These shark dino's would make adorable desktop vinyl toys, like a Dunny etc. Love em!

Anyone know where I could go to get these made? I do sculptures at home so it would be pretty easy for me to do. Not a clue on materials though.

You're really onto something here. I'd say keep going if it's not too much trouble, get a whole set. Try some sharks disguised as dinosaurs, too.

Sure I'll do some more, I'll try a quick one now.


Scut posted:

They're usually made from vinyl, and spin cast to form them. Spin casting is apparently a cheap way of doing quality moulding in less-than-massive quantities. For the master sculpt it's probably best to check some of the forums dedicated to vinyl toys, a lot of people post their works in progress and talk about techniques. I reckon you could use Sculpey for making the master.

I recall this site having pretty good forums.

Awesome thanks, I booked marked it and I'll check it out in a bit.

I just want to know: will you be sculpting the explosions as well?

Your cartoon dress-up dinos are Awesome in it's purest form, wrapped up in a package of cute... My favourite is still the first one.

Edit: spelling :(

Thanks. :) Yeah, I'll make the explosions but they can just be a cardboard cut out for the dino's to sit/stand in.

What about an exploding squid disguised as a dinosaur? :D


Seriously, though, if you figure out a way to make a plushy or something out of your very first design, I would probably buy one

I'll draw up one with a squid now.

I was talking to Mum about making a few for me to sell and also looking into making vinyl toys as well.

Oh, P.s. Talking over details with Mum about the dinoshark toys and she will make up some plushie style ones in the new year. I've looked into vinyl with making them and moulds and came up with some awesome ideas for packaging. Going to make plaster eggs and have the toy inside so you gotta smash the egg open to get the toy out. ( you won't know what one you will be getting so kinda like a kinder suprise. I'll keep you guys updated.

That would be nice. Each one ordered from you guys I'll try to put something extra or special in them so if they do end up being collectors like some vinyl toys do they will be worth more.
