3D Printing Miracle
Each model is crafted using special plastic called Polylactic Acid, PLA.
PLA stands as a marvel in the world of bioplastics, uniquely boasting the dual benefits of being both biosourced and biodegradable.
PLA is made from renewable resources like corn and sugar cane. It's the magic of fermentation, transforming starch or sugar drawn from these earth-friendly sources, that gives birth to PLA.
Symphony Of Colors
With the exception of the expressive hand-painted eyes, all the colors come directly from the material. There is nothing to scrape off or fade on the sun. Your colorful friend will stay shiny and beautiful.
All our creations are made with love and care.

Do they need to be assembled?
Every creation comes ready right out of the box, there is no assembly required. Just pick your new friend up and fall in love :)
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.
