I’ve had a lot of folks wondering what sorts of new items to expect for 2025. And, I’ve been hard at work! I thought it would be fun to share a few of my favorite things to look for at the 2025 Miniatures in the Wine Country show in Lodi, CA. I’ll be there in a huge 2-table booth with a unique walk-in experience (hopefully)! If you make it to the show be sure to say “Hi”!
3D Shadow People(!)
These turned out amazing! They work in multiple scales, 1:12 and 1:24 in particular. The kit includes a tiny 3D person on a clear stand and a light kit that projects the shadow of the person up onto your display wall! Light kits will come in several combinations to meet different needs.
The best part of a 3D figurine is you can turn it to get just the right shadow to frighten your mini friends! No flat edges.
The videos below show the effect using a single LED and double LEDs. I am hard pressed to choose my favorite but I do really like the jumping shadows with the double LEDs!! Be sure to watch both videos to see the different effect.
In my display I hide the stand-alone shadow light kit and the 3D figurine behind a sofa so the viewer only sees the shadow! This item is NOT in my store at the moment but I’m hoping to get them into the store soonish.
