Spent the past few evenings coming up with potential figure designs for the release. Trying to keep an element of humor in each design as it fits the character(s) so well.

A lot still has to be fleshed out, but I'm pretty much 100% set on how to tackle the toy packaging for general release and convention/show display. I'm probably going to be shooting for a "recently discovered on a beach" vibe. Worn out crates filled with small burlap baggies that will be stamped or stenciled with my logo. They will be filled with most likely 5 individual rubber figures and will be displayed "spilling out" of the crate onto the table.

I've also outsourced the sculpting of the toys to a friend of mine in Mexico. Very talented and I've worked with him before. This project is another way to tide me over while I await further news on my soft vinyl toys being produced over in Japan.

Happy thirsty Thursday all!
