Fun thing to play with

These are super cute and detailed. The accessories are adorable. The weapons are a bit fiddly to make and require either a sunny day or UV/Led lamp to set the resin but it was still exciting seeing the final result. I’ve already ordered more!!

I was so excited when I saw these that I bought two. Sadly both were identical which was disappointing but what was even more disappointing was how difficult it is to get the resin to harden.I followed the instructions exactly, then first used a UV lamp as I have in other minis however it didn’t seem to have any effect so I left it in the sun for 3 days… the resin is still wet!My guess is that the mould is so thick it’s blocking most of the UV light. I do intend to try again, but I’ll be waiting until summer as I really think it needs strong sunlight and lots of it.Apart from the problem with the resin the presentation of the set is stunning and so well executed. The ones I received were both sting (with the ring) so maybe other swords work better.

A gift for my granddaughter which sh loves

Very fiddly to make and requires a much longer setting time than advertised but I like how they really thought about everything you would need to make it. I don’t think it’s suitable for children but as an adult I really loved making it and the results.

I only had enough to make one sword as the resin leaked.Although was fun to make the one I'm disappointed I couldn't make all 4.

I was really looking forward to making this, but the sword mould is rubbish: it's not transparent, so you cant see how much resin you're pouring in. I had it in UV light for an hour, pulled the handle out and...nothing. It didnt even have any resin on it. So I poured some more in....same thing happened again. Impossible to see how much is going in. I wouldnt waste my money again, great concept, poor design.

Waste of money, the little tiny tube makes it very very difficult to fill up the moulds and impossible to do so without air bubbles. Not matter what I did I couldn’t get there to be no air bubbles, tried making the smaller weapon twice, first was just horrendous and second snapped off in the mould despite me being very gentle (I do miniature crafts so used to having a light touch). The big sword (I ordered 2 unfortunately) again was very hard to fill and looks rubbish.I see a lot of peoples didn’t cure, mine did but I left them in a window for 4 days, would have probably worked faster in the summer.Really regret buying and wasting money on these.
