+DR Toys - Custom Toys Ever since I was a kid, I have always hung on to bits and pieces of stuff(Caps, batteries, all sorts of tiny pieces of plastic). I have always had in my possession TONS of these materials inside my desk drawers. Not too long ago, I came across your AWESOME CHANNEL. It has inspired me to finally use these items,
Man, you have some truly inspirational ideas. One of the things I really love about your builds is that you don't use expensive tools or equipment. Everything you do is accessible to us ordinary mortals. Thanks so much.
its amazing how you give a great, rotating view of the finished product from all angles and actually let your audience see what you made. the vast majority of these craft style channels will go into extreme detail about the process but then show the finished product for like 8 seconds, all zoomed in and bad angles. maybe get about a half second that shows the entire project, from 1 angle. iuts a very strange trend and im happy to find a channel that doesnt follow that trend
One thing that’d would’ve been super cool is adding a little more depth on the legs with polystyrene pieces. All in all though, turned out super freaking cool!
My first impression when I saw this was a robot barber who took a "little" too much off the top lol. The implied facial hair and the rest of the details turned out great!
Wow. That little bit of flicker adds a lot to the finished product. Also, it looks like you made your robot like I run a D&D game. You've got everything you need. It may not turn out like you expect, but by the end, you had fun, gained some experience for next time, and all turned out well, regardless of what we thought was going to happen. 😉
This looks great! At first the capsule made me think of like a water cooler, but then you out the "moustache and goatee" on and it reminded me of the kind of old sensei guy you see in anime, with the long droopy moustache XD
I was kinda thinking the old guy that's been in the shop for 20 years and is really good at what he does but he's grumpy and everyone is afraid of him... LOL
Gotta say I've been thinking of making a wh40k 1950s retro scifi inspired army with robots like this and your design combined with some images from World War Robot was just the inspiration I needed, it looks functional but kind of clunky and cute at the same time. I'll be working in Blender admittedly but this was awesome.
Excellent build! The light really does bring that extra bit of flair and the features on the droid do make it look like a little old man trying to put his friend back together! Thanks for another great video!
Looking at this as a guy who builds computers, I can advise you to try scrapping a broken power supply for... stuff. And psu connectors can be disassembled (look into custom pc cable creation to see how exactly). Have fun.
I just recently found your channel and subscribed. Im a multi media kind of artist with adhd and go through phases. I saw some of the same pieces you're using at Dollar Tree and started making space craft from them. The couple of robots I started on just fizzled out... shrug... I think if you just turn the bases over they will seem to be floating.. maybe a glow wire or several leds for under glow but I dont do electronics so... this little guy is really cool!
Don't know if you've ever read Sam Slade Robo Hunter from the 2000AD comic, but that guy reminds me of his robot cigar, Stogie, he was kind of a taking vape. It's irrelevant though, excellent work as always
Once again; never ceases to amaze and impress. Quick question? Have you always been inclined to make things from everyday objects? Your perspective on things that most wouldn’t consider and reshaping them with new life is intriguing. Maybe a separate video on your perspectives from a throw away society would be awesome too!
So growing up we never had much so I always went into the garage and dug through my dads junk boxes and made my own creations! I think kids need to get away from the iPad and phones and go build forts and bike ramps out of cinder blocks and old plywood! I think giving a kid some nails a hammer and an old wooden pallet and say have fun is missing today... But i'm probably just turning into an old man!
@@DRToysCreations I can relate to your story very much. I look at my own children with all they have and you’ve sparked my curiosity to see what it is they can do with some odds and ends. Having an imagination as a child, likely helps us to overcome obstacles later in our journeys. I’m scared to think what we wouldn’t create if we hadn’t been in those situations. Thank you for the reply.
@@DRToysCreations I agree totally Dave. I think children that are on the electronics all the time are really missing out. Society will figure that out later as usual, when these kids grow up and can't succeed in relationships and life in general. Just my opinion. My parents sent us outside to play ALL THE TIME. Of course, living in Santa Barbara that was the best!
Love it! I can't believe you gained 3k subs in a WEEK! Well actually, I CAN believe it, but amazing! I haven't done a maintenance bot myself, but I can see that on my horizon. Awesome work as always!
I made a few haul videos but they didn’t get many views… I was thinking about doing shorts and showing what I got, how much it was, a little about it and where I got it…
