How Beanie Kids Figurines Are Made

Beanie Kids Make FigurinesSTEP 1
First thing is to decide which Beanie Kid will get the honour of becoming a Figurine. Several hand drawn sketches are made before deciding on the final design.

That initial sketch is then re-created on computer so we can get a better idea on what the final product will look like with correct colours etc.

The figurine is then roughly carved out of compound that is similar to play-dough only a lot firmer. The trick is to remove all the bits that DON'T look like Ouch!

Then all the fine detail is created Each part of the fur is individualy marked and takes quite a considerable amount of time to create, until we finally get the finished Master Figurine.

A Cast is then made from the Master Figurine. It is checked to make sure that every bit of detail has been transferred from the Master Figurine.

Figurines are then cast. The poly resin that is used for the figurines is plain white, which makes it easier for painting.

The figurine is then carefully painted by hand. Every detail is highlighted during the painting process, from the eyes to the dot's on the band-aid in the middle of his chest.
