It is inspiring to see a humble person start a business and never forget there are others who were like him. He treats those well with his business practices. Never forget your humble beginnings!
Taunting me with all the Okeh Vomit Kid figures I didn't get because I was too late. RIP my heart.
I'm in love with the designs
Very inspiring, as a 3D artist myself I would love to see my characters on someones shelf :)

Thank you So much for Putting this out in English!
We're doing the same thing, the difference is we produce vinyl toys in the factory for overseas customers, starting from the client's design, to the prototype, then to the mass production, packaging, and shipping

True and profound love can often be found in the simplest of moments. Interpersonal relationships are all about heart to heart interactions. However, once separated, our hearts will become estranged.
the best job ever i could ever dream of. congrats bro Mighty Jaxx!

hmmm, they make the toys with 3d printing? or they use more complex machines ?
Just imagine world war 2 veterans buying toys in their 40s . This is a sign that everyone just never grew up. And no one cares as long as they make money. This is a quite literal sign that the empire has fallen

3D printed objects require finishing and painting. That can involve a lot of labor. You can find some videos about 3D Printing compared with Resin Casting.

Mighty Jazz is literally the worst company in the vinyl art toy scene. Can’t meet a deadline for their life, and give a platform to plagiarists like Jason Freeny. Would never give them a single dollar, they’re vultures just trying to profit off the art toy scene.
