# DIY Terracotta Art Figures Kidrobot and Chia Pet Joined for the Release of the Sprout Munny By Riley von Niessen | Published 2021-02-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprout-munny References: [kidrobot](https://www.kidrobot.com/products/kidrobot-x-chia-pet-5-sprout-munny) [Kidrobot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kidrobot-2) and [Chia Pet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/billie-chia-pet) have collaborated on another art figure, this time bringing fans the [Sprout](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humanoid-robot-1) Munny. The terracotta figure allows users to customize their own with an included chia seed pack, which they can place over the porous material to get the look they want. When the seeds are placed all over the figure, Kidrobot's iconic Munny takes on the look of one of Edward Scissorhands's artful hedges. Alternatively, users can strategically place the seeds in different areas to make it look like it has green hair, and then paint the rest themselves. Kidrobot previously collaborated with Chia Pet on a limited edition Dunny figure, which was customized with a nature-inspired print by Cristina Ravenna.
