If you ordered troikas, please read the troikas thread
thanks!
Has anyone ever thought of using one of the lala loopsy dolls to make hannah’s rag dolls like janie and the sandbox doll and the yellow brunette one ?Congrats Wampar! 
Haha Can’t wait to see this its the reason I am going to the Muppet’s opening day.
I’ll wager anything that McDonald’s will do a range of these with their HappyMeals come February, it totally makes sense from a marketing and promotional aspect.
If that is the case it looks like I’ll be buying a lot of fast food next year because I must have that T-Bone! I’m loving the Transformers reference with this character.
Yeah and I’m pretty sure McDonalds can at least make these little guys accurate.
If this were still the 90s I think they absolutely would do a deal with McDonald’s or Burger King to make these toys. But times have changed, fast food restaurants cant do happy meal toys without parenting groups blaming them for making their kids fat. Disney only does happy meal toys sparingly now. If they did Toy Story it would be too much of a target, they probably figure their better off selling these for 5 to 10 dollars in normal stores.
Actually, Disney doesn’t do Happy Meal toys at all now. Their deal with McDonald’s ended in 2006.
To anyone who may be interested, once the troika project is wrapped up, I’m going to concentrate on finishing school strong and enjoying the holidays. But by early to mid January the next project will begin:
ROLY POLY CLOWN
I’m currently trying to obtain rough dimensions for it. The same company that made the troikas, make a “chime doll.” In other words, they make roly poly items that jingle, sound like any character we know?
They are going to custom carve and paint a prototype for me when the time comes, and seem confident it will look as good as the troikas. I know none of you have received your troikas yet (mainly because of the dumb boxes/UPS), but they look very much like plastic and the clown should too
Just something to keep in mind after the holiday when most will have christmas money 
I have to say that your troikas are gorgeous!! I would purchase a roly poly clown when you receive them.
Waiting for the troikas :') !
woooh i would definately buy this roly poly clown haha damn can’t wait to see this 
Very sorry about my troika dillemma, Slink! 
Still I praise you for your hard work!
Roly Poly sounds good I wish you good luck with the project, mate!
Not an issue, take care
Received my new set of Troikas from Slink today, posted some pics and my opinion over in his thread about the Troikas. FYI.
@ wampar re Slink’s Troikas
Wow. They’re gorgeous!
How can I get my hands on some of those Troikas? They’re soo cool! Is whoever is selling them able to ship to Australia?
Wow! They do look fantastic! Got to ask though, Slink, how did you get the shiny effect? Was it just a clear coat???
