Very cool Grim. If you're thinking of mounting them, imbed a bolt into the back while they're still wet. Here are the skull faces I made for my columns in the same way. >>>>>>>>>>>

I know how thin that plastic is you're working with. If you find something that you'd like to make lots of copies of, try making a latex mold of it. Also, the backs of many of these type items don't have as much detail as the fronts, and a latex mold made from the front side will transfer more detail onto your copies. >>>>>

Keep up the awesome work.

did you need a release agent or just pour the plaster in and it came out no problem?

You don't need a release agent for this, the plastic is flexible enough, and the plaster non-binding enough, that they pop out.
