    Question Anybody in TOY business?

    Hi guys,
    Me again. I wanted to ask for an advice of someone who might be in a toy or some sort of a figurine business. I found out that using such program as ZBrush I can create some interesting characters ( see my very first works here: ZBrushCentral - My first character - sort of a swamp monster. ) that can be 3d printed and then duplicated in plastic, resin, whatsoever.

    Yet I do not know how would it be possible to sell them later. Of course, I'm not talking about casting 10 models and selling them in a garage sale , supposedly 100 of them should be the smallest volume. Anybody knows where, how or to whom I could sell them in such quantities?

    Thanks,
    R

    I went to a house in Illinois once that was haunted. It had a paper on the table from 1977 and its like everyone disappeared. Shoes coats dishes, everything sitting out like they just vanished. ANYWHOOO they had an entire barn full of toys and an old Duck-on-a-string assembly line.
    I know its like I am hijacking the thread but this made me think of that creepy day.
