅
I usually try to obscure the original shape of trash bits but this works so well as is. Hubba bubba robot uprising? 🤔
Yeah, it was just begging to be used!😂
