    Casting with a rubber-type material?

    I was at the local fair over the weekend and one of the booths was giving away small, rubber-like figures. My kids picked up a couple and I was intrigued by how they were made. They are cast in a flesh tone material that is "squishier" than a vinyl eraser. They don't appear to be roto cast, but rather hand cast. I was thinking that this material would be perfect for custom heads. Does anyone know the name of a material that I talking about?
    Looking for:

    Smooth-On had some good stuff like that. I was using it for Micronaut helmets. Squishier materials won't crack.
