Hey all!
I havent posted for along time but would like to get back in the habit of sharing myself and my partners work here with you all in this thread!
About 12 months ago I wanted to sculpt and print a collectible toy of my own, a friend of mine Paul Kwon and myself collaborated and produced Remi-7, the first of what would hopefully be many toys! Ownage also manufactures all of our toys!
Our first toy sold out in a few weeks, so upon her 1 year anniversary we have just ordered another encore run of kits!
Finished 9 Inch Collectible Toy:
Sculpt:
Since that time, I’ve relocated around the world back to my homeland of New Zealand where I work @ Weta Workshop as a digital sculptor and had to put my toy store dreams on hold a bit! Up until about a month ago when I decided it was high time to start sculpting more toys!!!
The next toy in production, another collaboration with another friend of mine Deadman is Yellow Star who also stands at 9 inches tall. She is being printed at the moment, and once thats complete, moulds and resin casts will be made, packaged and she is expected to ship out in the early part of the 3rd quarter of 2016!
Sculpt:
Since sculpting Yellow Star, my partner Layna has also joined in the fray and is now sculpting toys for our toy store! It has officially become a ‘family’ hobby!
We only use zbrush + zbrush bridge + keyshot for the production of all of our toys.
We also live stream the creation of each and every toy sculpture on our twitch channels. So if you are looking to hang out with us on our stream or pick up some of our techniques etc, feel free to stop into our streams below:

We will endeavour to update this thread as we go along creating our toys
Next up, some shots of Layna’s 2 toys!
