| Marvelous Margaret Potato Head She demolishes poor workflow! |
Why a potato head? You may be wondering...
Well, it started out with this little toy collection I started on my desk...
 |
| Miss Marvelous joins the Super Hero/Star Wars/Marvel Pop Taters, PacMan, Back to the Future, and Ghostbusters |
And my colleagues thought, the only appropriate send off would be to make a super hero potato head of yours truly. Complete with frequently seen accessories like my fingerless gloves and my purple hair streak.
They started with a concept sketch, and then the team set to work.
Vinny drew an illustrator version of Miss Marvelous. She's carrying the DS "Compass" as a shield. After all, she's a super hero, she needs some kind of weaponry. Ben 3D modeled the shield and had it 3D printed.
The team purchased some potato parts and combined parts of Mr. and Mrs. Potato Heads to get the right elements in place. Mrs. Potato Head had blond hair and eyelashes, so Vinny painted them black. Additionally he painted the purple streak in too.
Alex custom made the box, including the feet cutout so Miss Marvelous didn't rock around inside.
And of course, have to pitch the fact that it is extremely tasty with cheese (it is a potato after all) and of course it has to be in French as well (the parent company - DS - is French)
Chinloo created the fingerless gloves by creating a fingerless glove! She took a normal sized magic glove, cut off the finger tips which is about the size of Miss Marvelous's hand, and then cut the tip off and a small side hole to fit the potato hand. She then used sparkly glue to keep it from fraying at the edges.
But wait, there's more!
Miss Marvelous is carrying a Batdz Maru backpack, complete with purple backpack straps made from purple electrical tape!
So of course, the only reasonable thing for me to do is dress as my potato head the next day. Complete with the purple shoes and red hoodie.
Badtz Maru is not amused... but then, he never is. =D
And there you have it - how I became a potato head. :)
