Dreams of Pop

Dreams of Pop, a 3D printing artist, has cultivated a dedicated following since launching their Patreon in March 2015. Initially a Warhammer 40k modeler and painter, their foray into the world of custom Funko POP! figures began with a girlfriend's encouragement to enter a local customization contest. This unexpected pivot led to the creation of a unique niche within the 3D printing and custom figure community. Currently boasting over 85 members, with a core group of 2 paid patrons, Dreams of Pop demonstrates a consistent, if modest, income stream, suggesting steady engagement and a loyal, if small, audience. Their work showcases a blend of traditional miniature painting skills and cutting-edge 3D printing techniques, resulting in highly personalized and original Funko POP! figures. While their financial success is still developing, their substantial member base indicates a significant impact within their community and growing potential for future growth. Their journey illustrates the transformative power of creative passion and the unexpected paths it can lead to.
