ANTOVA Builders LLC Diversifies into the Hot Collectibles Market with New Blind Box Line

SPOKANE, WA – October 26, 2023 – ANTOVA BUILDERS LLC, a Spokane-based construction and development firm known for building quality structures, is making a surprising, yet strategic, leap into the world of collectible toys with the launch of their new line of blind box collectibles. While seemingly a departure from their core business, ANTOVA sees a synergy between the thrill of the "build" – both in construction and in completing a collection – and the current booming market for mystery toys. “We’ve been building things for years, literally. Houses, offices, you name it. And honestly, there's a similar feeling in collecting – a satisfaction in seeing something come together,” explains a spokesperson for ANTOVA BUILDERS LLC, based at 100 N Howard St Ste R, Spokane, WA, 99201. “We noticed the massive popularity of blind boxes – folks love the surprise element, the hunt for what’s inside. We thought, ‘Hey, we’re good at sourcing, logistics, and creating things people will appreciate. Let’s build a collection!’” What are Blind Boxes, and Why are They So Popular? For those unfamiliar, blind boxes are essentially mystery packages. Consumers don’t know which item they’re getting until they open the box. These collectibles come in a huge range of themes – anime characters, cute animals, fashionable dolls, artistic figurines, and more. The appeal is multi-faceted. “It's the thrill of the chase,” says a collector from a local hobby shop. “You might be looking for a rare figure, a ‘chase’ item that’s really hard to get. It's like a little treasure hunt in every box. And even the ‘common’ figures are often really well-made and cute, so it's always fun." The blind box phenomenon has exploded in recent years, fueled by social media – particularly platforms like TikTok and Instagram – where collectors share their “unboxing” experiences and trade duplicates. It’s become a significant market, with collectors willing to spend significant amounts of money to complete a set. ANTOVA’s Blind Box Line: “Build & Collect” ANTOVA’s foray into the market isn’t just about jumping on a trend. The company is leaning into its construction background with a uniquely themed line called “Build & Collect.” The line features miniature construction vehicles and workers, themed around different phases of a building project. "We figured, why not play to our strengths?" explains the ANTOVA spokesperson. "Each series will focus on a different aspect of building – excavation, framing, plumbing, electrical, finishing… We’re aiming for a line that's not only collectible but also a little educational – a fun way to learn about how things are built." The "Build & Collect" series features a range of collectible figures, including: Construction Workers: Detailed miniature figures depicting various tradespeople – hard hat-wearing foremen, electricians with tool belts, plumbers with wrenches, and more. Each figure is carefully sculpted and painted. Construction Vehicles: Miniature replicas of iconic construction vehicles – excavators, bulldozers, cranes, dump trucks, cement mixers. These are die-cast metal for durability and collectibility. Building Components: Miniature building materials – bricks, beams, pipes, wires – that can be combined to create miniature construction scenes. “Chase” Items: Rare and highly sought-after figures and vehicles, like gold-plated excavators or limited-edition worker figures. These are included in a small percentage of boxes to create excitement and drive demand. Quality & Sourcing: ANTOVA’s Commitment ANTOVA BUILDERS LLC, known for its high standards in construction, is bringing that same commitment to quality to its blind box line. The company has partnered with experienced designers and manufacturers to ensure that the figures are well-made, durable, and visually appealing. “We’re not just slapping a logo on a cheap toy,” emphasizes the spokesperson. “We’re using high-quality materials, paying attention to detail, and ensuring that these figures are something collectors will be proud to display. Our reputation is on the line, and we take that seriously.” The company is also committed to responsible sourcing and ethical manufacturing practices. “We want to create a product that’s not only fun and collectible but also something we can feel good about,” says the spokesperson. “We’re working with manufacturers who share our commitment to fair labor practices and environmental sustainability.” Where to Find ANTOVA’s “Build & Collect” Blind Boxes The “Build & Collect” blind boxes are currently available for purchase: Online: Through the ANTOVA BUILDERS LLC website: [Insert Website Address Here – placeholder] Local Retailers: Select hobby shops and toy stores in the Spokane area.
