I can't even tell if the archangel one is a dunny. Looks awesome, but I'm gonna have to take it in a bit more.

The Archangel Anathema has strayed a bit too far from the Dunny shape for my liking, but the sculpt and paintjob are spot on.

Swiss has an awesome concept, but the execution is not quite as good...

Tough choice!

Archangel is insane. I know some people like to see the original dunny form, but I don't really care.

Swiss is cool. Reminds of one of the production dunnys. Could be a bit cleaner though.

nice! in my opinion the archangel has way too much sculpey to be a dunny anymore....it would go with my mcfarlane action figures perfectly, but would stand out like a sore thumb next to my dunnys....

that being said, that looks like something kevin gosselin would do! (that's meant to be a compliment) awesome job and dope sculpting skills!

the swiss one is like a hard days night dunny mixed with a t-cain wood dunny... i like it... simple yet effective. must have taken forever to fill in those holes!

complicated vs. simple.... tough one! gotta come back to it...

meh, a lot of dunnys are pretty heavily sculpted (nervis, kgosselin, southerndrawl, myself). The more important part for me is whether or not all the dunny parts are still included, which it looks like they are, so i'm going to go based on which is the better custom.

Yeah, I think some clearer pics of Archangel would help. Oh well live and learn.

There will be plenty of more contests. Seems like this one has been a hit :D

I agree, i think there is so much going on that the pics don't do it justice...

it's really sick, awesome sculpting, awesome paint job, don't get me wrong. i have like 100 mcfarlane toys so i like that kind of stuff. i just feel like most artists who use a lot of sculpey for the most part leave the form of the dunny in tact (or at least more than 50% of the form intact) and make it obvious at first glance that it's a dunny, and that doesn't resemble a dunny at all... i can't find a single curve or line from a dunny on that custom! when the sculpting overpowers the dunny, it isn't a custom dunny anymore... it's a sculpture...

personally, when i see a custom dunny, i want to be able to tell that it's a custom dunny from first glance. kgoss, nervis, southerndrawl and you have all made dunnys with lots of sculpey that are obviously a dunny... not so much with this one. when i see a custom dunny that doesn't look anything like a dunny, i scratch my head a little...

that being said, i voted for archangel because it's a great custom... not trying to make it seem like i think it sucks, because it's top notch.

so nobody better get mad! this is a battle after all....

Archangel kind of looks like a Games Workshop Warhammer miniature! Quite an interesting clash of two completely different kinds of toy... although if you weren't told it was a Dunny I doubt you'd notice.

This has certainly been a thought-provoking battle! My vote went to Archangel in the end, but I think the concept of Swiss is great.

I love the archangel! I think it's an amazing sculpt and awesome design. Not a fan of the swiss looks like a travis cain dunny to me.

i really like the angel. looks like he could actually be real. with all the details and beautiful paint job. i have never minded when artist don't keep to the dunny form. that is how you know they have real talent. that they can use thier minds and see something amazing from the most basic of things. the swiss cheese one doesnt impress me at all. i have seen one similar to this in previous dunny series and the sculpt looks rough and the print is a bit sloppy.. looks like something a 5 yr old could do with play dough...
