What if you love the music of Kraftwerk and you just have to have action figures of the guys? Well, that’s something you just can’t buy, so of course you’re going to go make it yourself.
Check this out.
I’ve bought some old Mattel Ken figures (that guy from Barbie, you know) at flea markets, “decapitated” them and sculpted the Kraftwerk heads to apply them onto the bodies.
First of all I sculpted them and then I built moulds and casted them with resin.
Then I realized how hard it is to get some clothes for Ken – even in good toy stores!
So I had to sew the red shirts and grey pants on my own – horrible work!
Thank god I found some black shoes at the flea market!
Amazing work and dedication by Dirk Roessler – I love it!

Wow! That's pretty cool. Love the sculpted heads you made. I think you did a great job on sewing the clothes too!
