    Kinda late to the thread but really liked the look of the Naga design, even if as a guy there is no way for me to ever use both of them at the same time.

    Unfortunately at this time I'm not offering shipping outside of the US, however I'm hoping to do so in the future! Sorry for the inconvenience. : (

    These are so awesome! Too big for me unfortunately but I love that your heart is in these pours. I bet if you did the elusive “rainbow Aurora” colour then you’d give BD a run for their money ;) can’t wait to see more updates !!

    All rightey, I've a medium Qilin to sell that I won't be posting in the store as he's what I'd consider a "mega-flop." Quite a shame as he's very pretty. T-T
    He was my first attempted pour with new molds and flopped for a variety of reasons, mostly because my neon pigments refused to mix correctly.

    Lovely, sparkly teal guy.

    ***The split fade is just for size comparison, not the one currently for sale!***

    +Medium Qilin in medium firmness
    +Translucent teal to flat teal fade on a deep, metallic aquamarine base
    +Micro- and macro-glitter throughout
    -Multiple specks of unmixed neon pigment
    -Multiple open bubbles throughout
    -Potential specks of exposed pigment
    -Could be fixed with sil-poxy

    His main issue is the bubbles of pigment close to the surface. While they are body-safe mica pigments, there is potential for them to bleed, which I'm sure is off-putting to many people.
    I'm not sure what to ask for him, so I'll accept a reasonable offer for a toy this size (albeit one with some issues). For reference, he's close to the size of a medium BD Chance (which typically goes for $105+shipping; obviously I'm not expecting anywhere near this much for him though).

    USPS shipping to the 50 US states only (sorry international friends!)

    If interested, pm me!

    Imo the pigment bubbles in the surface are not an issue, depending on the coloring they even look nice :)

    Okey dokey, our first big Etsy drop will be happening at 8pm EST on Wednesday, March 3rd! It features quite a few lovelies, including some fabulous GITD specimens, and, of course, an overage of sparkly goodness! We’re very excited (and nervous).

    A big thank you for the support and positivity we’ve received thus far! There are quite a few big (and not so big) things in the works. ; )

    As I can’t edit from mobile, the drop is *March 7th*, not the 3rd!

    Sorry for the confusion, I am a goober. TwT

    No problem, just wanted to ask on behalf of all the possible international buyers (and because I really want all of them :D)

    I'll be stalking your shop for a small changling whenever they're done being fixed up. :3 I've got my fingers crossed that they'll be in my size range!

    Gah, thank you! ;w;
    Tumblr is probably the best place for updates on ETA’s!

    While I can’t give exact dimensions until they’ve finished printing, for smalls I’m looking at a total length of about 5” with a max circumference somewhere in the 5-6” range.
