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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kate-norkeliunas) 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.
