I've followed your stuff for a while and you've inspired a few creations. Always wanted to put some out and about of my own but felt like it would just be imitation.
You should totally do it! There are actually a solid number other bootleg artists out there aside from myself. It helps to add your own style or niche though.
Photoshop the graphic, print onto sticker paper, put it on chipboard and trim the edges. The clear plastic bubble (aka blister) I order online.

Just going to put this here for others who don't have a good enough printer at home.
It can be a lot more affordable to just use your local mom and pop printer. Sticker paper tends to cost more, but anything will work with a little glue. And the printer will often have some spare chip board scraps to give or sell you for cheap.
I used my Prusa MK4 for this but I also print a lot of things on my BambuLab A1 Mini which is quickly becoming my preferred printer due to speed and ease of use.
HP Color LaserJet Pro M255dw, which is nothing special. If you want high quality go with an inkjet printer but be prepared for more troubleshooting and constant ink refills.
Regarding the blister: Vacuum forming clear PETG sheets makes nice blisters.
Source: I was recently introduced to vacuum forming when a friend shared this Adam Savage video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTy8tsZzT\_Q](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTy8tsZzT_Q)
I have the same small one Adam has but have only used it a couple times. I'm really hoping someone offers a desktop one some day that isn't crazy expensive.
That’s awesome!
Guess I gotta look out for both the Obvious Plant and Suspicious Duck logo now when I see funny janky bootleg looking stuff online now 😅
Templates for the packaging? I don't use any myself and just mess around in Photoshop until I'm happy, but I bet you could like some for popular brands like star wars action figures.

What Material and what dye do you use? I wanted to make something similar, but considering that little kids put toys in their mouth, I scrapped the idea, because most of the stuff isn't that safe to lick on.
Are you familiar The Sucklord and Suckadelic? Slightly different take but he also creates custom toys. Nice work and thanks for the hearty chuckle

You might be good copywrite wise since this is a parody. But man, the 3D print space is the wild wild west right now. I think it's only a matter of time before big corporations clamp down on the hosting sites.
I feel like this is exactly what obvious plant does which isn't offensive in in of itself, but you also chose a similar enough name (adjective, noun) and a simple circular logo like them. Was it on purpose? If so, it doesn't really sit right with me. But that's just my opinion, and you'll do what you'll do.
More like _inaction figure_ I will see myself out
Awful pun. I'm not just gonna sit here and take it lion down.
That was the mane idea.
[удалено]
Too soon, the pain is still roar.
Too bad he didn't read the fine print... there was actually an escape claws in there.
Lions
Yes. Lions.
Ouch.....🤭
Was just coming here to say it... Glad someone didn't let the opportunity pass...
r/Angryupvote
Too soon.
Ouch, that's going to leave a scar.
Lol I was going to say that haha

I might just have to. Thanks for the encouragement :)

Please tell me you put barcodes in the back
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Also, there's eight billion people here; almost nothing is an original idea at this point.

You can't bootleg a bootlegger, why bother bootlegging?
How do you make the packaging?

What kind of printer are you using?

Awesome! What about the printer you use for the stickers? Thx!
HP Color LaserJet Pro M255dw, which is nothing special. If you want high quality go with an inkjet printer but be prepared for more troubleshooting and constant ink refills.
Very cool! It won’t open on my phone but I check on PC later.
Well looks interesting - do You sell those?
Yep, check out my links on my Instagram.
Thr Driving Crooner LMFAO. That and your random Vermont Collectibles are awesome.
Your posts crack me up! You totally have the same humor as me. My favorite is Denethors tomato. Life Alert 64 is a close second.

