SUGGESTION: Color Swatches

[lucmccloud]

Right, so I was thinking, why dont you guys make small swatch packs that you can sell for like 3-4$ to show what colors you can produce your toys in, and show the differences in firmness in your toys? Like, you have red blue green black frost and natural, why not make blue and green soft, red and natural medium, and black and frost hard, so we can see what it looks like and feels like before purchasing a 40+$ toy. You also could shape them into like animals, or the Zeta Paw logo, or just a regular round disk, or even shaped after naughty bits ;3

Just a idea ^^

Yeah that sounds pretty good too me ^^ would be handy. if a disc shape should be atlest 1-2 cm thick tho to oget a proper feel of the squishiness ^^ if possible one side with smooth texture and one with textured too

also the different hardness'.  but you don't need a diff hardness for each color, just have all colors and have one or the colors textured and one soft one hard right?

I suggested 1 of each color and you can just make each color a different hardness. It doesnt have to be color coded even, just so we know "this is what hard feels like and this is soft" and "Blue might be too dark, I want frost!"

^^ just a idea. And it can be shaped to different sizes too. I wouldnt mind having a mini fox shaped one to make into a keyring or even a necklace

They really should widen the selection of colors they have and color patterns. (Like when you click to choose your font color in an email a window pad opens with every hue of each color.) They should allow a toy to have 2 colors too, eg like dark blue tip to a lighter blue base or vice versa and etc. Maybe even for toys with veins, have the toy be pink w/blue veins and etc. And they should have more size varieties. More (color) options = sexier.

All are technically available, you just need to send in a special request.  It's not available directly on the site so that way the time it takes to pour is decreased.

Oh, thanks for the heads up on that.

I don't know if you guys could make those but it would be cute if sample swatches could be made in little shapes. Maybe like little dragons, dogs or etc. That way people might want to buy them just to sit around and they would get more use. ^_^

Like little innocent 1" silicone or gel figurines of the animals? Like Red Rose Tea has those little ceramic collectibles I like?

I'd buy the little figurines for the novelty and cuteness alone! Though they'd serve more use if there were a magnet option - I never have enough magnets on my fridge.

Also, it would be helpful if instead of sending out giant, expensive, time consuming orders to people containing figurines of every color and firmness available you just order packages of 3 figurines apiece with up to 3 color and 3 firmness options.

Or for easier production you can make 1" cube molds and do a surplus of color samples and firmness samples so that all you have to do is just sort out the samples and dump them in order bags. Nothing innoculous about little cubes - you can have them out as office desk toys and nobody would be the wiser, and molding and unmolding them would be fast!


I almost want to see them for humor's sake done in Jello Jiggler molds. I have a racecar one in the kitchen somewhere if I remember right.

What type of restrictions are there on custom colors and such?  When I get the money to order some toys, I'd love to get some custom colors and such done.  Would be worth the extra wait time that would likely be involved.

As for colors, I'd be happy with such a color pallet on the site with a disclaimer that colors are approximate and may vary depending on your monitor settings and the particular dye lot of the materials used or whatever.  Been wishing for that for a LONG time, since back when all there was were Gels and the idea of going to Silicone was almost too much to consider.

You can message Bear about the specific colors you have in mind. If and when he vats back to you. :3 but in his defense he's doing much better.

As of now to my knowledge Bear can make over 40 colors in gel and over 25 in silicone.

Cool!

Actually, maybe some test swatches could be premade? It would be a great use for little bits of silicone left over when making toys!

Also, one site I saw made it so that buying a test swatch set got you a coupon for a discount on your next toy purchase. This could be a great promotional for Zeta Paws to assure that all those swatches will help get even more customers for the company. It wouldn't need to be a big discount, something so small as the price of the swatches would work. If the customer doesn't come back, at least money was made on the swatches.
