The whole team is really excited about the upcoming release date and the fact that the news about us is just getting out. It’s very exciting time for us, well one of us decided to show our excitement through a little dance number.

Ladies and gentlemen…I give you Paddy Leung =)

After doing video and photo shoots some toys needed some touch ups. We bought a sealer that will protect the paint from scratching off. Teddy and I work on it together for 5 hours.. finally the toys are officially done!

The night before I started to print the boxes, Teddy and I finalize the design together. Here is a quick line drawing i did for the packaging design, referenced by Jefford’s x ray image of his teeth.

I was not prepared to print all 40 boxes would be so much work. On the other hand the packaging looks stunningly beautiful. Thanks to Leah’s printing expertise I was able to finish them all in one day. It took use about 7 hours to finish them, without her help there was no way I could get them done on time.

Here are some more pictures of the box:

+ I’ve document most of the progress of making this toy on my blog but here are some sneak peaks of unrevealed pictures!

SEPTEMBER 14

+ The first demo toy took about 4 hours to experiment with colours to mimic the teeth surface. I did some preliminarily researching of different kinds of teeth. This give me time to study what teeth really look like using pictures and even looking at Teddy’s wisdom teeth as my references. I observed where the dirt naturally collects on top of the molar and how the colour is “off white” with a stain of yellow. Every part of the teeth was analyzed to create this little master piece.

SEPTEMBER 18

+ I tried different transition between the molar and fingers but I chose to focus on the teeth more than the fingers. The colour is very subtle but the amount of detail of the fingers really makes you look twice.

+ I started painting with model paints last week but it turned awful. I emailed Chris Ryniak for some advice and surprisingly, he replied back sooner than I expected. He suggested using just basic acrylic paint and spray a sealer for the finish. Here is an example of what I’ve done so far. The gums are not finished, but once it is done, I will post more updated pictures.
