Design & Prototype
Probably the longest part of the process but one of the most fun, with design revisons and discussing the finer details, we are still refining and testing the designs.
Design
With an approved concept we complete the toy design from top to bottom. Then we start prototyping, using a mix of 3D modeling, rapid prototyping, hand sculpting, molding and casting. Once the model, sculpture or pattern is approved we create painted prototypes and begin designing packaging.
Prototyping
Prototyping is fun! Each review stage is exciting to see it finaly come together. We don’t stop until everyone is happy with it and the final prototype is approved.

Clay
Our artisits can sculpt from initial sketches and ideas and create something amazing in 3D. These are made by hand.
3 Dimensional
3D prototypes are great as they instant graphics that can be scaled in size without having to make new clay prototypes.
Production
With the Final prototype approved moving to the full production we have to make the moulds and other painting or printing templates. We make the toys & collectibles from a variety of materials. First we make all individual parts, then finish, assemble and package.

Quality Control
During production and assembly we perform multiple QC tests & reviews. We also complete all required safety testing, should you require extra safety checks we can help with this.
Delivery
After the toys have been inspected for quality and packed, they're loaded onto a boat or plane on their journey to you.
