A mini shark toy is a small, articulated shark you can pose, fidget with or stand on a shelf. We print four new ocean designs with more personality than the usual swimmer: a Mini Workout Shark that stands on four legs, a Tiny Hammerhead Shark with a round, wide head, a Tattoo Orca covered in black and white swirls, and a chubby Whale. They cost $7 to $18, and each one comes in a single size.
This guide is for shark fans, parents shopping for a shark-obsessed kid, and collectors who already own our classic Shark and want something different. It covers each new design, how it compares with the sharks we already print, who each one suits, and five priced sets.
Pick the Mini Workout Shark for a laugh, the Tiny Hammerhead for a shark fan who knows their species, and the Tattoo Orca when you want one piece that stands out on a shelf.
Our Mini Shark Toy Lineup at a Glance
We now print seven shark listings plus the Tattoo Orca and the Whale. Here is the whole group, newest first.
Mini Workout Shark, $7. A gray shark with a red headband, standing on four stubby legs. One version.
Tiny Hammerhead Shark, $12. A rounded hammer head with an eye on each side and a segmented body. One version.
Tattoo Orca, $18. A thick-segmented orca printed in a black and white tattoo-style pattern. One version.
Whale, $12. A round whale with a spiral blowhole and a forked tail. One version.
Hammerhead Shark and the newer Shark, $7 each. Slim swimmers with a Keychain option: Yes adds a ring for $8.
Bone Shark, $5. A shark skeleton, sold as a keychain or as the shark on its own.
Great White Shark, $15. Our big one, about 10 inches long.
Classic Shark, $1 to $15. The six-size shark: Micro (1 in) $1, Mini (1.5 in) $1.75, Regular (2 in) $2.75, Large (3 in) $6, X-Large (6 in) $15, and Keychain $7.
The four new designs list no inch measurement, so we have not quoted one here. If size matters for a shelf or a gift box, ask us before you order. All of them are in our ocean collection.
The Mini Workout Shark: A Shark That Skipped No Leg Days
The Mini Workout Shark is the silliest shark we print. It is gray with a white belly, a red headband, a row of white teeth and a red tongue hanging out. Instead of fins underneath, it stands on four short legs.
How it moves. It prints in place as one articulated piece. The body bends, the tail swings, and the legs shift into a new stance that stays put. It stands on a desk on its own legs, which the swimming sharks cannot do.
Colors. The photo shows gray, white and red. You can ask for a pink shark or a blue headband in the Custom color box.
Who it suits. A gym buddy, a coach, a teammate, or anyone who likes a joke on their desk. At $7 it also works as a small add-on to a larger order.
The Tiny Hammerhead Shark: A Rounder Take on a Favorite
The Tiny Hammerhead Shark has a wide, rounded hammer head with a dark eye on each side, a back fin, side fins and a segmented body that ends in a tail fin. The body curves and the tail sweeps side to side, then holds the swim pose you give it.
Tiny Hammerhead or the $7 Hammerhead?
We print two hammerheads, and they are different designs. The $7 Hammerhead Shark is long and slim, with a flat head, and it can come as a keychain. The $12 Tiny Hammerhead is chunkier and rounder, with the head as the main feature, and it comes in one version with no keychain option.
For a backpack or a set of keys, choose the $7 Hammerhead with Keychain: Yes. For a shelf, or for a fan who would like both, the Tiny Hammerhead is the one with more character.
Colors. The listing photo shows classic shark gray. Deep ocean blue or a bright neon work well too; type it in the Custom color box.
The Tattoo Orca: Black and White Swirls From Nose to Tail
The Tattoo Orca is the showpiece of this group. Its body is a row of thick segments covered in a bold tattoo-style pattern of swirls and waves, with a grinning face, a tall dorsal fin, two curled flippers and a patterned tail fluke.
How it moves. The orca swims, bends and twists, then holds the pose. Its segments are thicker than a shark's, so it feels solid in the hand and sits steadily on a shelf.
Colors. Black and white is the look in the photo, and it is the obvious choice for an orca. For a different pair, such as navy and silver or teal and white, type both colors in the Custom color box.
Who it suits. Whale fans, anyone who likes bold patterns, and a collector who wants one ocean piece that people pick up and look at. At $18 it is the most expensive of the four new designs, and it is the one we would choose as a single gift.
The Whale: The Gentle One in the Group
The Whale is not a shark, but it belongs beside them. It is a chubby whale with a round head, a spiral blowhole on top, a small dark eye, short side fins and a forked tail. The body bends and the tail swings up, down and side to side.
Colors. We have printed it in ocean blue and in a soft slate gray. For pink, teal or any other color, type it in the Custom color box.
Who it suits. A younger child who wants something smooth and round, a beach house shelf, or a sibling who wants a sea animal that is not a shark.
Which Mini Shark Toy Suits Which Person
The shark-obsessed kid who knows every species by name: the Tiny Hammerhead Shark, then a Great White Shark when a birthday comes around.
The gym regular or coach: the Mini Workout Shark. It needs no explanation.
The collector with a shelf: the Tattoo Orca. Add the Whale for a pair that looks good together.
The party bag or classroom: the classic Shark in Micro at $1 or Mini at $1.75. Every child gets a shark without the cost adding up.
The backpack: the $7 Hammerhead Shark or the newer Shark with Keychain: Yes at $8, or the $5 Bone Shark as a keychain. More ring-ready pieces are in our keychains collection.

Questions About Mini Shark Toys
How big are the new sharks and the orca?
Their product pages do not list an inch size, so we will not guess here. Ask us before you order and we will answer. The classic Shark is the one to pick when you need an exact size, from 1 inch to 6 inches.
Can I get the Tattoo Orca or the Tiny Hammerhead as a keychain?
No. The four new designs come in one version with no keychain option. For a shark on a ring, choose the Hammerhead Shark or the newer Shark with Keychain: Yes, the Bone Shark keychain, or the classic Shark in its Keychain size.
Are they safe for young kids?
They are printed in premium PLA with no loose parts, but they are not chew toys, and the classic Shark's Micro and Mini sizes are small enough to fit in a mouth. Keep them out of a hot car, because PLA softens above about 140°F.
How long does an order take?
Each piece is printed after you order, inspected joint by joint and shipped within 1 to 2 business days. If it arrives broken, we reprint it free.
Picking Your Mini Shark Toy
Every mini shark toy in this group does something the classic swimmers do not. The Workout Shark stands on legs and makes people laugh, the Tiny Hammerhead puts its head first, and the Tattoo Orca turns a flexi into a patterned display piece. The Whale rounds out the set for anyone who wants a gentler sea animal.
Start with the person, pick the design that fits them, then choose a color. If you are buying for a party or a class, the $1 Micro Shark is still the easiest way to give every child their own.
At Cosmic 3D Creations, every shark and orca is printed to order in Como, Texas, in the colors you type into the Custom color box, and we check each one joint by joint before it ships. To see them in person or pick up your order at our Canton Trade Days booth, 4268/4269, December 3 to 6, check our event dates and message us before you order.
