Homemade Mushroom Chocolate Molds (Zombie, Halloween, Sumo, FunGuys) 2

Three months ago my friend decided we should make special chocolate molds. He bought some supplies and our friend, who is a 3D Animator, modeled the pieces. Since then, the craft has really taken back. I made a picture portfolio of the four character series that we have made so far. Below is all of the chocolate mold master copies. Enjoy!
Here is the series that started it all! I give you, the FunGuys!
This series started out of the need for a smaller chocolate (1.5g). People really like these fat guys because of the tight punch they pack! I like them because of the direct tie between Sumo wrestling and mushrooms via Japanese culture. I hope you like the Sumo Series!
This series began for one simple reason: everybody loves zombies! We like to only use aborts (the living dead) in these chocolates. Keep away from the Zombie Series!
This is the series we cooked up for last Halloween. The first on is a zombie mushroom that is dressing up as a regular FunGuy for Halloween. The second is a FunGuy with a Zombie mask. Again, we used all aborts in the Zombie version, and fans of each series lined up to grab these chocolates! Don't get spooked by the Halloween Series!
If there's enough demand for one I'll post a short tek soon for those of you who want to make your own molds. If you want copies of these mold masters, PM me! I'll add new series to this thread as they come out. Thanks guys!

Awesome!!
Two ideas: 1)sell the molds! 2)make little statues/keychains/glowing trip toys using these molds and sell those
I'd be all over both!

those are awesome! I wanna see the choclates, because I've played with the same idea a lot, but had a hell of a time getting the choclates to come out looking as good as the molds. Those are sweet!

I will post some chocolates on Sunday! We usually grab some melting chocolate and double boil it on low with some butter. Anything else going into the chocolates has to be ground thoroughly with a metal grinder or a magic bullet to maintain the texture of the chocolate. The chocolate is left to cool until it is the consistency of ice cream and then packed into the back slit of the molds very tightly. The molds are frozen for about 3 hours and then the mold is peeled off of them carefully. We then package them in tinfoil and cool them in the refrigerator. The Halloween series cannot be done this way, and we have to make a mold for both the mask and the character and then attach them later. They come out looking awesome though, so it's well worth it!
I'll talk to my friend about how much the molding supplies cost and we'll put up a price for the whole set of molds if you want to grab 'em!

We are currently figuring out the best way to get these molds to the people who want them cheaply, quickly, and in working condition. The positive response has been incredibly exciting for us, and we thank you guys for checking these pieces out!
You've got to love a hobby where ingenuity and experimentation is rewarded with such praise!
I'll post an update on the availability of the molds tomorrow. Thanks guys!

HA! Good eye!
Sculpey IS the bomb!
The entire FunGuy and Sumo series is sculpey, the Zombie and Halloween series is the 3D printer at our school! We baked them low to soften them up a bit and then gave them all the mouth cuts and carvings.
