Lunchtime poll: Toy Art

[cdave]

[Poll #1487979]

I tweeted a link to this, and someone was creeped out by the headless My Little Pony in the background of the last shot. I can see why dismantling something that holds the potential to be an object which someone feels an emotional connection to could be upsetting. But I must admit I don't really feel it.

{eta: To clarify, it's that model in particular, see also: The 21 Awesomest Superhero Mods for My Little Pony.}

But creepy in an arty sort of way.

That's why it's not checkboxes :)

Amusingly, the only pony out of the superhero mods that struck me as creepy was The Tick. Of course, given the need to present that prodigious jawline, I shouldn't be surprised...

It's not the final product. It's the idea of taking of a saw to toy that's creepy I think.

Predominantly Creepy, I would say

Wow, that is several kinds of super-duper!

Ooh, it's like the toys in Evil Sid's bedroom in Toy Story...

Hence the "name" of the poll :)

Not exactly creepy; just a bit weird. I've got friends who do the whole doll collecting/modding thing, and I just think it's a weird pasttime for a grown-up. Then again, I see the inherent artistry involved, and I'm sure they think my obsession with Christian homemakers blogs is equally weird, so I'm not hatin' on them or anything. We're all weird :D
