Customizable Vinyl Toys

Makeship Launches New Vinyl Figures Collection for Content Creators

— October 14, 2022 — Marketing
Creator-focused crowdfunding platform Makeship has announced the launch of an all-new toy collection called Vinyl Figures, which consists of nine of the brand's international content creators.

By adding this item to its offering, Makeship is advancing its goal of assisting creators by enabling them to not just interact with their followers in a meaningful way but also monetize their enthusiasm. In addition, the company is offering creators from all genres the opportunity to make their very own tiny versions of their online identities or characters.

“When you’re a smaller creator, you don’t get attention from large corporations and often can’t risk creating a custom product yourself. Makeship gives small-to-medium-sized creators this power, and we encourage them to be authentic. We’re proud to continue on our mission by adding Vinyl Figures to the mix," said Rakan Al-Shawaf, CEO and Co-Founder of Makeship.
