Toys, Collectibles & Miniatures

Toy, collectible, and miniature sculpting from concept to manufacturer handoff.

I sculpt figures for Schleich-scale toy lines, limited-edition collectibles, resin kits and tabletop miniatures. It starts with the silhouette — whether the thing reads from across a shop — and then gets practical fast: part breakdown, wall thickness, and whatever your mould or printer actually needs.

Best fit

Licensed figurines, designer toys, Schleich-style production lines, Industria Mechanika-scale kits, and 28 mm miniatures. The common thread is that the figure has to work in someone's hand, not just on a screen.

Where I earn my fee

Anyone can generate a nice concept image now. Getting it made is the hard part: geometry that leaves an injection mould without undercuts, and form that still reads at arm's length across a game table.

Work you can review

Blossom Pegasus and Hippocampus Meamare are ten years of Schleich production work. Stranski shows what I do at resin kit scale. Specialty Girl and Batgirl cover the collector and miniature end.

A few projects that show this kind of work better than I can describe it.

The one to look at

Blossom Pegasus

The piece people remember from Bayala: a winged horse carrying flower and crystal detail across the wings and mane. Geometry that thin fights injection moulding, so every petal was a compromise I had to get right.

Bayala Femaya production toy sculpt by Anna Schmelzer

Bayala Femaya

A Bayala elf for Schleich's 2016 toy line. Stylised enough to feel like a fairy tale, engineered enough to leave a mould — the balance the whole Bayala range runs on.

Hippocampus mare and Sea Unicorn foal — Schleich Bayala Meamare toy character sculpt by Anna Schmelzer

Hippocampus — Meamare

A Hippocampus mare with her Sea Unicorn foal for Bayala Meamare. Horse anatomy fused to fish anatomy, a gold-accented mane, translucent fins — and all of it had to survive tooling and a drop test.

Stranski scale-model render by Anna Schmelzer

Stranski

Five characters for Industria Mechanika, with Lorenzo Etherington's Stranski world behind them. Sculpted in ZBrush for resin production, and the range that took ZBrush Top Row in 2019.

Specialty Girl miniature sculpt by Anna Schmelzer

Specialty Girl

A miniature for Hangar 18, where the scale makes the decisions. Detail that would read beautifully at 20 cm simply disappears, so the form has to do that work instead.

Batgirl fanart collectible sculpt by Anna Schmelzer

Batgirl

Batgirl as a 1/16 scale fanart piece. A collectible gets looked at from every side, so the cape and the pose had to hold from the front and from 45 degrees.
