Toy Story Replicas (No trading-related posts please)

Aren’t screenshots enough for it ? ^^

if you could import screen shots into modeling software perhaps…but i doubt it

I would love to try, but i don’t have any 3d modeling softwares :angry:
I maybe can try to draw it tho, i’m not bad at it, (well it’s ok xD)

Hey everyone just wanted to show you all my collection SO FAR! lol Let me know what you think.

^ Its great!:smiley:

(But you don’t have to post it twice! 8D )

Nope. Screenshots can be used but a 3D modeler works very much the same way as real sculptors do. They use screenshots as reference to work from, nothing more.
There is some newer techniques than can extract an approximate 3D model from a single image, (check out an example here that uses Tom Hanks) but your kinda limited wheat you can do with it. Not that Ive even used it.

I could try and model something, but Its hard to do with the reference I have. Not to mention skill level…
I really need to step it up in terms of what programs I know. Ive been using the same limited freeware 3D modeler for the past decade. I need to start learning something like Max or Maya before I could be of any real use to you guys with 3D printing.

Ive thought of this, but does the game even have a semi accurate Trixi model in it? And you can’t count the ones you see in the cut scenes, those are FMVs, ie just rendered video. You would need something that was actually used in game. You’d also need to find a way to export the model into something usable. Ive never really done game mods so I couldn’t say how hard that would be.

I’m still around, I just haven’t been as active lately since can’t afford to add anything new to my collection, nor has there been any major announcements to talk about.

It looks like disney store is doing Build-a-Trixie.

So they’ve done Chuckles, Trixie, and Sparks…

Its like they know there is a severe lack of trixie and chuckles, but instead of making something realistically sized…they make build a 6 inch figure, where to get either, you gotta drop $60…which few people will do

Marketing team kinda blowing it

Also, Spiritmama’s robot looks pretty good, but for $425, I think I’ll pass…

I think Disney store is struggling a little, after all, they’ve been going down - hill for years, I just wish they would pull out a good and TO - SCALE toy story character every now and then, like they did with Hamm, but I know that will not happen :angry:

Such a shame, because that looks amazing, especially how she got a plastic - like feel to him but all her creations are so expensive and I could buy a big pack of air drying clay at my local WHSmith’s for £5 and make something (not as good as the robot perhaps!!) Perhaps, hopefully she will lower the price for him! 8D

I’d settle for a trixie “bank”

hahahaha, just something to scale!

I was lucky enough to get Robot from her before she jumped the price to $425
I should be receiving him soon though.

I’m curious though, is there someone on this forum named ‘Michael’? I’m just wondering who else is purchasing from her and I guessing it’s someone on this website.

If you don’t mind, how much did you pay?

$240
Although the price might not be that low, I’m still ecstatic that I actually got a ‘accurate’ Robot, something that is very hard to come by.

Fair enough, not horrible, considering some people are willing to pay $200+ for troikas

lostdude that would be me michael

It doesnt look that different to the tiny version they already sell in a pack with other characters. And i don’t think the ‘construct a chuckles/sparks’ sold very well either.

Honestly I don’t get Disney Store one bit they could make so much money by just making an Accurate Chuckles heck they could even make money by releasing the Small Fry Characters which they are rumored to be doing but we’ll see.

Hey Slink how is that new Shark model going :slight_smile:
Also Disney Store really tikes me off they could make so much money off a full sized plush Chuckles and a piggy bank Trixie or some rex and trixie 2 pack because so many people cant get there hands on TSC Rex, this would make everyone happy,

I understand why Disney Store wouldn’t make a Rex I think they were one of the only stores in the US that was selling him in store but their is no excuse for the other characters.

Looks pretty good :slight_smile:
