Hadn't seen this yet. Danny Choo's piece on Obitsu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bObV2kE5RU

At 2:05 in the video you can see positives for all the vinyl parts (sans head) for the coming 65cm male body.

That was very interesting! Thanks for posting the link MK. I hadn't been to Danny's blog in quite a while, so I had missed this.

It's interesting to note that while the heads are molded in the traditional PVC slush casting method, the bodies use a somewhat different approach.

I wonder if the injection molding for the ABS and POM parts is done off-site?

3:38 - "the product is then carefully removed from the mold." Lol... carefully... right.

That was the coolest thing i've ever seen!!!!! Thanks MK!!!

Thanks for the share! I enjoy watching how things are made. :D

0:22 b00bs!
Ow! I was just being aware of my surroundings.

Man I'm a total sucker for "how things are made" videos this totally made my night. <3

[Iwa_Hoshi]

I feel like swinging around my Obitsu just for lols after what he said at 1:22.... Oh wait I'm already doing that

Lol indeed

Cool vid!! I especially like seeing how they spray on the face-ups..! Didn't know it was done this way

I don't know if he ever posted it to his blog or not. He's been promising to but I haven't seen it yet. :p I just kind of lucked up and found it on youtube while looking for Obitsu videos. XD I thought the process was very interesting. I mean, I never would have guessed that the soft parts are pretty much boiled. Seeing how labor intensive it is to make each one gives me a whole new kind of respect for them.

Agreed!
