We’re working with John “Spanky” Stokes to upgrade his hairy little mascot “Stroll”.
We’ve designed a cute little arcade machine. Perfect for hugging and customizing and reminding you of the good old days.
I love “Celebrity X”, is it okay to make a Celebrity X toy? It’s great to have heroes and we all love this actor or that sports star or that other famous person who does that thing that is just so damn cool. In fact…
This articulated vinyl figure of DJ Shadow’s mascot was sculpted using digital tools, mostly 3ds Max with a touch of ZBrush. The digital model was printed using rapid-protyping technology and reproduced as a collectible vinyl toy. Sculpts such as this one can be produced in…

We sculpted up a massive figure for Jeremy “Mad” Madl titled “Modern Hero”. One wonderful thing about digital sculpting is that the sculpts can be easily modified and turned into fresh ideas. Jeremy had us pop off Modern Hero’s head and shrink it down to…
