How durable are these articulated creations?

We put love and care into each of our creations. They are made to be durable for fidgeting.

Keep in mind that general rule applies that smaller creatures (like small baby dragons) are more delicate because of the size of the pieces and require more care during play. Regular and larger sizes are recommended for more damage resistance.

PLA is a very stable material, and so it is quite resistant to chemicals such as acetones or alcohols. Very powerful solvents such as dichloromethane are required to dissolve PLA, so everyday chemicals will not make a dent.

How can I repair my hurt plastic mate?

In case that your plastic friend gets hurt, you can use regular super glue which works quite well with the material.

If needed, feel free to contact us for any help or advice.

Do I have to pay any import fees?