Dude this is so cool! I just found your channel and I absolutely love watching you build these 'junk art' pieces. My dad loved doing art and he inspired my passion for creativity. He passed away when I was a kid, but before he passed, sometimes we used to walk along railroad tracks and back roads collecting junk and trash to take home and turn into art pieces. This brought back memories of doing that with him and inspires me to make some more junk art! :)
Thank you for sharing that with me! I know I’m not the best builder out there and my videos aren’t as polished as I would like but honestly I just want to encourage and inspire others to not be afraid to create. 😃 Thanks again.
I just found your channel, Dave! Super excited to see another great craft/toy diy channel and explore your videos! Your shirt has me wondering - Would you do a Godzilla from trash? 😃🦖
I have been thinking about a Godzilla for a while now… the way I build is a little strange, I will have an idea for months even years then one day I’ll see a part or bit and it just happens.🤷♂️ Hard to explain but there’s a lot of ideas bouncing around in my head…
@@DRToysCreations I've been binging your videos since I commented. Lol! I noticed the parts you use and get inspired by really lend themselves to robots and more mechanical figures. I bet a Mechagodzilla would be a lot easier to build than an organic style figure. I apologize for the added suggestion since I know about the warehouse of ideas personally, but if you ever get to him, even a MechaGodzilla with mostly robot pieces and just a little bit of organic Godzilla still on top might look cool. Even if you never get to it, either way, I'm here for it! Thank you for the awesome content! (The videos on leds was really helpful! Though, I would love to see a detailed version of how you used the clear lego to diffuse the led, but I'm sure I'll figure it out if I play around with it enough.)
Hi, I am not sure how I came across your channel, but I am delighted I did. I have been thinking, no dreaming of this kind of making and tinkering...but was not sure how to get started. Do you just pick up/ buy broken, toys, models etc you think are cool for something? Like from yard sales, or flea markets and discount bins? I have loads of bits from my fpv drone, RC car and mini balsa plane building hobbies...(wires, metal tubes, plastic pieces loads....but missing things like the you also seem to just pop up in a videos like feet or guns or something similar. I know you usually find 1 part and work from that. Any help on how to gather things what to look out for etc would be great. Thanks!
Great question! So my UA-cam channel actually came out of having collected so many toys over the years and not knowing what to do with them. I love to yard sales and go thrifting to the point where I can’t help from buying a cool toy when I see it, I have tubs and tubs full of action figures and toys!😂 My builds are rarely planned out but instead I see a toy and pretty much instantly know what I want it to be, it weird because I will have looked at the toy for months even years with no inspiration then all of the sudden it hits me… 😂 Not sure if that’s normal or not 😂 If you’re in the states the Final Faction action figures from the Dollar Tree are a great place to start and practice on or old .25 cents action figures from a yardsale are even better!
Okay, second video of yours I watched, lol you are using some old school modeling tricks, shoe polish washes in another video, poor man's modeling putty with baking soda, I'll give you one, want clear plastic to look like glass and not fog up when modeling or strong glue is used? Get yourself a bottle of Pledge Floor Shine it's an ultra clear ultra shiny chemical used to be called future. Even if it's yellowing it will dry clear, sometimes people will throw it away or free at garage sales because it's yellowing but to a modeler it's liquid gold! You can even run it straight through an airbrush and it's a great ultra shiny clear coat to protect models, like I said it may yellow in liquid form but once dry it dries clear. It's super durable too, lol was made for floors lol. Anyway, I'm sold and you have another subscriber! I always give a thumbs up to the channels I belong too, and that really helps to grow your channel, let's do this!!!
I have seen this in the past but have never tried it. Running it through the air brush is a great tip! Thanks so much also thanks for the sub! I appreciate it. Just a toy nerd hoping to inspire others to go make cool stuff! 😀
I have a few small travel hairspray cantainers that look like a propane tank or something... It's hasn't come to me yet but I'm gonna make something out of them! LOL
Hey men, i dont want yo bother you but i think you should change the begining of your videos, i think it could be more entretain to see the first person camera searching thinks in the garbage or something like that, im a designer and i think i could help you take more atention to your proyects, please dont hate me, i wish i could help to you to improvee your videos, another idea could be a 360 rounding camera o a rotative platform in slow motion about the part your are going to show us, with a great ilumination and a good resolution your videos could be way better, see you, i love your job, i wish i could do, the same thing you do, buut i so poor that i cant give the chance but you can, i admire you, thanks
Thanks for the ideas. I'm poor as well so as it grows I will definitely invest in nicer equipment and all that fun stuff. : ) For now I'm just enjoying the hobby. : )
You'd never think it was made from a chap stick!
Now that's a handsome little chap!

