Who Is Popinker?

Popinker is a custom art toy development studio for creators, IP owners, and brands. We turn character concepts into collectible products—from vinyl figures and resin statues to plush and blind box—from idea to production.

What We Do

We support the full journey from concept development to prototyping, sampling, and production coordination, helping clients shape original characters into products that are both compelling and manufacturable.

Who We Work With

We work with artists, IP owners, brands, licensors, toy startups, and organizations that want to turn character ideas into products. Our clients also include theme parks, museums, cultural tourism projects, and entertainment companies developing collectibles, merchandise, mascots, and character-based product lines.

Whether the starting point is a finished design, an early sketch, or a broader IP plan, we help shape a path from concept to sample to production.

Why Choose Popinker

Character products can take many forms, and each format has different creative and production requirements. A concept that works well as a plush may need a different structure, finish, or development path to succeed as a resin collectible, blind box figure, vinyl toy, or merchandise item.

Popinker supports that decision-making process across categories, helping clients move from concept development to prototyping, sampling, and production coordination with a broader view of what a character can become.
