Manufacturing reference
What this reference shows, and what you would decide.
A beaked dinosaur, which puts the difficult detail on the face rather than the back.
A beak is a hard edge in the middle of a soft face. It is either a moulded part with its own attachment test, or an appliquéd shape that has to hold its line against pile. A row of small dorsal spikes and a bristle tuft at the tail tip are two more applied parts in two more materials. The tuft is exactly the sort of trim a pull test is written for.
Choose this reference when the range needs a species that is not a triceratops but reads from the same family. Decide the beak method and the spike count, then agree how the face parts are jigged so unit one and unit ten thousand have the same expression.
Decisions this product type puts in front of you
- Sculpt and proportion Dinosaur characters sell on head to body ratio and expression. Agree the proportion at a sculpt review, because a few millimetres on the muzzle changes how friendly the whole animal reads, and it is cheap to fix there.
- Contrast materials Spines, plates, claws, horns and belly panels are usually a second and third fabric. Confirm every contrast material at the same time as the body fabric so one mill can hold all of the shades across the run.
- Applied parts and pull tests Every plate, spike and claw is an attachment point a pull test will find. Choose sewn in against glued or moulded before sampling, and set the age grade first, since that is what decides the force the joint has to survive.
- Tooling and quantity Setup here is pattern making and the sculpt review rather than steel. A family of dinosaurs sharing one body block is far cheaper than a family of unrelated sculpts, which is worth knowing before you pick the range.
- Packaging Long necks, tails and dorsal plates do not fold the way a bear does. Plan the carton around the real silhouette and decide how long the toy has to recover its shape after compression.