Dr. Youre awesome. Inspirational. Thanks
Man, you have some truly inspirational ideas. One of the things I really love about your builds is that you don't use expensive tools or equipment. Everything you do is accessible to us ordinary mortals. Thanks so much.
The main reason is because I’m cheap!😂😂
Great idea Doc using Sand Paper
To put the Curve in the part.
I gut do this when making my helmets
☝🏽😂 RIGHT ON WITH THE LED LIGHTS 👍🏽
Thanks
Im kinda addicted watching these
Awesome. Thanks!

What doesn't look like a little robot to you? This is a great scene, and that little bit of flickering light is a nice finishing touch.
😅
Fantastic. That is all.
Thanks!
I have been inspired with your work. And now I make tanks in seventy-second scale in the style of warhammer, thank you
That’s so awesome to hear! Thanks so much!
Great looking welder bot , you could have him welding panels on a space craft 😉 👍
I love that!
One thing that’d would’ve been super cool is adding a little more depth on the legs with polystyrene pieces. All in all though, turned out super freaking cool!
Yeah, I agree. I always find myself crunched for time to get the video posted. It’s that fine line of doing it right and getting the video out…😅
You inspire me a lot fulfill completely my childhood. Love.
Sooooo cool. Amazing one. Thank you so much for this!!! Much love.
You are so welcome
You are inspiring. Thank you.
That was a really excellent build
Every episode I've seen so far
DR Toys: "I found this thing and I thought, that would make a pretty cool little robot."
Me: "He wasn't wrong."
😅 Thanks!
Very impressive work!! Love it!!
Awesome looking
Wow! Awesome!
Very impressive, I like it a lot
amazing work i love the technique used to get the parts to fit on surface using sand paper wrapped around the surface.
Thanks. I’m sure I wasn’t the first to do this but it seemed like it would work so I went for it.😃
Epic work
Another cool bot was made
Noice, cheers Graham
Really amazing build as always I love it.
Hey Dave, I really like the concept and look of this whole build. Great job!
My first impression when I saw this was a robot barber who took a "little" too much off the top lol. The implied facial hair and the rest of the details turned out great!
Thats funny! 😄
Thanks!
that is stunningly creative.
Thanks
I was like I wonder what he is going to do with frozen taquitos lol lol lol
😂
Wow. That little bit of flicker adds a lot to the finished product. Also, it looks like you made your robot like I run a D&D game. You've got everything you need. It may not turn out like you expect, but by the end, you had fun, gained some experience for next time, and all turned out well, regardless of what we thought was going to happen. 😉
Thanks. Yeah, sometimes the build kinda tell you what it's gonna be and you just have to follow! : )
well done !!
Cool 😎 love it awesome 👍😎❤🎉
Love this one, really great billt
me and a friend of mine used to take old gundams pull them apart and make our own. very very satisfying
Genius. I am gonna end up watching all your videos today.
😂
Fantastic!
Thanks!🙏
As always my friend Very Cool, and so is your shirt.
Thanks!
Nice and creative
Welcome to the team E-3 ❤
You're awesome, my dude
Love it, a brilliant little scene
I agree
Thanks! : )
Fantastic! Love the flickering light. If I didn’t know it was a chapstick tube, I never would’ve guessed it.
Awesome! Thanks.
Really inspiring work
Great to hear! Thanks
Welderbot,that’s a cool concept that I don’t recall ever seeing in any sci fi setting. Awesome build.
You should watch wall-e then haha, burn-e is also a welder bot
I made a mechanic bot a while back, the parts I have kinda pointed me in the direction of the welder Bot/ : )
Cool little junkbot. I need to do one just to build something that’s not a Hot Wheels car thing. Great work
I've done one Hot Wheels and those things are hard to work with! 😆
Really sick beat at the end there it captures the techy atmosphere of the scene
very cool!
Man, this robot is awesome, and also kinda looks like Homer Simpson xD
DOH! 😄
😍Very cool, always love your imagination for the creations you build!!!👍
Thanks! : )
Dude, love the sparking effect on the fixed robot!
Thanks! : )
Amazing!!
Cool man
This looks great! At first the capsule made me think of like a water cooler, but then you out the "moustache and goatee" on and it reminded me of the kind of old sensei guy you see in anime, with the long droopy moustache XD

