Zodiac Castings was a British company that produced resin miniature figures.

Contents

Description

Zodiac Castings, a company based in Liverpool, first started manufacturing fantasy miniatures in the 1980s. Unlike many other British miniatures companies of the time, they cast using resin rather than metal, producing 25 mm scale accessories such as fireplaces, pentagrams and tombs. [1]

Reception

In Issue 20 of Imagine (November 1984), Ian Knight found the resin-cast accessories to be competently made, but unimaginative, calling them "fairly routine [...] there is little to recommend Zodiac over their better-established rivals." Knight liked the fact that the pieces were cheap, and concluded, "No doubt Zodiac, like everyone else, will improve with experience and expand when their imagination takes off, and that may be worth waiting for." [1]

A die-cast toy is a toy or a collectible model produced by using the die-casting method of putting molten lead, zinc alloy or plastic in a mold to produce a particular shape. Such toys are made of metal, with plastic, rubber, glass, or other machined metal parts. Wholly plastic toys are made by a similar process of injection molding, but the two methods are distinct because of the properties of the materials.

1:144 scale is a scale used for some scale models such as micro/mini armor. 1:144 means that the dimensions of the model are 1/144 (0.00694) the dimensions of the original life-sized object; this equates to a scale of 1/2 inch per 6 feet of original dimension. For instance, an airplane 30 feet (9.14 m) in length would be a mere 2.5 inches (63.5 mm) long as a 1:144 scale model.

Art toys, also called designer toys, are toys and collectibles created by artists and designers that are either self-produced or made by small, independent toy companies, typically in very limited editions. Artists use a variety of materials, such as ABS plastic, vinyl, wood, metal, latex, plush, and resin. Creators often have backgrounds in graphic design, illustration, or fine art, but many accomplished toy artists are self-taught. The first art toys appeared in the 1990s in Hong Kong and Japan. By the early 2000s, the majority of art toys were based upon characters created by popular Lowbrow artists, linking the two movements.
