Fully Articulated

Our creations are made to for fidgeting sensory play. You can move them in your hands, wrap them around your fingers or position them to sit on your shoulder.

Each link is connected independently into a chain that makes the whole creation. Even the wings, if they are present, can move freely.

3D Printing Miracle

Each model is crafted using special plastic called Polylactic AcidPLA.

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.

My order has still not been received, I cannot make a review on something I do not have.
I don’t know if you are aware that there was a fatal semi trailer accident on the Nullarbor Highway 2 weeks ago where both semi’s and their loads were incinerated, I am hoping my parcel was not part of the cargo they were carrying.

Stunning egg

We are loving our fire egg that arrived today. The colours are so vibrant and beautiful. The lid fits well and there is ample room for its dragon baby to curl up and sleep inside... We will be collecting more, I am sure!

Paua Dragon Egg

I bought a matching Dragon egg for my baby dragon and just adore the Paua colours!
They really are colour shifting & even though I’m 61, I like fidgeting with my Dragon. I’ve got to name him yet, but I do talk out loud to myself 😂 (I live alone) and I chat with him so he deserves a name !

Do they need to be assembled?

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?
