We’ve been working on a new prop-splitting system! 🤩 if you’ve been following us for a while you may remember last year we were experimenting with 3D printed screw threads to split apart props for storage and travel, but we ran into breakage issues.

Twist locks are something we’ve used frequently in the past on smaller props/accessories including Xiao’s pot (Genshin Impact), and we’d been trialing them for a commission that needed to come apart to allow for electronics.

NEED SOME HELP FINISHING YOUR PRINTS? 👀 We’ve spent the last week or so tackling some big website updates, the first of which was updating our Recommended Supplies List and finally uploading our in-depth finishing guides for both FDM and resin prints!

At conventions we’ve had a large influx of attendees asking us not only how we finish our prints, but also for specific supplies we keep on hand. The latter also tends to be followed by the fact that a lot of current guides online recommend supplies we can’t get here in Australia

Naturally, we couldn’t resist their pocket watch motifs in their graphics for the medals, which led us to our Grandfather Clock design for the Best in Show trophy. And, yes, it’s actually a functioning clock! 🤩

Have you ever looked at a character design and wondered how you're ever going to achieve that not on a piece of paper? This is the eternal cosplay dilemma we're here to help cosplayers tackle in our From Fiction to Fashion panel!

At AVCon 2024, we’ll give insight into the things we create along with the shortcuts we take along the way to make crazy character/prop designs work in real life on real humans. How many clothing layers is too many layers? How long/heavy would that Dragonslayer from Berserk be

✨COME FIND US AT SYDNOVA✨ . We’re back for Sydnova 2024 and couldn’t be more excited since they’re back to having two HUGE halls! That means we (and the rest of Artist’s Alley) won’t be in The Dome, but the building opposite! 🤩 find us at table 319!

Also have a cheeky sneak peek at some of the prop kits we’re bringing (if the printers behave now it’s getting cold 😅) - and don’t forget our exciting new Cosplay Companions up for grabs too! We can’t wait to see you all there 🤩💪

Good news for our Notebook Fiends!! 👀📚 For the first time ever we’ll have stock of our spiralbound Cosplay Companions at our upcoming Artist Alley tables! These beauties have 420gsm velvet coated covers and 100gsm internal pages, enough to plan out 10 whole cosplays! 🤩

These companions aren’t our print-on-demand ones we run on the website, but a small print run from a local business and we’re blown away with the quality!

Commission forms are now live and functioning through a shiny new plugin! Thank you all for your patience 🙏🙏
Hi everyone!! Just a little PSA that the plugin we use to run our commissions forms on our website has been decommissioned. We’re currently looking for an alternative, but in the meantime if you have any commission requests please email us directly at [email protected]

WE’RE GOING TO ADELAIDE! 🤩🤩🤩 We’re so excited to announce we’ll be at @TeamAVCon_ this year in Cosplay Central! We’ve never been to an Adelaide con before (and Shin has simply never been to Adelaide 🤣) so we couldn’t be more excited! We’re also sponsoring the cosplay comp 🤩

That said, intestate travel is tricky when you’re just two little guys doing big exciting things without the big exciting funds, so we’re running a sale to help us get there a bit more comfortably! Any orders will go towards AVCon and are super appreciated 🙏🙏
