Talk:Mold

I have no idea where we could FIND this, but man, an image of the actual steel-cut molds used for a TF toy would be pretty awesome. This article should probaly go into detail on the process and expense involved. --M Sipher 22:04, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Seconded.

I like how this article is shaping up, particularly the links to related articles. There's a whole network of toy-related articles that are kinda hard to find outside of digging through the Toys category (see Brick, Articulation... I'd like to see more of a hierarchy for them so they can all be grouped and cross-linked. Most of our content is organized by franchise. What kind of home should there be for stuff like this that isn't bound to one particular franchise? -- Repowers 22:12, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

The movie DVD's "Their War" featurette has a brief sequence of the Leader Prime mold being filled with liquid plastic. Screencaps of that will probably be the best we can do. --Thylacine 2000 23:23, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

• somewhere* I have a picture of the mold for a GIJoe rifle - would that work? -hx 02:38, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Too small, I think. Ideally, we'd have the "small car" variety mentioned at BC. --M Sipher 02:49, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Possible disambiguation humor

This article is about the metal forms used to create toys. For the Transformer toys that actually sprout mold, see Pretender Monster.

Blurry

From what I can gather, this article is blurry with regard to the distinction between plastic inhection mold, the technical device used to create parts for toys, and "mold" as in "sculpt", a basic build for a toy that can be redecoed or retooled.

After my massive overhaul of the Retool article, I guess I should get started on improving this article next.--Nevermore 07:01, 5 July 2009 (EDT)
