ABOUT
From Idea to Vinyl Toy is a workshop exploring how original character designs are transformed from 2D drawings into physical vinyl toys and collectibles. Led by Hal Laren, comic artist, concept designer, and publisher at Reaper Comics, the session reveals the creative and practical decisions that shape a successful toy, from initial concept to production-ready model.
Key points include the impact of proportion, silhouette, and pose on toy design, the importance of facial features, clothing, and surface detail, and the real-world considerations of manufacturing and packaging. By the end of this workshop, attendees will understand the full process of developing a character for vinyl toys and gain insight into bringing their own designs to life.
