    FAILING at making a video about FAILING at making toys. (AKA “Let’s make a phone video.”)

    December 31, 2022 /

    I wanted to end the year by releasing a well-produced video in which I announce the release of the POCKETNAUT figure. This is a little homage to the cheaper plastic toys we would carry around as kids. But I wanted to put a spin on this one: The character can have 15 different facial expressions. (And for future releases, we wanted to do other character and creature heads/faces.)

    3D/CAD SCULPTING BY SEBASTIAN: https://www.fiverr.com/sebagaggino https://instagram.com/sebagaggino?igs… This is a little figure we’re tentatively calling the “POCKETNAUT”. The idea is it’s like a little astronaut style character that can go in your pocket. Maybe the little grooves, bumps, and nubbies are for tactile/feel, and the figure can be a type of worry stone.

    SCULPT, BAKE, and BEND! (CosClay, the “Fantastic Flexible Plastic”)

    BUY COSCLAY HERE: https://amzn.to/3PS7xOH CLAY EXTRUDERS: https://amzn.to/3veOd6w (Mine is the “Walnut Hollow” brand, but this link should bring up additional options.) I finally got some CosClay to try, and honestly I’m impressed with the results. Will this replace plastic/resin for me? Probably not, but it is EXCELLENT for sculptures that you want to be resilient and impact resistant. CHECK OUT MY BUDDY JOSH FOREMAN (Sculpting tutorials and more!): https://www.youtube.com/c/scrybe
