For years, we traveled to local conventions selling action figures and other collectibles. Along the way, we started selling minifigures along with everything else. Our booth was typically a 10 foot by 10 foot space, which we packed with 3-5 sets of shelves and a table or two. Our minifigure offering started as a shoebox size plastic bin sitting on a table corner that folks could stop and pick through. By the end of that year, we realized that a considerable amount of time was spent by customers digging through the minifigs, so we ramped up inventory and it spilled over into 3 of the shoebox sized containers. Another year passed and we continued to buy more and more figures, eventually growing to 6 of the plastic bins. It was about this time that I started to worry that the variety we were offering wasn’t getting fully recognized due to space. A tabletop spinner rack that displayed 100 different figures was introduced. That convention minifigure sales made up over half of our total income. Tiring of lugging around 2 vehicles worth of shelving and bins full of items that were not selling, we decided to focus on a minifigure only setup.
Just before COVID sent the country into lockdown in 2020, we made the decision to focus solely on the minifigures and forego the rest of the action figures, Lego sets, Geeki Tikis and other assorted collectibles that we had been peddling.
We took a test batch of approximately 200 displays (not unique) with us to a small show in March 2020 and the rest, as they say, is history.
Now our selection has grown to over 1000 unique displays featuring beloved characters from all manner of media from movies to television and cartoons to anime. We even have historical figures and other icons, including musical artists and sports figures.
Many of the displays we produce feature figures that aren’t available anywhere else and are completely custom creations of Mike’s Minifgs LLC.
If you don’t find a character you’re looking for, drop us a message at sales@mikesminifigs.com and we will see if there is anything we can do to accommodate your request.