@@DRToysCreations haha, that's definitely it!
Love your work man
I appreciate that!
Wow! That is great. I think this is one of your best builds and dioramas yet. It looks like the robot is actually welding. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks!
Wow, muy ingenioso.
Looks amazing!!! The weathering on the paint job definitely completes the robot 😊
Gotta say I've been thinking of making a wh40k 1950s retro scifi inspired army with robots like this and your design combined with some images from World War Robot was just the inspiration I needed, it looks functional but kind of clunky and cute at the same time.

Awesome. A 3D file is nice because you can make more as needed! : )
Such a lovely project !
*"Goatie & Mustache"*
Now he kinda reminds me of Geppetto.
Pun not intended!
😅
@@DRToysCreations 😁
Excellent build! The light really does bring that extra bit of flair and the features on the droid do make it look like a little old man trying to put his friend back together! Thanks for another great video!
i love it !
Great job just needed a little smoke coming from the welding
That would be awesome!
Looking at this as a guy who builds computers, I can advise you to try scrapping a broken power supply for... stuff. And psu connectors can be disassembled (look into custom pc cable creation to see how exactly). Have fun.
Thanks!
All I can say is dude your creativity is inspiring. Keep up the great work.

This is cool, can you make a robot from household items like: bottle caps, stick, etc...
I have a few on my channel : )
It looks awesome!! I love the work you do
You've confirmed what I already knew: never organize, you will lose something.
😂 Awesome bot and keep that momentum going, buddy!!
I have been looking for over a week and I have no clue where they are! LOL
@@DRToysCreations 🤣

What if your trash can had a used rubber ? Howed you use that on your robot ?
🤔 😅
👊😉
its him xD

My builds are rarely planned out but instead I see a toy and pretty much instantly know what I want it to be, it weird because I will have looked at the toy for months even years with no inspiration then all of the sudden it hits me… 😂

If you’re in the states the Final Faction action figures from the Dollar Tree are a great place to start and practice on or old .25 cents action figures from a yardsale are even better!

What did you b use to scribe the Panel Lines
It was some sharp pointy thing that came with some sculpting tools I bought... not actually sure what it's called.
Okay, second video of yours I watched, lol you are using some old school modeling tricks, shoe polish washes in another video, poor man's modeling putty with baking soda, I'll give you one, want clear plastic to look like glass and not fog up when modeling or strong glue is used? Get yourself a bottle of Pledge Floor Shine it's an ultra clear ultra shiny chemical used to be called future.

You can even run it straight through an airbrush and it's a great ultra shiny clear coat to protect models, like I said it may yellow in liquid form but once dry it dries clear.

think back to the future and pick any car but were looking for as good ferrari has a prototype but maybe a batmobile could beat it
hover cars
It looks like someone took a gas cylinder and made a robot out of it.
I have a few small travel hairspray cantainers that look like a propane tank or something... It's hasn't come to me yet but I'm gonna make something out of them! LOL
