When a giveaway becomes a collectible
Custom toys, figures and series that people line up for, and come back for next year.
- Characters and figures get kept, displayed and shared.
- Series and limited runs give people a reason to return.
- Custom molds need the most lead time, so start early.
Why collectibles work
People don't throw away something that feels like it belongs on a shelf. Figures, plush and custom toys get displayed, photographed and talked about, which is exactly what a booth giveaway is for.
Ideas that turn into keepsakes
- Custom figures: like the LEGO-compatible minifigures we made of Ono Academic College's students.
- A mascot in object form: a rubber duck in a lab coat for a science-focused booth.
- Plush: a soft version of your character or logo.
Make it a series
A numbered series, a new color each year or a limited edition for one show gives people a reason to come back to your booth. "Series 01" invites "Series 02".
Design for the shelf
Collectibles live or die on design. Give your piece a clear personality, keep branding subtle and think about how it will look in a photo.
Plan for the lead time
Custom molds and figures are the most involved products we make, so they sit at the longer end of the 2–6 month window. See how far ahead to order.
