- I had this old spray paint can laying around and I thought it would be fun to make a robot out of the spray can. This little guy ended up having way more personality than I expected and has quickly become one of my favorites upcycling builds!
In this DIY custom scratch build I will walk through the steps of how I took an ol spray paint can, a gachapon capsule, polystyrene and some wood stock. Oh, I even added some LED eyes!
I hope you enjoy this DIY toy customization scratch build video!
Thanks for visiting DR Toys, and as always...

Have you ever watched the movie Robots? Robin Williams and Ewan MacGregor add their voice talents. This little guy immediately brought that to mind.
It’s been a long time but yes, and I totally see that!😃
This robot is smart, kind and intelligent. I love the robots you make because they are kind and humorous. I make robots with spray cans. It's a lot of fun to make them.
Awesome! Do you have an Instagram account?
@@DRToysCreations
X I have a Twitter account but I don't have an Instagram account.
The sneakers really make that guy. He is very cute!
I agree, the sneakers definitely up his game!😅
I absolutely love this. This style of robot hits just right. If you've ever seen the 1940s Superman cartoon "The Mechanical Monsters" or all the 1940s Warner Bros. cartoons with robots, that's the style that I love!
I hope to see you build more robots, like this one. Great job!
Yeah, sometimes simpler is better.😃
Thanks 🙏
Ahh he’s adorable. Great little robot.
❤️thanks
He looks like the Iron Giant’s little brother…Nice Job👍
I love that!
Thanks
He is perfect! One of my most favorite things you’ve ever built- as usual, your color choice are on point!
Thank you so much!🙏
Sick build! This guy has so much personality.
Thanks
This is such a cool build.👏 I had a blast watching this. ✌️
Thanks!
Robots made with spray cans are cute and cool. 👍 Dirty paint, rusty paint, and graffiti on the body are also great. 🤖 I also make robots, so I'll try making them with spray cans. Your creations are wonderful. I respect you.
Thanks.
Your work is also really fun!
I love the look of this little robot, it defiantly has a personality, the socks and sneakers made me laugh out loud such a great touch, thanks Dave this was just what I needed after a long night at work, take care,
Yeah, I don’t understand people who can wear shoes without socks! 🤢 Had to give him some socks otherwise that’s just gross!😂😂😂
Thanks so much!
There is something about his whole look, you really hit the nail on the head this time Dave.@@DRToysCreations
It's so cute with its little shoes lol.
😃thank you
The scale of this guy and the amount of character from such simple touches just make this a phenomenal build. Love it! God bless, my friend.
Wow, thank you! 😊
Awesome! What a great build. I do wish the video was a bit longer, showing more of the process.
Great looking robot Dave and I have to say the tennis shoes were a terrific idea. Thanks for sharing this neat build.
Glad you liked it❤️
What a charming little robot! Has that 50's future flare, you feel like you've known him your whole life. As always keep up the great work
Yes! Thank you!
That looks awesome. I love that he's got some articulation. A tiny can of spray paint might look cool in his hand.
That's a great idea! Thanks!
Wow, it came out great. I could see that in a post apocalyptic movie.
That's awesome! Thanks!
This is so good! One of the best found object assemblage type sculpture pieces I've seen in some time. 'You've really set that little bit of brain ticking that tries to design this sort of thing. I'll have to have a go at one of my projects again soon
Awesome! Nothing makes me happier than to get other people’s brains spinning up some cool ideas!😃
Real nice and with a lot of personality! Looks like a teenager version of the character from "Machinarium". Very nice an simple video as well. Very pleasant to watch.
Oh yeah! I can totally see that!😅
That looks so cool! I really like the colors that you used it reminds me of the colors of the robot in Invader Zim.
Awesome, thanks! Invader Zim is a classic!😃
I think this is one of my favourites too…
😃thanks
Now that's how you recycle cans😂👍
💯!😃
so cool.. love your stuff. he almost looks like he should be in the movie "robots"
Someone else mentioned Robots… I haven’t seen that in a long time. May need to go back and watch it!😃
So dope...them shoes set it off..
Thanks!
Ye he’s really cool man.
Damn, I just threw out a can....better go dig through the trash...lol. Love it as always!
Come on!!! You know better than that!😂😂😂
I am seeing a Futurama/Iron Giant/Jetsons inspired mashup, very very cool.
😁👍👍👍😎
I can see all three of those in him! I did just recently watch the Iron Giant. 😃
Very cool build. Has a lot of character
Thanks. As I was building him he kinda came to life with his personality!😃
Nice and simple but lots of character
Thanks man, his personality came through as I was building him. Kinda cool how that happens.😃
Great work my friend!!! Perfeitas articulações e o Led! Vc é um profissional!!! I Love your Toy making vídeos!!
Thank you so much!
I really love this lil dude! Amazing work as always.
Thanks a ton!
In the 1980s here in the U.K. we had a T.V. advert promoting instant mashed potato. The product was called Smash. Your robot looks very much like the ones on the ad. Have a awesome week my friend.
That’s amazing! Thanks
So I just looked it up on CZcams and found it! That’s amazing!!!😂😂😂
He’s so cute! 👏🏻💞
Great looking Robot , nice one 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Looks like a character that would feature in one of those cute indie animated shorts. Something really pleasant about the character that you created.
