A counterfeit-resistant toy housing is provided having a repetitive pattern formed into at least a portion of at least one toy housing surface. The pattern preferably includes first and second regions intertwined with and visibly different from each other. The first region may have a different elevation than the second region, or a different finish, or both. A photoetching chemical is applied to at least a portion of a metal mold, and at least a part of the mold is covered with a cover having a light-transmissible first region and an opaque second region, the first and second regions forming a first design. Light is projected upon the covered metal mold, thereby eroding a section of the mold underneath the first region and forming a first design in the mold. The photoetching steps are repeated to provide different layers. The toy housing component is molded from the patterned mold.
