Made a bot from something banned in the US - KINDER BOT

- A buddy brought me a capsule from a Kinder Joy eggs he had in Mexico. I have had Kinder Joy eggs here in the US but never realized the original Kinder Joy eggs were banned in the US. He said the capsules are inside of a chocolate egg and I guess in the US kids were also attempting to eat the capsule?
That aside, the Kinder Joy egg capsules themselves are great shapes for a bot, so with a few Final Faction bits and some LEGO parts I made this Kinder Bot.
I hope you enjoy this scratch built custom toy build video!
Thanks for visiting DR Toys, and as always...

Great build, the best part of your channel is how you show these cheaper and more accessible techniques.
I appreciate that! 🙏
The weathering is spot on here Dave! Looks like a fun little desk pet to have around watching you......always watching.
I leave a bunch of desk buddies but there’s always room for one more!😂
Love this lil guy! I like the minimal detailing, a little went a long way on this one.
Thanks! It almost got away from me... 😅
as for the kinder eggs with capsules, i find them often, then there is a new one (not kinder) that has endangered animal toys in them within an actual egg in them. the starfish gave me ideas for tentacle legs on something.
The feet definitely have an R2 feel to them. Cool little bot!
I was thinking the same thing!
Thanks
Cool! Love that industrial type of blue color.
They makes great whistling arrow heads.
Ah, the Kinder capsule dilemma... they really want to be minions or [if they get legs] R2D2. Sir, you bravely travelled through that valley and out the other side. You get the, "better than the toy inside" Kinder Award. So often their 'banana-ness' gets the better of us Brits and we end up throwing the little devils out when we sort our scratch-building materials. Great Job!
Thanks 😅
The reason Kinder eggs were banned was not because of the capsule. It was because of the toys that come inside it. Most of them have small parts that can be inhaled or ingested by small children. Many Kinder toys require assembly.
I guess some accidents must have happened in the U.S. that generated lawsuits. Kinder eggs are everywhere here in Portugal and around Europe.
That makes sense. Thanks.
@@DRToysCreations You're welcome. And as always your work is awesome.
Yep, USA has dumber kids apperently and we love our lawsuits
@@Matt-md5yt more like the U.S. has more of a litigious culture. If the kid swallows the toy is it really the toy manufacturer's fault when the toy obeys regulations?
@@vitorserra3144 yeah true
I lived in Germany as a young teen from 93-97 and had sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many kinder eggs and now I really wish I saved those yellow capsules!!!
A lovely Bot indeed, makes me wonder how a kid can mistake plastic for chocolate but wonders never cease
😅
The little robot reminds me of the aesthetics of the Japanese Machinen Krieger plastic models.
Please try to make a big spaceship from pet / shampoo bottles. 10x
I have had that on my list... 😀
Awesome job!
Love how the choice in colors gives it an Art Deco vibe, something to keep in mind for future projects.
Thank you! 😊
Great job
It's so fun to watch someone who loves their hobby like you do. I love making little guys too
A little tip for you the rust powder is in fact crushed burnt umber pastel😊
An amazing little craft by the way that robot is top-shelf mate👌
I actually just got some old pastels at a yardsale and have been playing with them a little…😃
Thanks
Love it. Love it’s simplicity. So clean.
Thank you! 😊
I find more enjoyment in the painting!
Same! I love the painting process! 😀
That’s so good! Thanks for sharing! ❤️
Great job and enjoyed watching your process!
Thank you! Cheers!
I loved the 90ies version of those eggs, as you were able to chain them because they head almost lego like bits on the ends. They also had versions where you could attach stuff that was in the capsule sometimes.
That's amazing. I will have to check that out on YT! Thanks
Came out nice.
Glad you found use for this Egg capsule. This little bot is adorable
Thanks!
Gorgeous.
Thanks.
Looks awesome!
Thanks
Very cool build! 👍👍
Great job Doc.
Use should do a tank with a crew
It's Funny Toy Polloi is Name Dave also
That is so cool Dave! I like the whole model but the blue really makes it look nice. I think the weathering is just right too. Thanks for sharing this.
