The Hasbro style eyes are so cute! I love the rooted hair on the Raptor tail, and she is definitely my favorite. I don't really have much in the way of constructive feedback, but I wonder if a couple of more details on the body could bring them to life even more. Perhaps some scales, feathers, or patterns in a different color/shade than the base color? But really, they are awesome as is!

Yah me too! I saw a couple people who had done it and asked, they drilled holes in their completed sculptures, but I simply poke holes with the eye of a needle carefully before baking. Then when I root the hair in I fill the holes with glue and push the hair in with a smaller needle then the one I created them with. The raptors hair holes were larger and I regret that decision. The trex and triceratops were good to root though. I was really happy with the product. Now I have to perfect the glue part. Since the heads are foil inside I think I will poke the holes all the way through for better rooting.

I love this idea!
Wow, thankyou very much! I theorised it was something like that but wasn't 100% sure - thanks a bunch, you've really helped me!
I don't want to step on any toes but I found your Etsy and saw you were using Sculpey III. That's a really brittle, fragile, and low quality polymer clay unfortunately. There are much stronger brands out there for the same price or even less. Let me know if you want any info on them. I make dolls with polymer clay

I make dolls with polymer clay I mixed it with sculpey premo accent to get s custom color, do you think that helps? I am not a fan of sculpey III... It was so soft I had to be super careful not to loose my detail. The other two are made just from premo mixed for custom color. I use to use super sculpey for my other sculptures and loved it,but I don't like painting the body, so I switched to premo. It's still softer but at least the details can withstand me manhandling them. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Really?? Soufflé is the best?? I did buy one pack of it, actually I think there is soufflé in the raptor, because I mixed three kinds. The soufflé green/blue, the shiny sculpey III and sculpey green premo accents. I like to have the sparkly bodies on them all. Thanks for the link, I'm still a bit new to sculpting.
