This listing is for a furby in random color and firmness, available for a slight discount (because it gets me out of product photography, yay!). Furbies won’t be flopped and probably won’t be a single color.
It’s just a way to select a different pattern in the final silicone.
Note that patterning might be varied and no two fades, ribbons, marbles (etc) are alike. The choice of pour pattern will just affect how I arrange the silicone in the cups before pouring into the toy.
Fade: Colors transition smoothly from one to the other VERTICALLY on the toy
Hard Marble: Marbling with clearly defined blobs of color; only available on toys with 1 section or toy bases
Soft Marble: Colors are poured into a single cup and then into the toy resulting in a more blended look and maybe some ribboning here and there; Default for toy bases and anything with more than 1 section
Ribboning: Only available for toys with 1 section; the unholy blending of fades and soft marbles that theoretically result in some cool swirls on the side of the toy
Solid Color: Exactly what it sounds like :P
Stripes: Only available on toys with a single section; Strips of color running HORIZONTALLY along the toy; thickness of stripes will vary and the color divides won’t be perfectly straight as is commonly seen on commercial pride toys etc. Check out the Toy Warranty page under ‘Toy Lifetime’ for more info on why I pour wet.
Colors are broken down into ‘base colors’ which are the main, opaque colors for the selection and ‘glow’ which includes glow powder and added glitters etc that can be added into a base color.
If you want to get the most out of the colors in your toy, I recommend choosing contrasting values, vary the sheens (choose some matte and some metallic), and maybe tossing in some UV colors if you have a backlight available.
I have lots more specific info listed here.
Also know that glow powder is heavy and will sink so if you put glow in the base of a toy and not in the rest, that color might end up in the tip of the toy as it sinks.
You can add as many shimmer colors and glow powders to a given base color as you want, but I recommend sticking to a single one of each otherwise they can get a bit muddy looking.
Frankly, ‘extras’ are just attributes I couldn’t think of a better section to put them in, so I bundled them all together into what’s basically a ‘misc’ section.
Adding a different color to the bottom of the toy. If there’s a clear place in the design to add the split (like the base of the morel), I’ll start the base color there. Otherwise I’ll just leave an inch or two at the bottom for the base color.
If 2+ colors are selected for the base color, they’ll be marbled together unless otherwise specified.
Oozes of silicone from the top of the toy down (from tip) or from the bottom of the toy up (from bottom).
One of the most unpredictable design features to add to a toy – sometimes there might be one or two large drips and other times there might be lots of small ones.
Only available on toys with 2 sections. Twist entails rotating the mold while pouring to create swizzles of color like a barber shop poll or a candy cane.
It’s a vertical divide going from top to bottom in a toy. If a toy were to have 2 sections, the left would be one color and the right would be a different color.
The pour pattern that will be used in a particular section. You can choose different patterns for each section (solid on the left, fade on the right, etc)
By choosing a toy with more than one section, certain patterns (like hard marble) won’t be available.
How hard the divide between the colors is. ‘Soft divide’ will leave a more blended edge while ‘hard divide’ will have a much crisper boundary where the colors meet.
‘Zig-Zag’ is a permutation of ‘hard divide’ and is only available on colors with 2 sections
