Our processing times are increasing due to Fanfest hype! If you need an order in time for Christmas, we recommend ordering asap.
We plan to have a Black Friday-Cyber Monday deal, but unfortunately due to the queue/timing, orders placed during that sale likely won’t arrive in time for Christmas. 🙇

Our very own @turtlesmithy.bsky.social in his M-02 set! He used a combination of powders for a custom set of Sapphire with Ruby tips.

Our M-01 horn set was one of the first we ever made! @mimicrycosplay.bsky.social became our apprentice while we were adjusting the masters and remaking molds as they wore out.
Ethan casted his own sapphire horn set pictured here!

We have Genyaapa (IG) modeling our F-04 set! They picked a green garb to match the emerald highlights of the horns. 💚

Here’s the lovely @yayahan.bsky.social modeling our F-03 horn set! Requests for Amethyst horns/tails were popular at the time, and for this set we played around with some additional colors for a pink to violet gradient.

Our F-02 set modeled by @courageofstars.bsky.social !

The paint job was a fun experiment with various metallic powders plus blue dye to create a twilight sky look.

We do offer custom colors on our dragon sets, with pricing dependent on complexity/number of colors

Last year we brought a bunch of our dragon horns to a cabin trip with friends, and they modeled for us!

First up is @mahoumaddie.bsky.social wearing our F-01 set with gold highlights; her smiles are contagious! 💖
She edited this photo herself as well

The grind for the perfect bird continues, which brings back memories of my favorite @yeticon.bsky.social photo from a few years ago. Kevin is an absolute U N I T and I love him. Just look at this bird. 🥹

Did you know I’ve done more Trigun cosplay than Vash? I did Amelia from Trigun: Badlands Rumble with @turtlesmithy.bsky.social years ago! There’s one or two more I’d like to do, but I’m too overwhelmed right now!

If you need something last-minute for Gateway Fate, order before October 10th, and request in-person pickup in the order notes.

For Halloween orders, please allow minimum 2 weeks for creating + shipping time, and include your deadline in an order note.

Thanks! 🎃
