A friend of mine showed me something called a "Munny" she was painting. I had never heard of these, because I live in the Dark Ages, LOL.
What they are, for the uninitiated such as myself, are plain vinyl figurines that you can customise yourself with paint and whatever you like. They look like a cross between a robot and a monkey, imo. XD
So, having found out what said Munnys were, I decided to search for steampunk ones. There weren't many, but here's a few I did like:
Tik Tok
Clockwork Munny
Robot Munny
My search also led me to some funny figurines by someone called Doktor A. Apparently he has a couple websites full of drawings of steamy characters that he's either made into figures, or intends to make. I'm not sure if any of them are for sale (yet). His sites:
Mechtorians.com
Spookypop.com
If any of this is old news, forgive me. But I am gleeful~ steampunk toys! biggrin

Hahaha~ expensive dog toys, those.
But ya, if you could somehow get a squeaker inside of a plain one, they might make excellent ones. XD

You're welcome~ biggrin
And as for Skelanimals, I just realised that I've seen those before. I went to the mall with a couple friends and they were in Hot Topic, and they were also at our local Hastings.
I don't see the appeal of them, to be honest. There's much better things around. XD

Hmm, perhaps I'll do just that someday, when I have the time.
