Can you remove brown stains on sofubi or just paint on it? Can u use acrylic paint on sofubi?

[@vinylwonder]

It depends what the brown stains are from. And I don't recommend using acrylic paint on sofubi. Please consider using our vinyl paint that's been formulated specifically for use on vinyl toys. Acrylic paint can easily chip off because it does not form a proper chemical bond.

Happy painting!

I am just flabbergasted how quick that paint dries to the touch. How is that possible?

[@vinylwonder]

Our chemist is a wizard! He's been formulating paints for 50+ years

Hi, can you adding some blood splatter paints on a coated sofubi? Or should we decoating/thinnering the paint first? Or adding surfacer? Or you can just splat some red paints for bloody effect? Thanks

[@vinylwonder]

Yes, you can add a blood splatter effect with our vinyl paints by using the Ready-Spray Red. It should be pretty thin in the ready-spray format, but if you want it thinner, just mix in a little vinyl thinner with it.

Incredible intro spin

[@vinylwonder]

Haha thank you

[@codylambert9451]

yes! thank you!

[@vinylwonder]

My pleasure!

[@servbot30]

About how long does the vinyl surface stay receptive to paint after using the thinner?

[@vinylwonder]

The sooner the better, but it just depends on how hot/dry or cold/wet it is.

[@nickreesillustration]

Great vid! and I love papa squatch~~~ love his flowery details

[@vinylwonder]

Thank you so much!

[@tomfury8501]

Nice work. I had previously seen your design for this character and was thinking about trying to find one in my price range.

[@vinylwonder]

Thank you! The lowest I've ever been able to sell them is for $180, but that's for bigger runs. They more commonly go for 200-250. They take a crazy amount of work. I'll try to plan another larger 180 release for wondergoblin.com soon.

[@tomfury8501]

@vinylwonder Sounds great. Thanks for explaining so much of the process and safety precautions in your videos. It's a blast to watch

[@animatedjam8873]

Love these videos

[@vinylwonder]

Thanks!

[@Imperatorelite999]

I read on your Instagram this was made in the USA. Most toys like this are made in Japan. What business did you use to make a vinyl toy?

[@vinylwonder]

He is in California. You can find them on instagram @quail_toy

[@Imperatorelite999]

@@vinylwonder Thank you so much! May I ask how much a typical 10 inch toy costs with them to produce?

[@vinylwonder]

@@Imperatorelite999 There are so many variables that come into play with pricing. It's best to just reach out and ask them. I would say maybe start smaller if this is your first toy though. The smaller the piece and the fewer the parts, the more affordable the cost.

[@animatedjam8873]

Can you show how to mix colors with your paints in your next video? :)

[@vinylwonder]

I actually have a video showing that very thing! - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHS4q42Ap6-phdU
