These multi-colored fibers are simply what we call "static grass", but in more exotic colors, right?

If so … then perhaps someone could start selling them some static grass applicators, while the fad is in full swing. :)

Or is it something else completely?

And, most importantly, what would you use the stuff for in your wargaming and miniature modeling? Surely there's gotta be something that we could learn or use from that!!!

If it's the same stuff a I have been using for some of my fantasy stuff, It's shorter more of a fine model railways scatter than static grass. Looks good but the containers are too small to do a decent job.

I has intended to use it for SF and fantasy ground cover on terrain pieces have done the base of one mushroom house then run out.

Then perhaps for making fuzzy petals on carnivorous plants, or something equally disturbing and alien?

Or for adding exotic-colored Mohawks on some figures? :)

Love the Mohawk suggestion, maybe for a 7TV game set in punk rock London!

They do: Check out the mdel railroad dept. for yellow squeeze plastic bottles with red caps from Noch (their stock number 08100. Should be around $5.00 USD in the USA. Be sure there is a shaker ring over the opening when you remove the red cap at the store.

I must have missed that in their video clips.

It looked to me like those ladies are doing all their application "by hand", meaning without an electric applicator.

These other people do seem to sell pink "foam powder" in big bags:
