Recycled Tic Tac Robot - Custom Toy Build

- čas přidán 1. 08. 2024
- 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! - Zábava
With the left arm and both legs being magnetic, you could probably make some interchangeable parts for it
More to come…😃
Ha, my mom had one of those water guns in her dresser for years when I was a kid. Awesome idea!
Thanks!
Loving your channel. You're so happy!
I loved very cool, congratulations DR Toys.
Thank you
This is literally one of the bounty hunter Droids from Jedi fallen order/ survivor. This Droid also showed up in the force awakens at mazs castle. Absolutely perfect custom for a Droid I don't think you even knew about. But spot on work here man
Love it! I had the exact same tic tac container, but I turned mine into a spaceship model for 28mm tabletop games.
Oh nice!
Great Build Doc.
This would go great with my Digsnated
Driver I this Made and painted.
For Army men Battle Photo plays
Came out nice
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!
Wow, thanks so much I really appreciate that! I'm just a toy nerd having fun!
You totally got this!
Awesome day for a trash bash! Looks REALLY cool, and it chaps my hide that my kids plow through those Tic-Tacs like crazy, and I don't have ONE container...lol.
Yet
😂😂😂
My wife loves the orange ones, luckily she saves them for me so I have quite a few around the house. Up till now I have only been using them to hold misc screws, nuts and whatnots. (D'oh, silly me.)
Now I have to go find an empty one and make a robot! Thanks for the inspiration Doc!!
Congratulations... 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍 very nice.
Awesome trash bashing!!! Love the results and the paint job! 😊
Thank you so much 😀
Sooo cool! I was waiting for a shoulder on the gun arm, a joint maybe. But the end result is sooo good.
Thanks.
Awesome build!
That's one hell of a build. Love everything about this.
Thanks!
I love how you cannibalize old toys.
It’s fun to see what I can turn them into!😃
Dude! I just built a spaceship using a Tic Tac container lol... Then I came across your video 😊 RAD!
Very cool!
This guy kind of looks like the Bounty Hunter droids from the Star Wars Jedi games. Love it!
Very cool build
Wow! What a transformation Dave! Awesome build!
Thanks man! Hope you have an awesome 2023!
That's incredible
Thanks
I like saving my tic tac container like them to store things in there. I think the tic tac container be perfect shape for a minion.
I totally agree!😀
Looks great, love the fact that the Robot is asymmetric, like it could've lost an arm so they added that gun to it
Incredible work Dave! I think the "O" ring was perfect for the are and the finish looks great. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks 👍
Like you, I love how some things just seem to fall together when scratch building. This latest build is great, Dave!
Thanks 👍
That's a nice robot. Love the paint job.
Thank you 🤗
AMAZING !
I've found for the indented logos like that, a piece of another trash piece of plastic covers it and blends in well
Yeah, that’s actually a great idea! Thanks
@@DRToysCreations and if it not a perfect blend, paint rust and add beads of hot glue, making it look like a weld/patch job. 😆
Love your work!! You are truly inspiring
Thank you so much!
Hoi hoi! Another great build! It’s my favourite when you build the robots. My Mrs blames you for me buying products, just for their containers because they look like they’d make good robots😂She can no longer have her favourite shampoo because that’s not the right shape! 😂
😂😅😂 I love that!
Sometime ya gotta do whatcha gotta do! 😂
I know how you feel 😂
I had a heart attack seeing you break the Funko 😅. By the way, great custom.
😅 I totally get that. It may give you some comfort to know it was broken and missing the top lid/hatch. I will get a few good new creations out of him.😀
Great job Dave!
Thanks!
Love it! I've made some smaller scale robots/droids - but this is very inspirational!
I love your creativity so much!! I love repurposed items. The rivets and rust were fantastic touches.
Thanks!
Nicely done
Thanks
Nice!!
Been saving these same things for something along these lines!!!!
I've got about five more!😂
Amazing build😎
Thanks!
I cannot tell you how much I love this. I have been making little robots for my kids for the last cupla years. I did not think of using magnets for the arms and legs. Thank you so much for this fantastic idea.
Oh. and my kids are gonna thank you also.
Thanks for sharing! This makes me soooo happy! 😀
this is awesome
Thanks!
Extremely dope build! DR Toys is my absolute favorite CZcams channel for this type of art. Love it!
Wow, thanks!
Damn dude that was sick
Thanks!
Very cool....... 👍👍
You are awesome man
9:13 "Diamond Dotz" . I use those frequently for rivets. Works well.
