Comic Con Post
We're now two days away from attending our first ever physical appearance — Atom Toys Studios will be participating in Heroes Comic Con Finland!
Since we received the official confirmation that we were going to be exhibitors at Comic Con, it's been all hands on deck to plan and prepare the best experience we can for our visitors. We requested for a space at the Artist Alley, which covers a wide variety of really cool artists across various trades and styles. While the space will be on a first come, first served basis, each area will consist of a table, chairs, wall space and charging spots for us to get comfortable.

Being first-time exhibitors, we did not realise the amount of administrative challenges that goes into planning a nice, spotless and cohesive space to display our collection. We asked around and did our research before narrowing down our equipment needs to: table cloth, signages, business cards, product stocks, grids, S-hooks, blu-tack, scissors, tape, and our trusty iPad.
3 full luggages’ worth of supplies
Now that we've had our base design covered, we needed to figure out how to properly arrange our goods to be easily visible for our visitors. Boxes could keep the pieces safe, but reduce the viewing angles. Tiered racks are useful, but could also take up too much of our precious desk space. We experimented with different display configurations until we finally landed on the final layout.

We also needed to ramp up production to make sure we had enough stocks for our con run. A lot of discussions also went into how we could interact with the audiences, share the inspiration behind our art pieces and introduce new audiences to the world of Art Toys. To help with the inauguration, we worked on a video that shares our production processes and printed a batch of stickers which we will be offering to new visitors and followers.
We don't exactly know what to expect at the venue, but we've done our best to make it a great experience for anyone who's stopping by. Our artist, Nigel Goh will also be present at the event for any fans or visitors interested to learn more about the design inspirations behind our works, or to ask for an autograph.
For those of you attending Comic Con Finland, make sure you stop by and say hi! We would love to finally meet some of you in person!
We're about to head over to the convention venue now.
See you there.
Sincerely,
Team Atom
2024 Resolution…
It's 2024!
6 months flew by since we first started Atom Toys Studios in July 2023.
What started as a fun personal project among a group of artists has grown into a budding studio - all thanks to the support of a warming and loving community. To know that our concept and design connected with people from different parts of the world is truly an amazing and humbling experience, and one that gave us the courage to dream a little bigger.
We spent the end of last year in deep discussions on what we would like to do in 2024. For now, let's just say - we have a lot of work to do this year, but it's a journey we are very excited to take.
Our most immediate plans were to completely produce all 100 pieces of JOY BOY in 'The OG' colourway. While we had originally wanted to produce them in 4 smaller batches, we decided to make all 100 pieces so we can shorten the time it takes for our Collectors to receive their Art Toy.
From now on, JOY BOY 'The OG' will be shipped out within 14 days of your order!
If you have been following us on Instagram, you will also notice that we are actively working on the first of our smaller range of Art Toys: JOY BOY Minis.
This is an important first step for us in making our Art Toys more accessible to our Collectors.
We are planning to release JOY BOY Minis in 3 colours first, so let us know which are your top 3 picks on Instagram!
JOY BOY Minis will be available in the next couple of months, so please look forward to it!
We are also working on some new stuff for the later half of the year, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. More will be revealed in time. 😉
Until then, here's wishing everyone a happy and fruitful 2024!
Sincerely,
Team Atom.
