Akonáhle dospeješ, zábava sa doslova čoraz viac vytráca z tvojho života. Ten už nie je ani zďaleka taký bezstarostný ako kedysi, a preto hľadáš mnoho rôznych spôsobov, ako si zlepšiť náladu. Aj dospelí sa potrebujú hrať. To si možno povedal aj Dan Polydoris, ktorý vymyslel originálne hračky pre dospelých. A nie, nie sú to erotické hračky.

Dospelák, ktorý sa zabáva výrobou figúrok

Dan Polydoris vytvoril svoj projekt s figúrkami pre dospelých s názvom Death by Toys. V rámci tohto projektu predáva svoje ručne maľované figúrky alebo hračky, ktoré sa venujú rôznorodej tematike. Ako na svojom webe píše, je to firma, ktorá stojí na jednom človeku, teda na ňom, a predáva originálne a limitované série figúrok.

(Update: Sold.) I also threw this Crocodile Dundee set in the store (link in bio and hit Shop). This is my original set, but I have a bunch more cast that I’ll release next year. Until then, someone grab this one. Thx, and g’day. . . . . . . . . . . #crocodiledundee #paulhogan #crocodile #thatsnotaknife #knife #huntingknife #80s #80smovie #sculpey #arttoy #fanart #toypics #toyartistry #toycollector #bootlegtoy #arttoy #80skid #deathbytoys

Z každého druhu je vždy len jediná figúrka, a to preto, lebo ich Dan sám ručne upravuje zo starých hračiek a predmetov, ktoré našiel. Aj napriek tomu, že môžu figúrky vyzerať ako vyrobené v nejakej továrni, všetky sú ručne upravované a venuje im samostatnú pozornosť. S predajom takýchto postavičiek začal už  v roku 2010 a netrvalo dlho, kým získali veľkú popularitu.

Hračky pre dospelých s dôvtipom

Na jeho e-shope nájdeš rôzne hračky, ktoré odrážajú momenty zo života dospelého človeka. Rozhodne mu pri vymýšľaní týchto figúrok nechýbal humor. Medzi hračkami nájdeš zobrazený napríklad „tvoj milostný život“ alebo „plač v sprche“. 

Pri vytváraní figúrok čerpá inšpiráciu aj z rôznych populárnych filmov, prípadne seriálov, ako napríklad Jackass. Spôsoby, akými sa dokáže pri vytváraní hračiek vynájsť, sú naozaj nápadité. Rozhodne stoja za povšimnutie aj popisy hračiek, pri ktorých je Dan jednoznačne úplne úprimný.

Ja, vzdávajúci sa a kráčajúci do oceánu so všetkým oblečením na sebe. Alebo ako vyzerá život dospelého.

(Update: Both sold.) I’m super excited for summer so I can finally enjoy my favorite activity. I made matching his/hers versions of this (Swipe->) and put each of them in the store (link in bio and hit Shop). I only made one of each, so grab them now before icy death takes you. . . . . . . . . #arttoy #toys #actionfigures #bootlegtoys #givingup #ocean #beachday #toyslagram #toyartistry #artistsofinstagram #instatoys #toygroup #vintagetoys #toyshelf #shelfie #collectorlife #toycollection #makeart #lifeisshort #figurelife #toystagram #retrotoys #deathbytoys

Plač v sprche

I’m finally home after a long trip tending to some gnarly and depressing family stuff. Celebrating my return with this tribute I made to a classic morning routine that helps with facing the tedious minutiae of day-to-day existence.

Zakakaná plienka Baby Yodu

(Update: Sold out. I will prob add more soon.) I’m not sure what Baby Yoda’s shit would look like, and I don’t think it was ever established in The Mandalorian, so we can all just assume this is now canon. I made a few of these and put them in the store (link in bio and hit Shop), so grab some shit before it’s gone. . . . . . . . #babyyoda #babyyodamemes #starwarsfigures #vintagestarwars #vintagetoys #kennerstarwars #starwarsfigures #themandalorian #yoda #dirtydiaper #dadlife #babylife #starwarsmeme #bootlegtoys #arttoys #custommade #customtoy #fanart #bootlegtoy #starwarstoys #starwarsfan #actionfigures #diaper #deathbytoys

Svedok Jehovov a jeho najväčšia zbraň, zvonček pri dverách

Recreate the classic religion with my new Jehovah’s Witness Playset. (UPDATE: These sold out but I will add more next month). It’s literally just a resin-cast doorbell. I put a couple of these in the store (link in bio and hit Shop) and will likely add a few more once I finish up an urgent commission. Anyway, apologies to my religious friends, but in my defense I’m pretty much just a piece of shit with arms and legs. . . . . . . . . #jehovahswitnesses #doorbell #doortodoor #religion #novelty #resinart #resintoys #resinempire #bootlegtoy #custommade #parody #toys #toypics #toyartistry #artistsofinsta #toyphotogallery #toylover #toyboner #imgoingtohell #worthit #toycrewbuddies #jesusstuff #praisethelord #blaspheme #toylife #deathbytoys

I just put 20 more of these highly-articulated, movie-accurate Fog Action Figures in my online store. These always sell out quickly, so don’t miss out. Visit deathbytoys.com and hit shop to get after one. Now I’m off to take a swim out in the waters around Spivey Point. . . . . . . . #thefog #fog #johncarpenter #horrormovies #cotton #cottonballs #horrortoys #horrorcollector #novelty #cheapgag #bootlegtoy #custommade #toypics #toydisplay #toyworld #toystagram #toycrewbuddies #instahorror #80smovies #80skid #80stoys #toycollection #actionfigures #actionfigurecollector #deathbytoys

Seriál Jackass

View this post on Instagram

One of my GI Joes exploded when the crappy replacement band snapped, and it inspired me to make this quick one-off tribute to Jackass. This is pretty much what I’d expect a figure from this show to look like. Unless @johnnyknoxville wants it as a thank you gift for all the times I’ve peed myself from laughing while watching, I’ll prob just put it in the store. . . . . . #jackass #johnnyknoxville #mtv #broken #customtoy #bootleg #bootlegtoys #tribute #gijoe #gijoes #donttrythisathome #tvshows #toypics #fanart #toyworld #toyhunter #toycrewbuddies #actionfigurephotography #toyart #deathbytoys

Nechýba ani figúrka k populárnemu seriálu Stranger Things

View this post on Instagram

Throwing it back on this #tbt to a one-off I made of one of my favorite Stranger Things characters. Bob's death was such an intense scene that I had to give him his own fig. This one ended being bought by @jacycatlin who I have since learned is an insanely funny comedian. Anyway, this truly was an exciting and unforgettable trip down memory lane that I think we'll all cherish forever. #throwback #throwbackthursday #memorylane #bobnewby #seanastin #strangerthings #netflix #custom #customtoys #fanart #arttoys #dead #toyshelf #toypics #toygroup #toycustom #actionfigurephotography #actionfigurecollection @seanastin #deathbytoys
