So how many total were painted for this grab bag and did all the spots sell?
Yes, all spots sold quickly. There were 250 of them until one got dropped, so 249.
Oh that is SO sad. 🙁 RIP little one
Oh, he is fine. I glued him back together, now he’s in my glass cabinet. This is my collection of casualties.

I wandered through the storage building yesterday and took a quick look around. Some of the discontinued molds are stored there but I didn’t see any of the old animal molds.
a video would be interesting! and I think a day in the storage unit would be worth it if not several if that’s what it takes to go through things!
a quick look? well if it’s a big space, I’m sure there’s lots of places they could be hiding in there! it would be worth it at the very least just to get things organized and of course getting them all out to make again! squeak squeak squeak!
Oh, it is a VERY organized storage building.

can’t there be a day to go into the storage unit? they are just sitting there half ready to go, you just need the master casting then make a mold off that, the rubber molds shouldn’t matter in the equation since they can be remade….I know we don’t know exactly how it works but you explained kinda how it works years ago, you just need the gypsum master and molds can be made from that so I don’t understand why it’s never turned into a “let’s go look in the storage unit for them” day….
I should do a video of our storage unit. You have no idea the magnitude of the issue.

It might happen someday… who knows?
Yes, new molds can be made from the master, but unless we still have the “tooling” ( that is what we call the molds for the molds) it would be a big job to re-make all the plaster parts that are needed to cast them. We always have so much other stuff we are trying to produce!Awww that would be a shame if it’s lost.Would make a good grab bag batch.
These wolves were fairly big! About as tall as a male dragon, as I remember.
Most of the “old line” animals that surfaced after we moved to Oregon were original castings. They had been boxed up and forgotten about when they were discontinued. There weren’t any leftover unpainted wolves.
I don’t know if we still have any mold tooling for those old wolves, but we probably do still have the “master” casting somewhere in the storage unit. The rubber molds are long gone! They don’t last forever.Using watercolor on these is tricky because the gypsum may not absorb the paint evenly, leaving white patches.
Wouldn’t hurt to try watercolor! If it turns out blotchy, repaint the spots with acrylic paint.
Acrylic paint works best.
I don’t think putting a layer of paper on it first would work very well, but I don’t think anyone has ever tried it!The text in the middle panel and water in the bottom panel have some wonkiness to them. And smudging of the wings in the first panel.
Thank you!
Yeah, I’ll need to clean up every page of this comic before it gets printed. Just about every single one has something that needs fixing!
