So, I've been trying to break into the toy industry for a while and we're finally established enough to start producing them. I just got the first images from the factory on the toy sample, and we're tweaking a couple of things, but here's a sneak peek at the first ever FYSH toy.

Post up your thoughts/critique/opinions on them. We really want to retail them in the $5 range, but labeling and packaging can increase cost on them a little bit. Anyways, lemme know what ya'll think. I'll post up more pictures later as we tweak it to perfection.

They'll be 4cm in height and 3.3cm in width. They're pretty small, but it's not too small to customize with. We won't have any completely blank ones, but it's just the plain whale, so it won't be hard to customize it at all.

Alright, I've been getting a lot of good feedback and we started tweaking things.

*The rectangular mouth looked weird, so we carved that part out

*We added the blowhole to the figure

*For the first time ever, people will see Fysh's back side.

*Keep in mind this is still in the prototype state, so we still need to color it and smooth everything out.

Anyways, check it out:

front view, it kinda looks like he's smiling now:

first ever view of Fysh's back side, haha, he has a little fin:

Right side:

Left side:

Top view, the blowhole:

Pix of it colored up coming soon.

oh, haha, I didn't know we abbreviate that now. Makes perfect sense though. Right now, we're going to just release some of the whale in its original colors. Hopefully making it iconic enough. Depending on how successful they are, we can do special editions like GID or clear in the future. I can tell you it won't be anytime soon though

. This is our first toy production, so you know, it'll only get better through time.

I remember a few years back, maybe 3, you started your clothing line and posted it on HB. It stood for something. I would just lurk every once in a while so I'm surprised i remember that shit.

Some new pictures of the samples that came in. Still some tweaking to do to get it perfect, it's really rough around the edges right now but here are some recent pix:
