Soft material figures to play with
Soft material in big size
Paleontological figures made of soft vinyl that can be held and played with. The soft material makes them safe and hard to break even if dropped or bumped.
Focus on details
Even though the modeling is deformed, the physical characteristics of each archaic creature have been perfectly reproduced.
Focus on safety
All vinyl models are certified with the CE mark, a European safety standard. The paints we use have also been tested for safety in accordance with the Food Sanitation Law.
