We Are Indie Toys: Make Your Own Resin Characters

It's one of the better books that I own on the subject of plastic toys. A must have in one's collection.

Given as a gift recipient was pleased

Absolutely fantastic book for anyone starting out in the resin casting game, or for anyone familiar with the alt toy / resin toy movement. Full of useful hints & tips, full-page photography, as well as TONS of text collected from the forerunner artists in the resin toy hustle.Absolute Must-Buy!

This book is one of my favorites!It's full of amazing toy artists who share their experience in making their own toys with some helpful hints and photographs of how they do it.Though its not a step-by-step guide of how to make your own toys, its not something you should turn your nose up at if you're looking for inspiration or advice from other artists

I have to honestly say that I feel a little ripped off purchasing this book. The sample of the book here on Amazon looked great but unfortunately this is the very best part of the book. This book mainly consists of well photographed images but is totally lacking in the "making" department. Most designers give the same advice over and over again. Trivial little things like "watch out for air bubbles". Really? You can't get more basic than that. Any ideas of casting painting and design are gleamed from the few photos that show but do not explain the process or examine the details. So it's really a product picture book. I read it from cover to cover in under 10 minutes. If I had seen the book on a bookstore shelf I definitely would not have purchased it when there are so many other good books out there on most of the things a book like this hints at covering but totally fails. Resin can be a little tricky but do not rely on this for any hints, tips, and secret little tricks. Very, very disappointed seasoned professional. But the photography is well executed as a product picture book with little variety of styles. You will definitely find more information spending 5 minutes on the net then it takes the time to order this book.
