    We’ve been trying for a while to be able to get a good injection molded AGUA and are happy to announce publicly (our Patrons had the pleasure of getting their hands on the first run of these) that we will periodically be releasing these tie-dye AGUAs in small runs – starting TOMORROW (10/21)! We had fun mixing colors and are really happy with the orange yellow swirls we’re getting. No two are alike! Each AGUA comes with a Crafsman sticker and packaged in a header carded bag. If you would like to get a heads up on things like this early, please consider joining our Patreon family. There are lots…

    New Pocketnaut combination!

    May 14, 2024 /

    This week’s release of Pocketnauts is featuring a new color combination! Due to the diligent efforts of Crafsson and Crafsdaughter, we had a bit of leftover grey faces from the Orange and Grey production run and we really wanted to see how the extra grey faces would look with the black suits. When pairing these two colors, we couldn’t help but think of some of the great black and white films from the past. This little guy will be a nod to the pre-1966 end of that era. Go on over to shop.crafnation.com and check them out! If you guys like them, we’ll be sure to make more!

    Pocketnaut Production Update!

    April 25, 2024 /

    A new batch of the Black and Orange Pocketnauts have been listed in the shop, as well as a couple of different experimental colors of some waaay too floppy Pocketnauts! The past couple of times that we’ve listed the Orange and Grey Pocketnauts, they took a little longer to sell out, so we figured that everyone who wanted one of these color combinations likely got one. It comes at a good time too, as we’ve had a little trouble lately with the circle on the front of the PN having a bubble on it – which, when popped, leaves behind a not so clean looking circle. We don’t know why…

    Failed Experiments = Rare Pocketnauts (and friends…)

    February 22, 2024 /

    We’ve been experimenting with different colors and types of plastics with the Pocketnaut mold. The most recent facepalm moment came when we didn’t think to purge the barrel of the injection machine before switching colors. However, these super bendy (a little too bendy) yellow and black Pocketnaut bodies turned out pretty neat looking. We only had a small amount of plastic to experiment with, so what we’ve made will be it. We’ll be listing them shortly in the shop for a discounted price. We’ll continue to list the experiments that didn’t pass the quality check as we make them (which *might* include some past figures like AGUA…), so keep your…

    B GRADE Pocketnaut

    October 10, 2023 /

    The process of injection molding will always leave you with some items that just aren’t up to par. These Pocketnauts are the ones that didn’t pass Crafsmama’s quality control standards. They might have discoloration, or what look to be cracks where the plastic just didn’t melt together well. While Crafsman is out filming in the shop (which is almost every day), we’ll be working through the B Grade Pocketnauts and listing them in our shop at a discount. These will not be sent with the backer or header cards, so that we can keep those designated for the A Grade figures. https://shop.crafnation.com/product/bgradepocketnaut

    I made a complicated SIMPLE TOY with DIY injection molding

    January 24, 2021 /

    It is possible to make injection molds using a resin mix. I don’t like using 3D printed molds directly, for reasons of weaknicity and brittleness. (This may change when that Siraya Sculpt resin comes in.) ***** BLACK FRAME glitch at around 16:19 due to render error. Was not able to re-render and re-upload in time for a Sunday release. ***** METAL MOLD BLANKS: https://www.techkits.com/collections/… INJECTION MOLDER USED IN THIS VIDEO: https://www.techkits.com/products/mod… (Injects up to 1 cubic inch shot size, or close to 18 grams.
