Kaleidos Creative to debut first wave of products at DesignerCon next month

Kaleidos Creative Designer Toys & Collectibles – a new company founded by Pixar and Funko alumni Benjamin Butcher – will debut its first ranges at DesignerCon next month.

Butcher was Creative Director of Consumer Products at Pixar and most recently served as SVP of Creative at Funko.

Kaleidos Creative is made up of nine industry veterans and is focused on ‘invigorating the collectibles industry’.

“Our primary goal with Kaleidos Creative is to bring people together to enjoy something genuine,” said CEO and Founder Benjamin Butcher.

“Every aspect of why this company exists starts and ends with people. We’re all inspired to create original stories and characters that everyone can relate to, and designing collectibles is the natural way for us to share them with you.

“We are driven by authenticity, innovation and integrity, and we know this is why people will connect with something new.”

Kaleidos Creative’s first ranges will debut at DesignerCon in Las Vegas from November 15th to 17th, before landing on the shelves at Hot Topic on November 18th. The range will also be available at BoxLunch from January.
