Those are beautiful, Dustin!
You should be damn proud... those are wonderfully clean castings for a first-timer!

Thanks a lot, guys.

I'm definitely learning a lot making these and it's nice to hear that you guys are liking this one.



I should be able to pull a bunch of these next week. Need to come up with some paint apps...

I'm really liking the unpainted - you should to a release of painted and unpainted versions

awesome that Uberboy schooled you in resin. Glad you decided to then make them yourself.

they look great. and I don't like dinos.

Great job Dustin!! The unpainted Dino's look sweet! Can't wait to see 'em painted

They look so perfect....

Wow! Great work, Dustin. I want one.

Thanks for all the kind words, everybody.

Gotta run to the shop this morning and get some materials. I plan on casting all afternoon. Hopefully, everything goes well and I'll have some dinos for you folks real soon. Eventually, I'd love to release painted and unpainted versions out into the wild.

Pulled some blues today:

you are a machine dude.
i'm still amazed this was your first sculpt and your first time casting.

I got to see these guys over the weekend. They're really clean. The parting line is in a good place and bubbles are also well placed so they're not really seen. Love the blue one. Now if only Dustin had the money to make these into vinyl...

I want an unpainted one, and probably a painted one. Great work. How are you going to sell these?

By the way, how big are these again? Can you put one with a known vinyl to compare size?

Same size as a Real x Head toy.

you can put me down for one dustin, these are really great.

^Me too

Alright. First run of 5 is read to rock. Keeping things simple with the unpainted blue.



I just put these up on my bigcartel shop but the folks here that are interested should feel free to PM me.



Crappy pic for size comparison:

^ Those are incredible! And look very clean!
Congrats Dustin on your beautiful first sculpt and awesome firts resin pulls!
I am definitely in for an unpainted blue! And can't wait to see what the painted versions will look like!

Moving fast....!!!

better hit up Dustin's webstore...

Jeremy was nice enough (bored enough) to come over yesterday morning to talk toys and snap some photos while I made some of these little dudes.

Anybody interested in pics of the process might want to check this out: http://www.jeremyriad.com/blog/features/making-dinosaurs-with-dustin-cantrell/

the dinos are nice! man those bring back memories, reminds me of the dino toys i had when i was a kid =]

^Thanks, man.

The five unpainted blues are sold out. Thank you so much to the awesome people that bought them. I'll be shipping them out on Monday.

I'm really happy to see that there is room in this hobby for a guy like me to put out a straightforward, no-bullshit, handmade dinosaur.

Gotta get cracking on some more colors and some painted versions.

Thanks again, everybody.

WOW those are F'in awesome! Great Job!

These came out so well Dustin! Awesome work as always, and now in a new medium! Can't wait to see what comes next.

Back to the airbrush.

Really loving your dinosaurs so far! Very impressive!

Hope to get one some day
