I was online in the 90s and met a friend who had the crazy idea of taking a cast from his stallions. He developed a technique which seemed to work and took casts from his ponies and Percherons. I still know him, I showed him the image of what my Chance Flared will look like. He said that during the time that he was casting and making toys, that he would make $2000 a month. But his wife convinced him to stop, saying there was no future in it. If you have a very early toy then it might be one of his.
