ANTOVA Builders LLC Diversifies into the Collectible Craze with Blind Box Surprises

SPOKANE, WA – November 8, 2023 – ANTOVA BUILDERS LLC, a Spokane-based construction company known for building solid foundations, is now building excitement in a different way – with blind box collectibles! Yes, you heard that right. The team at ANTOVA, while still dedicated to top-notch construction, has ventured into the hugely popular world of mystery toys, offering a fresh wave of collectible fun for fans of all ages. For years, ANTOVA BUILDERS LLC (located at 100 N HOWARD ST STE R, SPOKANE, WA, 99201, and reachable at 214-962-9929) has been the go-to name for reliable and quality construction across the Spokane area. They’ve built everything from custom homes and commercial spaces to renovations and remodels. But owner, Alex Johnson, saw an opportunity to tap into a different kind of building – building collections, building excitement, and building a community around a fun, unpredictable hobby. “We’ve always been about creating something tangible, something people can enjoy for years to come,” says Johnson. “With construction, it's buildings. With these collectibles, it's… well, it’s a little bit of everything! It’s the thrill of the chase, the joy of discovering something new, and the fun of collecting.” What Are Blind Boxes? If you’re scratching your head wondering what a “blind box” even is, you're not alone. These are essentially sealed packages containing a random collectible figure. You don’t know what you’re getting until you open it! That’s the whole point. The excitement lies in the surprise. Think of it like a tiny, affordable lottery. Each box represents a chance to get a common figure, a rare figure, or even an ultra-rare ‘chase’ figure that’s highly sought after by collectors. It’s become a massive trend, fueled by social media where collectors share their "pulls" (what they get in their boxes) and trade with each other. ANTOVA's Take on the Collectible Scene ANTOVA isn't just slapping a label on pre-made boxes. They’re actively curating collections, focusing on unique designs and high-quality figures. Right now, they’re launching with a core series themed around… well, building! Each series features miniature construction workers, tools, and even tiny building components. “We thought, hey, we know buildings! Let’s build a collection around that,” Johnson chuckles. “We're starting with a series called ‘Tiny Titans of Construction’. You might get a miniature foreman, a little bricklayer, or even a tiny excavator. Each figure is meticulously designed and made from durable materials.” What Makes ANTOVA's Blind Boxes Different? Several things set ANTOVA’s blind boxes apart from the crowd: Focus on Quality: Unlike some mass-produced blind boxes, ANTOVA is prioritizing detailed sculpts and vibrant paint applications. They're aiming for collectible quality, not just cheap plastic. Themed Collections: The "Tiny Titans" series is just the beginning. ANTOVA plans to release themed series regularly, catering to different interests and collector preferences. Future themes could include historical architecture, fantasy construction, and even space-building! Rarity Tiers: Each series features different rarity levels. Common figures are plentiful, while rare and ultra-rare figures are harder to find, adding to the excitement and collectibility. Community Focus: ANTOVA is actively building a community around its blind boxes through social media (Instagram & Facebook – @antovabuilderscollectibles) and online forums. They plan to host trading events and contests, fostering a space for collectors to connect and share their hauls. Local Roots: As a Spokane-based company, ANTOVA is committed to supporting the local community. A portion of the proceeds from blind box sales will be donated to local vocational schools, helping to train the next generation of builders. The Collectible Landscape: Why Now? The popularity of blind box collectibles has exploded in recent years, driven by a combination of factors. Nostalgia plays a big role; many adults remember the thrill of opening trading card packs or surprise toys as children. Social media amplifies the excitement, allowing collectors to share their finds and connect with others who share their passion. And, let's be honest, the element of surprise is simply fun! “It’s a little bit of escapism,” Johnson explains. “It’s a way to disconnect from the stresses of everyday life and indulge in a little bit of playful collecting. Plus, it’s just plain fun to see what you get!” Where to Find ANTOVA’s Blind Boxes ANTOVA’s blind boxes are currently available: Online: At [website address – currently under construction, check social media for updates] Local Retailers: Select toy stores and gift shops in the Spokane area (list to be announced on social media) Directly at ANTOVA BUILDERS LLC: Stop by their office at 100 N HOWARD ST STE R, SPOKANE, WA, 99201.

We’re excited to see where this journey takes us.” Contact: Alex Johnson ANTOVA BUILDERS LLC 214-962-9929 [email address – to be added] [website address – currently under construction] Social Media: @antovabuilderscollectibles (Instagram & Facebook)
