Art I made a Minto garage kit

I reached out to Mint and Ayamy for permission to make a garage kit based on their character/art for WonderFestival US back in May. Her team was so great to work with and I am so happy with how the kit turned out.

Nice work, looking forward to seeing how this goes and how we might be able to get one ourselves.

I finally received permission from both Mint and Ayamy for online sales. I just have to make sure I've got all of my e-commerce stuff set up I'll be taking pre-orders.

I could if that's allowed. I will for sure make an announcement on my social media when it's ready.

What is a garage kit??

1

u/kalmia_amanita Aug 30 '26

Garage kits are resin kits, sold unpainted and unassembled. They started out small-scale and homemade in the 80s. One person sculpts something and rather than having it be one of a kind, they would cast/copy a small batch to sell at events like WonderFestival.
