Yasemin Baydar and Birol Demir, a.k.a. :mentalKLINIK, made a selection of un-inflated inflatable plastic toys. After we did a series of tests to find the best way to copy them hyper-realistically, we used electroforming to copy the models into copper and spray painted the original design back on. 

 various dimensions between 16.4 × 15.7 cm & 31.5 × 16.6 cm
