A startup in Britain called MakieLab is working on a customizable 3D printed doll that will be tied to an online game for teenagers.
They’re very keyed into the idea of personal and local manufacturing and opening their designs, which makes them close in spirit to Sew By Numbers (although different in implementation). I’m excited to see what comes of this.
During Comic Con 2010, I ran around the con floor and other locales with a bag full of blank dolls, searching for artists to vandalize them. These are the results. Diana Sprinkle is an amazing artist who creates all sorts of iconic character designs, mostly involving cats. She also makes comics and other things. And […]
One of my favorite places to visit online is Thingiverse, a catalog of digital designs for physical objects. Â Most of the content is for people with 3D printers and laser cutters, but it’s designed to be open ended. So I put the SBN Alpha up there. Â Hey, it’s a digital design for a physical object! […]
Last year at San Diego Comic Con, I took a bunch of our blank dolls with me, to be illustrated by artists. The results were pretty amazing – I basically ended up with my own little art toy collection. I got dolls made by the likes of David Malki!, Phil Foglio, Diana Sprinkle, and Robert […]
During Comic Con 2010, I ran around the con floor and other locales with a bag full of blank dolls, searching for artists to vandalize them. These are the results. Girl Genius is one of my favorite comics, so I didn’t pass up a chance to geek out at Phil and Kaja Foglio when I […]

Hey kids! Our doll design contest ends in a week, so now is the time to pull out that pencil or tablet and start drawin’. (More details here.) So far we’ve only had one entry, so I’ve decided to sweeten the pot a little. On top of a sweet trophy and sweet swag for the […]
During Comic Con 2010, I ran around the con floor and other locales with a bag full of blank dolls, searching for artists to vandalize them. These are the results. Apologies for the blurry photo. Â K. Michael Crawford is a childrens fantasy artist, and she liked her doll so much she managed to talk me […]
During Comic Con 2010, I ran around the con floor and other locales with a bag full of blank dolls, searching for artists to vandalize them. These are the results. Robert Iza is a contributor to LavaPunch and all around badass. Â He pretty much won at designing dolls this comic con. Â Check this guy out! […]
So much stuff has been condensed into the last week, its hard to sit down and catalog it all. Â But catalog I shall – for science. On Monday, I published the first few of our doll designs, done by myself and the fabulously talented Onion. Â Download them! Â Download them now! When you download them, you […]
