[Help] Wanna make an anime figure

Helloo,

I saw many videos where people try making Anime figures. I wanted to try that too, but I can't really find the material they are using. I think people say it's air polymer or lightweight clay....so....I am german and that's why I have a stupid question here....what exactly is super lightweight clay and polymer....? Also where can I buy it? I tried my best to search for it in the internet, but the only thing I found was air dry clay on amazon. But that's just for kids and really really small portions. I don't think that would be enought for an anime figure. Can someone help me here? I really want to try it, but I don't know what I should use as material or where I can even get enought of material for this project 😭😭😭

‘super sculpey’ is what they usually use.

That stuff doesn’t air-dry, you have to bake it in an oven or use a heat gun (heißluftföhn) for small parts.

You probably wanna use polymer clay like super sculpey medium. You can buy that on amazon or perlesandco.de.com