Sure thing, thanks for watching!
Has that nice retro future style like Big Guy and Rusty-esque
I’m not familiar with Big Guy and Rusty. But I looked it up and it looks amazing. Definitely gonna check it out! Thanks for sharing!
Another great one!
Thanks 🙏
Super cool Dave..
Thanks.
Awesome job 👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
😂 One of my favs!
Looks like the basic start to the robot from G-Force. LOL.
Another awesome build Dave! Love that little guy. Awesome Greedo shirt too!
Thanks!
One of my Favs!😂
My favorite so far.
Thanks!
R2 1/2P, 1/2 Pint 😅... Great li'l robot 👍
Cool! 😮That clear plastic rod also becomes a lense, as well as a connector.
Thanks
@@DRToysCreations Whoops. Those are not eyes. Those are legs!
YAY! Now I know how to make movieable legs for my bots! Thanks Dave! This little guy is really cute. Do you sell them? I would like to have this guy. Also, thank you for such clear and detailed explainations without a lot of side talk. You are one of the best at that. I watch your videos and I feel like I can also do what you did because I can see clearly what you are doing as you explain. My mom has been carrying Tic-Tac's in her purse as long as I can remember and I am now in my 50's, now the Tic-Tac's come in a similar shape as what you used here, the bigger package does anyways and she has started bringing me stuff like that so I am going to follow your video and make this guy.
Thanks so much, it's always great to hear I'm actually explaining something in an OK manner! 😅
I have been making my builds over the course of a year then taking them to Designer Con in CA at the end of the year to show off and sell. I am thinking about getting them on a webpage to sell as well still not 100% sure how to do that yet.
Thank you for your kind words and I hope to make more cool videos!
Cheers.
If you don’t have any droid figures this is a good way to make them
Another winner!
Thanks
Awesome little bot you created here Doc. Strong hints of an R2 unit with this one, though the head isn't a seperate unit.
I really like that you kept this one minimalistic, you have a much stronger will than mine. I would have covered that bot with greeblies before I stopped. That being said, I do think that the backside is calling for a couple little square pieces. Either as part of the earbud backpack or a utilility belt. 😁
Thanks for sharing your creation process on this one, awesome job sir, keep on keeping on!!
I'm totally with you! I went into this one with the mindset of keeping it simple. It's such a fine line of too little or too much! 😅
Thanks.
In the us there is anlaw against having non edible objects in food, simple reason to why they are banned
Noooombre, pa. Esos huevitos hasta tirados en la calle. Le quedó macizo. Las patas no le piden nada a las de hasbro. Un saludo pal maclunkey.
That paint technique looks really good for a propane tank or a water heater style tank.
Totally!
that's great !
Thanks!
That looks really cool. You need to start smuggling kindereggs in for your builds hahaha. Get a little under the table trade at shows 😉
😂 Ya gotta do what ya gotta do...
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I have hundreds of those from my time stationed in Germany. Made a bot myself out of one.
They're almost asking to be turned into a bot! 😀
Really awesome video I got into customizing I made my deathwatch mandalorian action figure a cape
That is awesome!
cool, I have collected those prison wallets and been trying to figure out what to do with them. I got those for my kids and they always give me the plastic containers. I turned one into a Minion once.
I can totally see the Minion in the shape.😃
The shape has so much potential, I love it!
Heres an idea, try making a robot’s head from an empty citadel bottle.
I like that idea!
👍
egg machine eggs and the prizes inside into a set of minis.
Don't say it
Don't say it.
Amoongus
You can buy a gun at walmart but the capsules are highly illegal and you gotta go to mexico to get them xD so weird.
Building toys to make the world a better place… at least a little more fun!😃
Idk I'm pretty sure I seen hundreds of these in Walmart yesterday. Though I'm in Montana where we raise our kids with common sense and respect.
So we have them here in the states they just don’t put the toys in a capsule. Outside of the states the capsule is literally inside of the chocolate egg. 😀
I was being processed for a work Permit to the U.S. and tge officer told me never to bring one of these into the U.S.
