ORLANDO, Saturday, 12/16/06: A roster of comics industry artists had their
handywork on display at Überbot, in Winter Park Florida, in preparation for
the Holiday Heroes charity auction.
Munnys designed by Evan Dorkin, Matt Wagner, Phil Noto, David Mack, Pop
Mhan, Dave Johnson and Mike Allred – just to name a few – were on display
and attracted the attention of many a comics and designer toy fan.
"It’s the first time any comics artist has designed one of these figures,"
said Überbot owner Steve Lewis.

Dave Johnson’s "Blood Spork" received a great deal of attention and was one
of the first Munnys to receive a bid on the eBay auction.
During a recent phone interview, Johnson, whose credits include covers for
the 100 Bullets comic and designs for the first season of the Cartoon
Network series Ben 10, was enthusiastic at the idea of his first venture in
the designer toy relm. "I’ve never done anything like this before but always
wanted to."

Phil Noto, whose slick, 70’s style Bond-girl inspired artwork has adorned
books such as Birds of Prey and Danger Girl, made a Munny version of 70’s
supermodel Twiggy.
"The sculpting wasn’t so bad but the paint job was a challenge," said Noto
who was on hand for the show.

In addition to Holiday Heroes, the works of over 50 local Munny enthusiasts were on display for Überbot’s 3rd Munny Show. Designs ranging from the Flash
villian Captain Cold to a working Munny video monitor were enjoyed by all.
The eBay auction, benefitting Toys For Tots, will run through 12/24. You can learn more about Holiday Heroes and visit the eBay auction pages to bid on a Munny [ed: Auctions end on Christmas Eve].