My wife has been spilling these all over I’ve taken to saving them for that exact thing
Another awesome build! Happy new year!
Thanks! You too!
These are absolutely incredible! It makes me want to build more of my own figures! One thing I've picked up is when needing just a lil bit more detail you can always you a bit of Cable Ties or Zip Ties
I have seen other builders do that. I have some, just haven’t tried it yet. Thanks
damn the end made me think of "what if Morpheus took both pills" now i have to watch that! also i love how Ashley Wood that robit looks
Thanks!
Dude that is amazing, looks like a little Soviet robot.
Very nice! I would have went bigger with that arm cannon. 🤔 Just getting into this art form. Very exciting.
It normally comes down to what I have on hand at the time.😅
👏👏👏👍
I always love to see your work, is kinda amazing 😮
Thank you so much 😀
@@DRToysCreations
No, thank you for share your work with us 😉
I was wondering on a robot like this one with yakult bottles as back turbines and maybe wings recicled from a cheap plane or made from cardboard.
Cheers!
Dave, Happy New Year! I do like the bigger arms too, looks great. Wathching these videos got me into Final Faction. I pick those up when I can. 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! Another reason why I like this channel!
I love hearing that! Thanks for sharing.
Best one yet man!!
Thanks so much!!!
this is one awesome Robot! The form reminds me strongly of the Smialy Mech from the Game Iron Harvest.
I wan't familiar with Smialy Mech from the Game Iron Harvest but I looked it up and I can totally see what you're saying!
Cool little bot, thanks for sharing!
I think, with your skills, you can easily make robot legs yourself, without keep legs of another toy... the result can be better and totally artistic 😉
Thanks, it’s definitely a skill I’m still learning.
Really cool! I think a red LED would work even better though ... granted, that would be pretty stereotypical for a robot, but probably why it hit me.
I can see that... : )
Thanks.
wow, very good job.
.. gonna start working on a similar bot.
i have plenty of spare parts and i already made some custom Transformers.
Tic Tac robot definitely didn’t skip arm day! Fantastic! Oh, and I love your title card/intro. Very cool.
😅Thanks.
Buen video saludos desde México
Bonjour superbe réalisation. 👋😁👍🇧🇪
Thanks
Damn this is awesome. Would display well with GI Joes.
Thanks. I would like to build a little diorama for him, just ran out of time... 😅
The Mcfarlane Toy is called "Nobody" idk if anyone else already said so, but that's what it is lol. i remember seeing him as a kid and thinking "Yeah, ill go with Sam and Twitch instead" lol
Oh yeah… sure enough, just looked it up on. eBay… that was a good set of legs, I have to keep an eye out for them at yardsales!
Thanks!
@@DRToysCreations Oh yeah for sure. the old Mcfarlane Spawn "And other Movie Maniacs and such" figures are AWESOME man. i still love em to this day. but "No Body " was a completer Dud of a figure, even back when Spawn figures were selling out everywhere lol.. i remember seeing him quite a few places. Viking Spawn, Sam and Twitch, Mangler, "ANY" Cool figures were gone asap though. but looking back, No Body is sculpted well... just, nobody cared about.... No Body...
@@Glitch-Gremlin Kinda like the Black Series LANDO! LOL There's alway a ton on peg at Target...
Love everything on your channel, man! Subbed!
Awesome, thank you!
Your videos suddenly pop-up on my recommendation and now you inspired me to try it. Im a gunpla collector so i think i have some spare parts to practice on. Thanks sir keep it up! Subbed
Awesome! Thanks and welcome.
Those Calibers are great the only thing unless your using Metric Dril Bits you'll need a Tap & Drill chart to determine some on those Smaller odd Fractional and No. Drill Bits
Calliper not calibre. Technically it's a vernier
I just came across your page the other day and subscribed. I love your videos and how you build these awesome pieces from what everyone looks at as garbage. You show and prove that one man's trash is another man's treasure. Start selling these amazing creations and if you have kids, make your children toys. Keep up the great work man 👍🏻
Awesome, thank you! Welcome!
Sir. I love you videos
Look like Battle Droid from Star Wars!
Doc you when have been a great Model Builder on that T.V Series
Space Precinct
Thanks.
Amei seus robots❤
Thank you!
Use Rubn buff
With Small Sponge to do paint Chipping
Happy new year!
Same to you!
