These molds seem to be made of quality plastic. They are cute. We recently watched YT videos about bento boxes and it include creating eggs into fun shapes. We couldn't wait to try it. The molds are made in Japan and the instruction is also in Japanese so expect to get the how-to somewhere else.
Make sure not to scratch the egg while removing the shell. You have to put it in the mold while still hot. It is impossible to peel it while hot so the trick is too peel it under running faucet. I place the egg in upright position and close it gently. It is OK to have some part of the egg to squeeze out, bigger egg is actually better than a small one to make sure you fill every nook of the mold. Snap the latch and place the egg in the refrigerator for about ten minutes. You can also color the egg if you immerse it into water with food color on it for a few minutes. Really fun, specially if you have kids in the house.

Our kids love eating eggs in all forms, but love eating car shaped eggs the best. The concept is simple - you put a hot peeled hard boiled egg in the center of the mold, close the lid, and snap shut. You then toss the whole thing into a bowl of cold water, wait about 10 minutes, and then open it up to find a perfectly molded shaped egg. This thing is easy to use, and your kids will eat a shaped egg - it's just that cool.
We have several tips on making the perfect shaped egg:
1. Open up the mold and wet the inside surface just in case your egg decides to stick (though it shouldn't).
2. Put in a hot egg. The shape of the mold will guide you as to how to place the egg. Here the head of the fish is wider in the bottom, so the fat end of the egg goes that way.
3. If you have egg white bits that got squished out at the sides, you can clean the ragged bits up with a sharp knife. If yolk gets squished out - chop up the egg for egg salad.
4. If you want colored eggs that are also molded, you need to add the coloring or dye before molding them. Presuming you are using a liquid type of coloring method (such as dunking the eggs in water with dye in it), if you put the eggs in a water bath after molding, the moisture will cause the eggs to swell back up, losing the molding detail.So, once you have peeled your eggs, instead of dunking them in plain hot water, put them in colored hot water until they have achieved the color you want. Then mold them as per above. The seam will show white, but the form and overall color are there.

Having previously squished eggs into squares before pickeling and then taking them to a potluck, how could I resist entertaining folks with fun fish? The forms are very sturdy and well-made. The instructions that come w/ the product are in Japanese, but previous experience yielded egg-cellent results: Choose medium or large eggs. Hard boil. Keep egg warm while peeling by peeling it under warm running water. Place warm egg into mold; gently compress until mold can be latched closed. Leave in mold about 5 minutes, dunking in warm water to keep the egg warm during the shaping process. Unmold and amaze! The egg will hold it shape very well. Both kids and adults think these are cool and will want to know "How did you DO that!!"

Very cute and fun
Really cute and works as advertised, with the right size egg! Don't squeeze extra larges in or you'll be pinching the excess white out the sides of the mould....
