Mass Production

After reviewing my current situation with my tutors we all agreed that it would be good to mass produce my simplistic styled toy, as this is what a designer toy company like Kidrobot does.

This is definitely going to be a challenging task as I have no experience in mass producing toys. So to gather as much information as I could I visited the model-making degree downstairs and spoke to the tutors and even some of the students about what I would like to do. One student recommended making a silicone mould so that I could make exact copies of one toy. She explained that I could buy the materials for it in the model-making shop at a very cheap price aswell... YAY! The tutors also recommended this as it would be the most affordable way of me making copies without the use of machinery. 

I now feel a lot better about the idea of mass production. I know what materials I should be using and how much it is roughly going to cost me. Tomorrow I shall purchase some of the silicone solution and begin my mission.