Well now you have your Tic Tac Robot team, This one can be Tic and since it is made out of a Tic Tac container and has the big gun it can be the protector counterpart to Tac the one shaped like a Tic Tac while it does its sharp shooting and covert operations. Very Cool. That is just my mind playing the story line game. LOL But once again you made and Awesome Robot.
That's too funny!!! I love that!
@@DRToysCreations Cool glad you liked it.
so cool i want it.. lol..
Thanks. 😀
@@DRToysCreations you know it!
Great result as always, Doc 😉👍
Maybe i would have connected the gun to another arm cut at elbow's height... 🤔
I was also wondering why you don't use something like lego free-movement ball-joints to give arms and legs a bit more pose range... 🤔
I totally see what you're saying, that could be cool!
Because I'm cheap I normally use what I have on hand, at my work I hit up the electrical engineers for the recycled components and scavenge the magnets so I dont have to buy anything. But I'm guessing I could find the lego joints online for a reasonable price... I'll have to look into that. But long story short... I'm cheap! 😅
@@DRToysCreations
I get the value in using what you have at hand, but with your talent you could really do awesome professional-grade-like builds (more than they already are, which is a lot 😉) just adding posability to the figures, imo.
Geat work, as always 👍😉
👏👏👏👏👏
Homerun!
Thanks
Get the biggest Widest Putty knife that you have after Scoring the seam
Insert it between half and Pry
The hammer was faster! 😂😀😅
True
The mcfarlane toy is from a spawn wave but I cannot remeber the name of the character
Yeah, I was hunting around on eBay trying to see what it is. Oh well, the legs were perfect.😃
@@DRToysCreations I would like to see you take on a series of super baseball 202 figures lol that is what this figure reminds me of for some reason lol
@@z0m813 I can totally see that! LOL
❤️❤️❤️😃❤️❤️❤️
👍
Do another one of the tix tac bottle but make it like a robotic suit a little guy is controlling from the inside
That's actually on my "want to do list" 😀
You should have left the transparent part intact, and created an inner body, with wires and mechanisms, like they do with some robots.
Even the interior leds.
Still, great assembly.
I have two more of these so you never know! 😅
Dollar tree craft section has decent pack of magnets for $1.25
You can smear the Wash
With a Wedge-shaped
Silacone Brush
looks like a soviet mech
that's a damn cool robot
do you know what other candy packaging can you use for your awesome robot builds?
bubblegum tape.
I may need to get me some buble tape this week!!! And it's such good gum, kinda like Big League Chew! SOOOOOO GOOOOD!!!
Wow! Really impressive build. What are you using for primer?
Thanks! I just use Rust Oleum Gray Primer from Home Depot.
You rock man! What do you do with the models? Do you display them or sell them?
Thanks! I’ve been taking them to Designer con for the last two years but am thinking about posting them online at some point…🤔
McFarlane No Body.
Awesome! Thanks!
cool robo dude! How does the 0-ring on the arm do with paint? I'm always afraid the paint will gum up on rubber and other soft materials.
Thanks!
Surprisingly the paint stuck to to really well. I know exactly what you're talking about, I have an Iron man I painted like two years ago and the paint still feels tacky...
@@DRToysCreations the crafter's reoccurring nightmare 😅
It look like a extreme Version of pickle rick 😂
I can see that!😂😂😂
@DR TOYS thats an action figures from Mcfarlane named " no body"
Thanks!
AGH! Not the Cyborg armor! It's so hard to find the Cyborg armor and the Rampage armor from Final Faction!
Seeing this. All I could think was inside the container would be a person piloting it. But they would all be prisoners fighting for some future entertainment corporation thing. They'd be floating in a fluid only semi conscious or something.
😂 That's kinda crazy, and I love it! LOL
I actually have a few small MASK figures and thought it could be cool to do another bot with a pilot.
8:50 i worked at an auto parts store and a lady came in once looking for a gasket that she and her kids could use as bracelets. But the computer didn't let us look up the gaskets by their specs (like diameter or width of the plastic) so i couldn't help her. .__. so like don't always expect parts people to be able to look up gaskets based on specs for these things: just hoarde any like a squirrel.
😄 Great advice!
Genius.
Is that Satin Oreganio Color By
Krylon
The Green for the Main Body Section
It's Satin Oregano by Rustoleum
I have that color
Good color For Custom
Items and alit Cheaper than Tamirya
Or Army Painter Primers
you shouldnt just put the gun straight on, it needs a decent joint to move around a bit, so u need to stick a little arm on it really...
Haxon Brood star wars.