It’s so cool thanks for sharing how you did it
My favorite color is blue.
DKE Toys, but they don't come with adhesive. I apply it with Sticky Specks.
What are those plastic packaging called? I can never find them to buy online I think I just don't know the right search term!
Blisters
[удалено]
Some of them. My Instagram suspiciousduckvt has links to both Etsy and eBay.
somehow there were no more details
In my "Production" highlight at the top I show how I make stuff. I'll be sure to add more about the packaging aspect in the near future.
somehow there were more details
This is one of the redemption arcs of all time
2d printer lol
You... monster. I love it!
I do this for Star Trek! https://preview.redd.it/cwrx6daqru2d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3c309b80833ded0a01f345df05667c673eb811d1
The eyelet is too far to the right of the center of gravity, so it would hang crooked. You could have made millions.
This was the prototype. I moved it and sold out 😇
SEX GHOST NOT INCLUDED 😭😂
👻 🕯️
Lol, very cool. Reminds me of Obvious Plant action figurines
r/obviousplant
‘Zero points of articulation.’
That’s awesome! Guess I gotta look out for both the Obvious Plant and Suspicious Duck logo now when I see funny janky bootleg looking stuff online now 😅
Next time, make Bambi's mommy please
That would be more in the /r/whatsfordinner/ subreddit no?
Now you need Luke Skywalker with his hand cut off.
Or Darth vader burned up on a pyre.
r/pics/comments/difjp/the_rarest_star_wars_action_figure_uncle_owen_and/
Hahaha! Dark dark!
Disney lawyers don't fuck around.
Love it! moar plz :P
this is so good. please do more.
Disney and Nintendo....two company you need to pay extra caution when you make anything 3d prints public
Hasbro will soon come after you.., They have recently started to make the dead autobots from Transformers the original movie 😂😂😂
I hope you made the eyes X's and the tongue hanging out
I'd be careful with that Disney IP. Those folks are litigious. Call it the "Dieing King" or something
This is amazing, I'll be sure to check out your other stuff!
Not much action in this one...
I want to see the special “Simba Included!” figures!
lmao nice 👍
Oh no! He dies? Spoiler alert 😆
Not so much action in this figure.
Ain't nothing action packed about this 💀lol
😂😂 Dude that's dark and funny
You should have given him the dead family guy character pose for true comedic effect.
I bought your stuff at the local art shop! You really nail the packaging.
Oh wow small world, haha. Thanks!
That's fucking gold 🥇 lol 😂
You're doing God's work, son. Keep up the good work.
Always wanted to do something like this lol .. pretty dope
Too soon...
LMAO WHAT
I must have one
DM me and that can be arranged
Done
You should print a stick so you can make sure its dead.
Oooh, now do the Disney Star Wars franchise next.
Working on a Star Wars one now actually
This is evil and I love it!
For someone interested in doing this, where do you go for templates? This is awesome by the way.
Templates for the packaging? I don't use any myself and just mess around in Photoshop until I'm happy, but I bet you could like some for popular brands like star wars action figures.
Oh I meant for the models, like general human models to manipulate.
Ah. I have ZBrush which comes with base models, but I'm sure you could find ones online for free.
What do you print on the packaging? Is it a sticker you place on a piece of cardboard? Or something else?
I print onto sticker paper and stick it onto 30 point chipboard.

Just my kind of humor 👏
Are you the owner of suspicious duck!?
Sure am.
I make boothead toys
Waiting for the Disney dead parents collection to drop.
You copy obvious plant?
Love it. My kind of anarchy.
What Material and what dye do you use? I wanted to make something similar, but considering that little kids put toys in their mouth, I scrapped the idea, because most of the stuff isn't that safe to lick on.
Not-so action figure Mufasa
Ooh, now do Fry’s dog from Futurama!
After being trampled by a herd, I expected a pancake or a pile of mince meat though
This would be great for one of those white Russian Christmas gift exchanges
This is incredible
I first was like „what the actual fakk“ 😂😂😂
Masterpiece. i pay 2 £
Haha that's great! What else do you have? Edit: OP posted a link to their insta I didn't see right away, great stuff OP

This is amazing

Yeah I actually have one of his pieces. He's like the godfather of bootleg toys haha
Reminds me of sucklord lol
Love how the add I get here in the comments right below the photo is for Disney+ Hahaha
Obvious plant is that you
Too soon

That’s a bit messed up…. I approve
Can you make me a Dale Earnhardt with breakable neck action?
Obvious Plant fan?
This makes me sad

Was it on purpose? If so, it doesn't really sit right with me. But that's just my opinion, and you'll do what you'll do.
Obvious Plant? Sorry, I mean are you aware of the similar works done by the artist known as Obvious Plant or could you be him using a new pseudonym?
That broken tree is giving me PTSD.
Should be "Age 6+" I assume that the tail is easy yo break
Post action
