I wanted Alligators for some Malifaux swamp terrain and couldn't find anything miniature wise, but went to an "upscale" toy store and they had small rubber animals by the register. They were a descent sculpt but rubbery. So I bought 5 of them for like $.15 each and dipped them in boiling water and reposed them so they were different then made molds of them with instant mold and cast a bunch in resin. With a little clean up they worked pretty well.
