Ha, thank you! I was doing so much Dark and Spooky stuff that I really wanted to make something with lighter vibes 😆It's actually something of a test pour for a potential "natural" color for Jehiel!

Oh, good catch (and thank you for giving him a home)! This fellow wore that color so well, he might've been a mascot for Nightmare Hollow 2025 if not for the fact that I'm trying to streamline my pigment selection just SLIGHTLY more before I commit to a finalized version 😆

It's drop time, come and check out our spooky friends!
pfcreations.org/collections/...

If you don't see any of the models you were looking for, no worries, I have something in the pipeline that should help. This drop was focused on new additions, but we'll get to the others later.

Ahhh, that would have me jittery too! Best of luck! 😆🤞

Reminder: drop tonight at 8 PM ET, in a few hours!

I don't think I showed these fellas before, but they continue the theme of "pours that are more than they seem". That electric orange actually has a soft iridescent sheen, but it gets drowned out on camera.

A literal pig! 😂He's a (pet) Meishan pig who roams the property freely. Unfortunately, he decided to use the spigot as a scratching post, and a small amount of PVC pipe didn't stand much of a chance against 300+ pounds of pork! 🤣(He's not sorry.)

Most insertable toys in this drop are Ryou, Elva, and Seiryuu's Tongue, in order to give these new molds a chance to shine! But if you're looking for our penetrables, the usual suspects will be present for the drop, since I reserve my 0020 specifically for them.

Silvius is sitting this one out, unfortunately. Both of his sizes need to be tweaked and completely re-printed in order to address the persistent air bubble issue, and make him less of a flop risk to mold.

This week's delay brought to you by... (checks notes) a very large pig breaking the water line to my office.

Anyway, we have a drop time: 8 PM ET on 10/16!

Model pages for Ryou, Elva, and Seiryuu's Tongue have been updated for their new sizes: pfcreations.org/pages/models

They probably look pretty interesting under blacklight, but I haven't plugged mine in to test it. I doubt there's enough interference from the shimmer color to totally negate the green and purple UV pigments.

Managed to get a half-decent video of Witching Hour in action. That big spot of green at the back of his head shows its violet sheen pretty clearly. A lot of the areas of the toy you perceive as purple are actually green but appear purple because of the shine color.

Thank you! I'm really enjoying the results thus far. They've all been pretty unique even though they're poured the same way.

Fritz Phoenix @pfcreations.bsky.social · 11d

Now that I've seen how it looks in the two most extreme firmnesses, I'm pretty sure it'll be just as good in 0030, and would be an excellent MTO candidate for all models, if there's enough interest in that.

Fritz Phoenix @pfcreations.bsky.social · 11d

I believe we have an answer to the question, "Does Witching Hour look good in 0020?"

If anything, it looks even more like the mystical brew it's supposed to be! Once again, the photos don't do it justice, it's super shifty even in poor indoor lighting.

A better look at the new Witching Hour prototype, now that I've got daylight to work with. This still somehow doesn't quite do it justice.

Fritz Phoenix @pfcreations.bsky.social · 13d

I doubted that particular design choice a bit at first, because the green-with-purple-shine didn't look as nice in the pot, but it's a totally different story in the final pour. Always nice when you're pleasantly surprised by the outcome! 😆

Fritz Phoenix @pfcreations.bsky.social · 13d

I'm going to have to try and take a video or something, though, because when I say a still photo doesn't do it justice, it's an understatement! It's shimmery and complex thanks to the purple and green having a green and purple sheen respectively.

The last time I featured this color, I was moving it in more of a "Pastel Halloween" direction, but it was a sort of complex color mix so I didn't commit to it fully. This experiment is a lot easier to make consistent, by comparison, and I think it hits the goal better, too.

Fritz Phoenix @pfcreations.bsky.social · 13d

Out of my two main Halloween house colors, Nightmare Hollow usually gets most of the attention. I thought I might try to further push its sibling color, Witching Hour, to a flashier extreme and try to even the scales a bit.

I think it might've worked!

Nothing too precise, but a drop needs to happen within about a week, barring any unforeseen circumstances that might make me push it back.

Truly the most wonderful time of the year!

He's a flashy one! I love how marbles turn out on him (something about the shape of the mold causes some of the coolest patterns), and this one's no exception 😁

It's October... that means it's time to GET SPOOKY! 👻🎃I think this experiment for Nightmare Hollow 2025 (the marble version for non-shafted things) is looking pretty striking.

Shouldn't be too much longer before I have enough stuff for a restock. 😁

Oh that would be fun! Incidentally, I think I did a few early pours kind of like this (black + another color), so you might just be seeing a few even if I don't get the chance to make something more specific. We're moving into the perfect time of year for black combo pours! 🎃

But as usual, if there's something you'd really like to see on one of these new fellows (well, new SIZES... and in Ryou's case, a minor revision with much smoother fin creases), feel free to post your inspo!
