I tried adding fake smoke with white doll hair. LMFAO
HAHA this is EXACTLY why I didn't cut any of these re-issues... I noticed that the combs I have are just too big (yes after being cut down lol) to fit properly, but of course I was also waffling on the scales and proportion confirmation.
I'll order a bunch of 88s today. If nobody has an issue, I can also cut and drill an 88 to be correct, and then cast up a few. I think I already have all of the supplies to do that here, although if I can just get a dozen 88s for a decent price I'd be happiest with that.
That is such a nice collection. I want to get all of his 'branded' inventions done (think you've got them all except the juicer?), and then do either the electric hammer or the rotary flyswatter just to confuse people

That first picture had me worried for a minute when first seeing it. thought it was something else. Lol
Boring update, but my toothbrush bristles came in today! So we'll see how that goes this weekend. I also just bought a bunch of the correct toothpaste caps and combs, seemed like a better option than casting for only a marginal amount less money.
Hilarious update/coincidence that I came across working on another project, anyone else recognize this razor?

Whelp we're outsourcing (again), nylon bristles getting manufactured out-of-house lol. At least that will be done.
Something bothering me though, what are you guys' thoughts on the toothbrush cap on the bottom? It is not a very tall piece, and if you just cut down a cap, you end up with a small donut-shaped piece that then has to be glued on (not a very strong bond). The two solutions (wish I knew how they did it on the original lol) I came up with are to:
1- Cut the cap, lay it down on parchment an fill it in with a little resin (and perhaps an imbedded screw with a little jig), and then it gets screwed into a pilot hole in the bottom of the buddy.
2- Incorporate a hole in the bottom of the buddy that lets a whole cap drop right in to the right depth, so it gets glued in as a whole cap.
#2 would be very secure, but the caps have ribbing so there would be little gaps between the round hole in the buddy and the indented ribs around the perimeter. Those little triangular gaps would be small, but I feel like my OCD would not like that; on the other hand, a little PVA glue rubbed in around there would fill those nicely I'm sure.
#1 would work too, but there might be a screw head visible if you looked inside the cap. It could of course be painted/whatever white.
Am I just overthinking all of this? Thoughts?
Revising the Buddy this afternoon and then test-printing another set of prototypes.

This also makes me feel better about not having to cut down all of these caps.... I started crunching numbers on what I've spent....
