Even though this is Annemarie’s column we decided to interview her about her latest creation, Wuzzles custom vinylmation.
| DV: The Wuzzles only had a 13 episode run, but apparently had a big impact on you. Tell us why you choose these characters as the subject of your latest customs.
Annemarie: I barely remember the actual show, but I do remember the characters. I always thought they were so colorful and fun and the idea was so creative. I basically decided to do Vinylmation of them because I thought they’d be fun to do. |

DV: I had a Bumblelion when I was a kid. Out of your 6 Wuzzles customs, which one is your favorite?
AM: I think Hoppopotamus came out the best. I tried to capture her expression as best I could, and I think it worked. Moosel is probably my second favorite, just because I love his colors. I tried to get them to all to work well together as a set by giving them all the rainbow image in the ears, which is my favorite aspect of the set. |

| DV: Which figure and what features on that figure proved to be the most difficult?
AM: Rhinokey was probably the most difficult to do, he has a smaller head and I tried to indicate that on his figure. He also has the rhino horn, which I painted on sort of like Eleroo’s trunk. I tried to draw from examples like the Pink Elephant from Animation 2 to get that three-dimensional look as best I could.

| DV: Are you working on any other obscure Disney cartoon based customs?
AM: Not at the moment, but maybe sometime in the future I will! |

These made my day, how adorable! Great job, Annemarie!
This is fantastic! Cool idea.
Lovely. Just lovely.
What great designs. Fantastic job!!!!
Thanks everyone!
When do the wuzzles come available to purchase
Right now, they are only a custom Vinylmation design made by Annemarie for her personal collection.
Are the new furry friends 2 for her personal collection?
These are so cute! I loved Wuzzles as a kid. Looking back, what an absurd show – haha – but you really capture the fun of the characters.
