Right, so the good folk over at House4Hack jumped in to save the day. I don't really have photos of all of this.. but I'll give a quick rundown of events.

After A LOT of manual labour the new master copies got sanded and prepped for molding. The new silicone mold is for rotomolding, and the Dinos come out pretty great.

Only issue remaining is that I need a RotoMold.. the new material is too sticky to be rotocasted by hand.

Along with that, courier service is secured, website up, pre-orders sold out, every detail ready to rock and roll.. except of course the rotomold and packaging.
(Why is something as simple as packaging always the hardest part? I swear if someone can just start a competent packaging company, they'd make a killing. Even if it's a little more expensive. #feelingTheFustration)
