Here I present you my latest custom, Compactor. Always thought he was the second best in the Create a character contest that Fearless Photog won. Decided to make him in his modern mini-comic looks, with an heroic face. Been thinking about making him since I found some suction cups that came free in a cereal pack ages ago. Finally got round to do it.
Made also a custom packaging box to reuse some of the ones I kept around but never used.
Just found my way back to this post after a year and a half... Yes I am the same John Rowe that created the concept for Compactor MANY years ago. It was a great experience and was nice to see them recently bring Compactor back out in the Mini-Mag. I was unaware until finding this post accidentally and since then was able to purchase the Fearless Photog Character and also get the Mini-Mag as well. So thank you for that info, I appreciate it! My original concept submitted for the contest wasn't nearly as polished as what ended up in the magazine and papers (and in your re-creation), same as with the other finalists entries as well. Very nice to see your take/adaptation of my concept. I'll be in touch!
So honoured to speak with you, part of MOTU living history . Would be nice to see the original, if only to see where all comes from. After I made this Compactor, I made another one for my collection, but this understanding the character as an Evil Warrior (as before the mini-mag came out, I always saw Compactor's face as rugged and evil). I will post him in the coming days. Take care.
