Pickle Rick Rat Suit Custom Build
Like many of my projects, this one started with a find at Goodwill. I don’t know why the Electronic Yodeling Pickle was made, but I do know my first thought upon finding it was, “I wonder if I can turn this into a talking Pickle Rick?”
After swapping out the guts of a recordable greeting card with the yodeling circuit, and pasting on a face, I found out I could! Was going to post it to YouTube, but I found that someone had already done basically the same thing as I had…but what he hadn’t done was make a rat suit for the talking Pickle Rick…enter Mega Bloks.
Was able to put together a build that firmly held the pickle in place, but still allowed it to be easily be removed. It was fun finding ways to make the suit fully articulated while maintaining the “scrawny rat” look. It stands on it’s own, but is a rather fragile build.
Pieces came from a wide variety of sets including the ribs and claws from the WoW Sha of Anger set, arm and leg parts from the Halo Infinity Armory Bay set, hand pieces from the Destiny Sparrow sets, and spine and pelvis elements from the original CoD Nuketown set.
Still makes me laugh when I play the audio from the “Pickle Rick” episode, here’s a link to a video of it in action…
