Nothing at all artificial about this tree. Beautiful, tho. ‘Tis the season. #holidaycheer #xmasrobot #lightshow #jackpot https://www.instagram.com/p/CW9d32KP7A1/?utm_medium=tumblr

An oldie, but a goodie. This was a prelim sketch that we shared with Warner early in the toy previz process for Batman Forever. Since we didn’t have access to much actual reference material for the film, it became the basis for the Transforming Bruce Wayne figure in the first wave. Hard to believe how long ago that was. #toysdesign #kenner #batman #batmanforever #previz #conceptdesign #characterdesign #batmantoys #prelim #brucewayne #toymaker https://www.instagram.com/p/CVYWFmLPiMm/?utm_medium=tumblr

Just dropped in the ModiBot shop! 3 Pharoah’s Curse figures, one of each in 3 different colorways. This is a test to gauge interest in this item, so if you miss them and are interested, DM me (contact me via the store) and I’ll custom order more. Hopefully in time for Halloween. #creativegifts #halloween #mummy #curse #spooky #creepy #creature #stopmotion #storytelling #actionfigures #toystagram #toysofinstagram #creativeplay #toymaker #playthings #indietoys #3dprinting #3dprinted (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUa-ay6vXMl/?utm_medium=tumblr

Got the prototype parts from @htbtoys today and hastily assembled it. The fit and finish are really sweet. Hoping to pull some custom resin items together for @designercon and holiday sales. It’s nice to see some of my designs in a different surface finish. More to come! #prototyping #resinprinting #3dprinting #3dprinted #modibotsystem #creativeplay #toymaker #characterdesign #stopmotion #stem #storytelling #3ddesign #indietoys #designertoys (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUEduM6r-tU/?utm_medium=tumblr

Posted @withregram • @madpropps Working with @kidmechan0 on a new project for #modibot #baf all the flesh pieces were printed with my special blend for extreme strength and flexibility. I think this will be a great replacement for the Shapeways SLS printers he is using now.

I might be going a little crazy with the gold, but seeing some sheen on the matte-printed parts is a pretty cool effect. Diggin it⚡️ #handsondesign #diy #handicraft #humantouch #wabisabi #golden #halloween #creativeplay #actionfigures #indiedesign #toystagram #toysofinstagram #3dprinted #3dprinting #stopmotion #characterdesign (at Cole Valley) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTQlmAEJhDn/?utm_medium=tumblr

One of the nice things about designing your own products, slowing down and appreciating the hands-on parts of the process. Hand painting some new colors to test in the shop. I’m really digging the gold variations of the parts. I think I will also need to try some bronze and graphite colors to round things out a bit. #handsondesign #indietoys #creativeplay #painttherapy #coolstuff #actionfigures #diy #3dprinted #3dprintinglife #manmade #craft (at Cole Valley) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTQXFagPz89/?utm_medium=tumblr

Updated colorways for the new Striped arm/leg frames for ModiBot Mo figure kit. One last looksey for color and fit and then a final order for the shop. #modibotsystem #modibot #stopmotion #stopmotionanimation #puppet #armature #characterdesign #actionfigures #creativeplay #creativegifts #play #storytelling #3ddesign #3dprinting #3dprinted #3dcolor #tinkercad #prototyping #stem #steam #edtech (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTLQlIlJY0y/?utm_medium=tumblr

ModiBot Builder Tip #3,572 - “What are those extra bits for?” Those extra joints that you get in every Mo figure pack are for extending the build system. They are designed to plug into the hex holes so you attach extra arms or leg (or heads) to different parts of the body. I also have a variety of adapter parts available in the shop to allow for more extreme customization. #balljoints #actionfigures #customactionfigures #creativeplay #armature #stopmotion #characterdesign #toystagram #toysofinstagram #modibotsystem (at Cole Valley/Ashbury Heights - SF, CA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSuvwJwB5_8/?utm_medium=tumblr

Assembled figures- some adjustments needed to prevent the white marks around the wrists and interior of thighs, and a color change to get closer to a true black, but really good overall. Hoping to have them available for pre-Halloween sales. #3dcolor #3dcolorprinting #3dprinting #3dprinted #indie #stopmotion #characterdesign #creativeplay #actionfigures #toysofinstagram #toystagram #modibotsystem (at Tank Hill) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSsKnXOpshv/?utm_medium=tumblr

Two bricks of 3D color printed prototypes. This is a game changer for me. But the prints from @customcolor3d turned out great and the material works great with the sockets. The new multi jet fusion color print process from @hp is truly amazing. I forgot to take pics of the assembled figs, but will post them later today. #3dprinting #3dprinted #3dcolor #hp3dprinting #actionfigures #indieproduction #characterdesign #creativeplay #stopmotion #stopmotionanimation #fun #diy (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSr2-oLJL_u/?utm_medium=tumblr
