Hello again, /toy/. I want to start making toys at some point.

Build gunpla. Depending on the grade it ranges from typical articulation to some batshit insane engineering that plays chicken with plastic's stress limits.

The most difficult part is to have the proper material since ABS or PVC need heat and pressure. For diy project you better use urethan resin but it's not as solid as other plastics.

Just collect at least one example from as many lines as possible is the best way to research different articulation methods. Right now, I'd say that the easiest joints to implement would be Revoltech and Figma, and the best for range of motion would be Bandai's SHF, while their model kits have been relatively well-hidden. Every case has different materials, though, so take >>6023223 advice.

I always wanted to make sofubis based on my drawing but it is expensive to pay a factory to produce them. It is a investment that i can't afford.
With the magic of internet you can make a proof of concept and make people pay before the figs are produced. But if it is just a hobby it's not worth it.
You can check different hardness of urethan resin. Check for the "shore scale", there are the D scale (hard) and the A scale (soft/rubber). Make a fig with a resin that is more A than D can make something more durable. Take a look at Smooth On products.

I have no problem with the concept of learning by myself from observation, but that would cost me a lot due to importing.

Hello friend.

I do have a little experience with urethane, as I intend to make a few keshi toys, but only the rubber form.

Can you show your stuff? I'm the op of the keshi/sofubi thread, I love that kind of shit.
Don't think there's anyone in /toy/ dedicated enough to steal concepts.
