Cool Figureans is an innovative platform where creativity meets community. Users can design figurines, upload their creations, and allow the community to vote for their favorites. The winning designs are turned into 3D-printed figurines available for purchase, with creators earning a share of the profits. By combining the power of fandom, creativity, and collaborative voting, Cool Figureans introduces a fresh approach to figurine collecting while empowering designers and engaging audiences of all ages.
The business addresses the challenge of leveraging online fandom to support and showcase creative design ideas while providing a platform for emerging design talent. It matters because it fosters creativity, community engagement, and introduces unique figurine designs to the market, which otherwise might never reach a broader audience.
For kids, families, and figurine enthusiasts who want to engage creatively and celebrate unique designs, the Cool Figureans platform is a community-driven figurine design and voting platform that transforms the most popular user-generated designs into 3D-printed characters available for purchase. Unlike traditional figurine markets that rely on mass production and established brands, our platform empowers independent designers, fosters creativity, and rewards talent through profit-sharing.
Our mission is to spark creativity, celebrate unique design talent, and foster community-driven collaboration by turning the coolest figurine ideas into reality while supporting designers with a share of the profits.

Current platforms in the figurine market, such as Shapeways, Hero Forge, and Etsy, lack a strong community-driven approach that combines creativity, collaboration, and profit-sharing. Shapeways focuses on a wide range of 3D-printed items but misses the opportunity to engage users through voting or community participation. Hero Forge specializes in customizable miniatures but caters primarily to tabletop gaming enthusiasts, leaving a gap in broader figurine collecting audiences. Etsy, while offering a marketplace for unique creations, does not provide design tools, community voting, or direct profit-sharing models for creators. Cool Figureans fills this void by introducing a platform that empowers designers, fosters collaboration, and connects enthusiasts through unique, user-generated figurine designs.
