I want to make vinyl toys dammit...

I have a really neat idea for a custom line of toys, and nowhere to take it... The information out there on this subject is severely limited. DAMN YOU GOOGLE!

Now, for some random vinyl toy images to hold your attention.

oh man making vinyl toys would be amazing. I'd make my newfound character BRENDOG.

There's a tutorial on Computer Arts Projects some time ago on making vinyl toys.

psssh vinyl toys. they don't even have karate chop action.

Ste7en on Nov 03 '09 at 11:55pm

I actually despise toys with karate chop action because it only works properly the first time, and every time after the chop gets worse and worse until the arm barely moves.

i'm not sure how you get into this unless you're a really famous street artist. this guy might be able to point you in a direction:

Yeah, the toy industry is actually one of the hardest to get into, next to children's books. Costs for production have traditionally been kept extremely high to muscle out upstart competition. I am going to start out just working with some DIY munny's and dunny's and see what I can put together and if I have a real lasting interest in it before I do much more, but I have always wanted to make little collectibles.

been thinking of doing a blank for DIY's myself but haven't moved on it.
