Disney fan recreates miniature versions of Andy and Sid’s rooms from Toy Story
Popular items from the rooms including Sid’s Mutant Toys are present in the miniature models.
A Disney fan has recreated miniature versions of Andy and Sid’s rooms from Toy Story using a variety of household items from pen springs to coasters.
Emily Walker said she came up with the idea to recreate Andy’s room as her daughters (Amelia, 12, and Lilly, nine) collect Mini Brands figures, which included popular Toy Story characters including Buzz Lightyear and Woody.
She made the wallpaper synonymous with Andy’s room by painting white clouds on blue wallpaper, blinds out of a piece of card, a notice board which contains the posters present in Woody’s owner’s room using an old drinks coaster and Jessie’s signature cowboy hat using foam.
“To make the hand in the box toy, I used a Mini Brands hand, and then I used the spring from a pen and made the box out of card and painted it,” the 34-year-old who lives in Widnes, Cheshire, told the PA news agency.
“To make the duck toy, I used a Mini Brands duck head and a Mini Brands Hulk’s body and attached them using a spring from a pen.
She also made use of an old dummy teat, some wire and a hair bobble to create a light in the room.
Ms Walker added: “I like the fact that Sid’s room is quite dark and Andy’s room is really bright.”
Ms Walker said the trickiest aspect was trying to accurately replicate the rooms, of which she used pictures online as a guide to ensure “everything matched”.
She said her daughters were “very excited” and “eager” for their mother to finish the creations.
Ms Walker’s work has received hundreds of likes from people on Facebook, which she said has been “nice”.
“I was shocked to be honest because this was my first miniatures project,” she added.
Next in the pipeline for Ms Walker is a replica of Sunnyside Daycare from Toy Story 3.