I thought he was pulling my leg but I kept a straight face as he never explained why
I have a buddy who had the same encounter…
R2d2 now has a little bro
😅❤️
The plastic part is not banned you can still get then at some import stores without the chocolate outer layer
Neat! Do you coat them with a protective lacquer or anything afterwards?
Sometimes... I didn't on this one but i may go back and do that. When I do I just use a matte of gloss Rustoleum clear coat.
Dave I totally love your work and videos; thanks man!! You go slow and explain everything. So interesting. Is there any way I could buy some of your robots?
Thanks. I have been taking my builds to Designer Con for the last two years and selling them there but if there's one you're interested in hit me up on email and I can let you know if it's still available. drtoys@yakstub.com
Rather appropriate of you to be wearing a Star Wars t-shirt. The robot could have been R2D2 predecessor or cheaper cousin...nice simple build.
😅
Nice channel my friend.
You are a bit like me,, collecting things,,(like plastic Easter eggs,,plastic small bottles,, bottlecaps and plastic clear test tubes and the list goes on)',parts,, for what reason.
Maybe the reason is this,, building stuff.
100% 😍
It has something to do with the fda and having a non food item inside a food item.
They can’t buy Kinder Eggs, but they can buy a Glock instead😂
These have been banned?! I can find these at my neighborhood gas stations here in Miami. LOL
😂
Quick historical trivia: The reasons Kinder Eggs are not allowed in America is actually because the F.D.A. has deemed that if it does not hold nutritional value, it is illegal to put in food. This was made a federal law, because there were cases of parents making complaints and pressing lawsuits against companies like Kinder due to the hazard this presented children. The most notable nail in the coffin being when back in the 1920s, a child had eaten the chocolate egg, opened the capsule inside, built the toy, and swallowed a part of the toy. Choking and unfortunately passing due to asphyxiation. The mother of the child sued Kinder over the incident and that's been the law ever since.
I knew it was something along those lines but didn’t know all those details. Thanks for sharing. 🙏
The toys inside the capsule are amazingly well designed. If a kid is stupid enough to mistake them for food then maybe they shouldn't be in the gene pool anyway. Just joking.
Yeah, I was surprised at how nice the toys are. I remember when Cracker Jacks actually had cool toys now they do a lame activity sheet or sticker...😅
That came out as a pretty cool banned build. I like it very cool. But I just kinda realized that a lot of your robot builds really remind me of HEAVY METAL influenced am I right or wrong?
😂 I was a 90's teen, a little more punk/grunge...😆
@@DRToysCreations Now you are making me feel old lol lol, but have you ever seen the movie Heavy Metal? 😁
@@garzilla7123 Nope.
@@DRToysCreations I think you would get a kick out of it, it is a pretty dang good animated movie for it's time. And like I said some of your builds have a feel of some of the robots and odd creatures in it. Not to mention that the music in it is pretty good too.
Not illegal here my wife busy them for the kids all the time.
This looks like the little gernade bots in Atomic Heart
Oh, I can see that!
👊🏻🐴💙💜💙💜💙
Try to make the character the bottle is based on out of the character shampoo bottles
🥚🍫
😋
they sell them in the us lol they have them at walmart
But not with the plastic egg. In Mexico the plastic egg is actually inside of the chocolate egg. I guess kids in the US we’re eating the plastic egg as well…🤷♂️
It's not the capsules that are banned in the US but the toys inside them as they are choking hazards. I think it's total BS as there are more choking hazards in a single Lego set vs 100 kinder eggs.
I've seen Kinder here in Ohio. They might have been banned before but that's probably over.
So you can get Kinder Morgan eggs in the states they just don’t do the capsule inside of the chocolate. In Mexico and Europe the plastic capsule is literally inside of the chocolate egg.😃
lmao freedom land for sure. cant even have kinder eggs
I just want the capsules! LOL
En chile igual los eliminaron! Fue uno de los dias mas tristes de mi infancia! Todo por la gorda bachelet! U_U
can you show how to make a gun for minis from scratch
So I have done a few, it's not my expertise but still fun. Here are the links below.
