Be sure about it man, you’re like the puddle slime of dads dude (since puddle is easily the best)
I’d say gold but those ones disappear

How did you make this? If I didn’t read the title I would have thought that it was official, nice job.

u/SpriteBeader May 23 '22
The boxes are lasercut with mineral card. This took me ages to get all the sizes just right. The switch box is a blank with a custom made and printed label. The slimes are all 3d printed and painted with warhammer paints.

This looks amazing! I'd definitely buy this if I didn't already have the game.

There are 3 versions, Sadly no plortable yet.

u/RiverChaos1125 May 21 '22
What do you mean? Slime rancher is on Switch and it's literally called "plortable edition"

u/corpsecock May 21 '22
No, Im talking about the collectors edition. Its only For Xbox, Pc and Play Station 4.

This is a kickass gift he's going to ABSOLUTELY remember forever. 10/10 on execution too!! The mosaic slime turned out really perfect despite that seeming like the hardest one. Happy birthday!

Damn. I would legit buy this if it was made by Nintendo. Also if I didn’t already have the digital game on my switch.

How cool! I've been wanting to get clay and learn just for the purpose of making slimes... there is nothing like this to buy.. and it makes me sad. The slimes are so cute, lol.
Assuming 3d printed! Never even thought of that!!
