Meet "Bean," a true original from our Founder's Edition Collection. This special collection is a look "behind the scenes" at our creative process, featuring the very first prototypes, artist's proofs, and test pieces that came to life as we were first getting started.
A Note from the Founder, Mark:
"Bean" was one of our very first tests for the sitting Chihuahua model, which eventually became 'Chiquito.' He's got that bright-eyed, alert personality that makes the breed so special, and his small, energetic look just screamed 'Bean.' As a prototype, he's not 'perfect'—but he's loaded with character. He has visible 3D print lines and an early test paint job that our artists used to perfect their process. These "perfect imperfections" are the marks of a true, one-of-a-kind test piece, and they're what make him a unique part of our studio's history.

This model is not one of our final, polished figurines. It is an authentic studio prototype. By purchasing, you are celebrating the art of the process.
You will notice defects: This piece will have visible 3D printing layer lines, potential small blemishes, or other artifacts from our early test runs.
You will see paint variations: The hand-painted finish is an early test, and may not be as refined as our final models.
Please look at all photos: The model shown in the photos (imperfections and all) is the exact, one-of-a-kind piece you will receive.
