I want to get my hands on some cheap ones, hopefully around 20-25 of them, half an inch (preferably smaller) in size. Are there any game tokens, charms or other options I could try*? Thanks, Dan * I want something a little more durable than dry garbanzo beans: TMP link |

Try looking at plastic beads your be suprised at what items they cast up and use for beads. |

Have you tried removing them from a lot of little plastic men? |

We can laser cut you a set in plastic or MDF with either engraved or printed detail if that's any good? |

Can you not make a silicone cast of a chick pea (garbanzo bean)and then cast them in resin? Mabe even a 2 part greenstuff push mold would work? |

I'm not sure, but the Tyranid Gaunt Biomorph sprue has Adrenal Glands on it which would do in a pinch. Do a google search or check your favorite purveyor of bits for an image. They fit your size requirement |

Ever consider small amounts of Green stuff and just poke the sides in with a hobby knife to make the wrinkles? Though, as it is brains don't actually hold all that well together in reality. Very squishy series of organic lengths backing into a case made of carbon. The more you think about how many ways there are to kill a human being, the more you wonder how we can possibly be so durable! |

I've gotten the BCB brains and they are just right for most zombie and other games, but if you need a little bigger how about: link or link link and even a WALKER to carry a medium or large around and you can select eyes, tentacles, claws or none! link |

These other ones don't look so little, but might still be of interest to some here:
