What's inside a shark's mouth?

Say "Aaaaaaah!" Sometimes the customers want to know things such as, "What's inside the shark's mouth? Can we drill it and pour in greadine? Is it hard plastic, or soft?"

A toy animal's portrait usually looks more like this. It lets you know what you're getting, but maybe it's a little boring. Hmm. I think I just got an idea :)

When does a moose need a makeover?

I don't know. That could be one of the great mysteries of life. But sometimes our animals are delivered to us looking different than the last time we saw them. This happened with our plastic moose. Usually, the trend is toward more realism, and that was true in the case of our moose replica today. He looks a bit different, has slightly different colors, and is even somewhat smaller. He also costs a little less than our former moose.

So, what's the first thing some moose do after a makeover? Of course. They get their pictures taken. That's exactly what our made-over moose replica did.

Did you know that moose are one of the hardest plastic animals to photograph? Do you know why? Their antlers cast big shadows over their eyes! How did we get our moose to pose in the light for us? It's simple! Leave a comment and I'll tell you!

Mellow Yellow Monday: No jellyfish loitering, please!

It's an unusual sight, but this plastic jellyfish seemed to like our deck and just wanted to hang out for awhile. It seemed friendly enough, although it didn't have much to say. "Stay for awhile," we suggested. "Would you like a drink?" we asked. "With salt please," it said, and after a rest and a bit of refreshment, it slipped back into its element and floated away.

You can visit this plastic jellyfish and its jellyfish friends here if you'd like :)