One of my favourite builds. :) keep up the great work!
Thanks!
It would be so fun to work on a project like that.😃
So much potential for a story to go with the characters you create. Maybe someone out there could bring the stories to life!
Keep them coming Dr!!!!!
Will do!😃
This is really cool Dave and it's one of my favorite toys that you've made I also really like your Godzilla Garfield and your Harry Potter Street bot and the Mystery Shack I really love your videos Man keep up the good work
Wow, thanks so much! 😀
Great job as always. I love the LED touch, I'm a sucker for stuff that light up.
Keep up the good work.
I just wish I was better at the LED stuff…😅
@@DRToysCreationsKeep trying and experimenting and you will excel in it just like you do with your creations.
Reminds me of the "I can help!" robot from Fargo.
Especially with the little bent antenna.😅
Awesome ❤
Thanks
Absolutely beautiful Dave, great work! I think it has shades of the Iron Giant to it, but with a definite Dr Toys spin.
YES! Maybe that's why I like it so much!
I love that movie.
Thanks.
Great looking little robot! Just remember; do not crush, puncture, or burn! Thanks for the video!
Noted!😂
Thanks
That little guy has so much personality. Love the sneakers!
Thanks!
Nice job as always! 😊
Thanks
I liked! I'll make one. Thanks!
Awesome! I would love to see it when it's done. You can hit me up on Instagram. 😀
Love it! Nice build.
Thanks!
Excellent work 😎💯
Thank you very much!
Hi Dave. That’s so good! Lots of simple details has brought him to life. I hope you don’t mind, but I’ve nicknamed him ‘Ernie’. 🤖Have a great week. Graeme
I love that! 😂
Awesomeness
Brilliant!!
Thanks
Dave, this robot has so much character and charm!!! Love it!!! 🥰
Thanks, he made me pretty happy!😃
@@DRToysCreations you are welcome 🤗
He would definitely make most of us happy 😊
Bravo 👍👍
Thanks
One of the few channels I hit the like button before watching the video 😊
You’re to kind!😃
I appreciate that!
Fantastic, man! This is my wife’s favorite of your builds. Love the color scheme. Great way to spend my Sunday morning. Keep ‘em coming!
Thanks a bunch!
Amazing toys
Thank you 🤗
Way cool 🎉
Thanks
Impressive
Thanks.
Looking good🎉🎉
Thank you 😊
Nice nice
Thanks
👌👌👌
Dam robot even has better shoes than me 😂
😂
Have you looked at hangers with the size tag on the hanger it's a cool shape and they are on almost all clothes you can buy
I haven’t… I’ll have to keep an eye out for that.
This a fantastic build. Maybe we can get a classic square head 50s era robot with a ray gun?!?
Thanks!
I have been thinking about a Ray gun for a while now. 😃
@DRToysCreations Mars attacks (the movie) had comic books and trading cards that are a wealth of really really fun images to check out!
I'll definitely check that out! @@taurbaby
Kind of reminds me of clank from the rachet and clank games
Oh yeah, I can see that!😃
I’m not sure which robot I love the most. This one or the wood one
Thanks! Yeah, they definitely have two different personalities.😃
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I'm sure you've answered before, but where do you get your magnets
CMS Magnetics, the magnets I was getting on Amazon were just too weak!
Here's what I use:
ND019-52N N52 Dia 1/4x1/8" Small Disc Neodymium Magnet | Rare Earth Magnet
This bot totally looks like the main character from the Ewan McGregor featured animated movie of many years ago called "Robots". Check the animated movie out and you'll see what I mean.
The resemblance is uncanny. There are several other bots in the movie which would also be great inspiration for builds.
I have seen that bit years and years ago… I will need to rewatch it!😃
Do you have any tips for waterslide decals? I always seem to tear them while transferring them to my model kits. My latest model im free handing the pinstripes because i have such a hard time with the waterslides.
I have seen a guy that will do a coat of clear gloss spay over his decals to make them stronger. That may help.
What is that silver paint ? Cool😮
Nothing fancy just some Valspar spray paint, brilliant metal silver.
Can you share where you got the store file for the shoes? Thanks
My buddy purchase them, but I'm not sure where. I'll see if he remembers.
He’s one of my favorites but I think he needs knees! Say that 5X real fast! 😅
5 X fast = beezknees… 😂

Love your channel. But these 10 minutes videos are killing me. You got my attention I can watch your process for 15 to 20 minutes
😃 Thank you so much! It’s funny my YT analytics show most people have the attention span of a dog side tracked by a squirrel!😂😂😂
I blame Tic Toc and Instagram…😅
I appreciate you wanting more!❤️
Always love your videos
Thank you!
Awesome work Dave! One of my favorites so far!
Thanks! 🙏
Wow very good man, what is his name? And are you going to sell mush of him like toys, key rings, hats and so on?
Thanks.
I kinda just made him for fun. Haven't really thought of the merch side of him.
@@DRToysCreations it be cool if you did and what is his name?
@@freakystories3583
When I was working on him in my studio, I keep calling him Mike the Moody Robot. 😅
