We certainly hope you enjoy looking at rows and rows of cute things, because that’s exactly what we have in store for you here!

Now, we know there are tons of really, really cute animal figures out there, but we’ve absolutely fallen in love with these hamsters produced by animal figure mold creator Yumi Nakano, and we just had to share the images with you!

To the delight of many Japanese internet users, Nakano has posted many photos of her figures on her Twitter account, including those that give us an idea of how her adorable figures are made.

▼Here are the hamsters just taken out of their molds. Yup, those rodents keep reproducing.

▼ The figures here have been painted with base coat. They still look shiny and wet, but once the base coat dries, the surface will have a matte appearance.

▼Here, they may look like the hamsters are being toasted, but they’re just been air-brushed to a nice brown color.

▼ Just see how nice and plump that little bum looks!

過去に何回もアップしてるのと同じような写真だけど。この原型はムギュっと握ってもよし、お腹もっちり、ハムケツプリッと( •̀ω•́ ) 写真では色が飛んでるけど、お腹には淡いピンク入れていてハムの体温を感じるような表現を…！ https://t.co/PtXnBopJFy

▼ She also creates figures of animals other than hamsters, including these white rabbits. The rabbits look like they have black eyes in they picture, but their eyes are actually a deep red.

If you enjoyed these photos, you can see Nakano’s works on the Hamuco. website which specializes in hamster and small animal figures and her adorable pieces can be purchased at the ART HOUSE in Osaka and Momofuku in Kyoto, and through online shops such as the Koubou Noren Gallery and the Momofuku Online Shop as well. She also has hamster and rabbit miniature figures available as gachapon toys through toy maker Kitan Club, known for their wide range of quirky gachapon trinkets and figures.

We hope we can continue to see more cuteness from Nakano, because, hey, who can resist these gorgeous little critters, right?
