NEW DESIGN: Dark's Sphynx cat-mermaid (#LD21)
Here is another (and the last) design for the MerMay theme – a Sphynx mer-cat for Little Dark.
The tail allows the mermeow to stand (it's the same tail as the one used for Mermabbit).
We made two versions of the eyes – inserted and a slot for external 6 mm glass eyes.
The kitty is released in 3 versions:
- For Dark has holes for the Dark's hands
- Keychain has a loop for a chain
- Toy - just a figurine
P.S. Free access to this design has ended. Our paid subscribers can purchase it on the MyMiniFactory website using the club discount code. The code and MMF link can be found here

Hi Flexi Pets people, Love your work, especially the cats and dogs and other realistic looking animals. I recently bought on cults your Yorkie dog, and am having trouble getting the pin to fit into the head of the Yorkie with the upright ears. I've printed many of the other dogs and cats and not had this issue, but the Yorkie pin is just too big to fit into the socket of the head. It fits into the body no issue, but the head will NOT go without resizing the pin. Please can you maybe look at this and perhaps resize the pin at the end that goes into the head? Thanks in advance Simon
Hi Simon, thank you for your kind words about our designs and feedback on Yorkie. Yes, we’ve revised the Yorkie design and will be releasing an updated version of the model in the coming days. You should receive a notification email from Cults when we upload the update. I’ll also personally let you know once it’s ready. Thanks again!
Any chance we could get this as a full kitty version keychain kinda like darks froggies?? :)
Yep, we’re planning to make a regular sphynx for Little Dark, as well as an exclusive keychain version — more realistic and detailed.
Is there any chance of getting a more Meatball-like cat for the purrmaid?
Hahaha, I haven't thought about it before but now I can imagine it and want to make it. This idea is in my list to do now 🤗 Thank you for it 💜💜💜
Sorry but have one more question: I have a single color printer, so is it possible to make the merpets in 2 pieces? Like if the cat can insert down into mertail? I'm starting to paint, but painting never looks as nice as printed material. Just bought 6mm glass eyes too. Super excited to play with those. Thank you again! :)
Removable parts are always very tricky, especially with PLA plastic. Also, the animals are too small at 100% scale, so this kind of design wouldn’t be practical and wouldn’t work well for most people. For me, it would mean extra development time that I could otherwise spend creating new models. So unfortunately, I won’t be taking this on. As for painting, I’d recommend getting acrylic markers (specifically acrylic ones) — they work well on plastic, and you can find shiny colors like metallics. These markers can be used to paint the tail — the scales and fins.
Also... want you to know how much I appreciate and love everything Dark and Grimm. I get so excited when I see the email notification with anything Dark. Do you have any other models / modifications in mind for Dark and Grimm?
Thank you so much for your kind words 🤗💜 I'm happy to know that. Actually yep, I have plans for a new character, I'm working on it right now and it can be released at the end of next week. And I also have some ideas of some modifications for Little Grim but I haven't started it yet. But something tells me that if the new character becomes beloved, I'll have to create another one and make more modifications for them. We'll see — it's happening soon.
YES... more Dark :) Her and Grimm are absolutely the best! Couldn't find Dark here so bought on Cults. Can you tell me please where to find crocs version of Grimm?
Thank you ) Oh, Little Dark and Grim are coming as a Welcome Pack but it needs to use a code to download them for free. Check this page for all free designs available for you https://www.patreon.com/posts/93014918 And I'm going to send you a message in DM soon :)
