Billy Bones Emporium
Welcome to Billy Bones Emporium. This studio was born in the heart of Michigan City, Indiana, and was created in honor of my father, whose influence and commitment to craftsmanship shaped who I am today. The shop is named after him, and every piece that leaves my workbench carries that legacy of care and dedication.
I grew up learning the value of hard work, and I’ve carried that same mindset into my own passions. I am a nerd by nature, a collector at heart, and an artist in practice. My studio is rooted in the simple truth that I love these pieces—I am consistently blown away by the designs from my favorite creators, and I treat every print with the same attention to detail that I would if I were displaying it on my own shelf.
When you order from Billy Bones Emporium, you aren't buying from a faceless warehouse; you are buying from an artist who understands the joy of unboxing a high-resolution print and the satisfaction of seeing a character come to life through paint.
Why the move to our own site?
You may have found us previously on Etsy, but I have decided to transition to this dedicated website to better serve you. Etsy’s evolving policies sometimes constrained the creative freedom and the personalized service I want to provide. By moving to this independent space, I can ensure that every figure, every print, and every customer interaction reflects the high standards of quality and detail that you—and my fellow collectors—expect.
Our Studio Philosophy
- Artistry First: I view these figures as art. I print using high-resolution 14k and 16k technology to ensure every sculpt is crisp, detailed, and ready for your display shelf or your hobby desk.
- Curated for Collectors: While I maintain a specialized, gamer-tested selection of tabletop miniatures, my primary focus is high-end collectible figures. My catalog is a living collection of characters I personally admire and am proud to offer to fellow fans.
- The Painter’s Canvas: Most of our pieces arrive as raw, high-detail resin. They are designed to be a blank canvas for your creativity, and I love seeing how the community brings these figures to life.
My Commitment to You
I run Billy Bones Emporium as a single-man studio alongside my full-time job and my responsibilities as a devoted dog dad. Because I am a collector myself, I know the frustration of waiting weeks—sometimes months—for a figure to arrive.
My goal is different: I strive to provide high-quality prints with realistic, quick turnaround times. While some studios take 20+ days to ship, I aim to get your figures out in just a few days. While unforeseen delays can occasionally happen, I am committed to open communication and getting your pieces to your shelf as fast as possible without sacrificing quality.
The "Shelf-Ready" Guarantee
Every single print that leaves my workbench is one I would be proud to display on my own shelf.
- Meticulous Care: I clean and inspect every figure with an eye for detail. If a piece isn't primed or painted when it leaves the studio, it will arrive to you in careful, secure pieces. This ensures the best protection during transit, so your model arrives in perfect condition.
- Secure Packing: Whether your figure is raw, primed, or fully painted, I pack every order with extreme care to prevent breakage. My goal is to ensure that when you open your box, you are ready to display or paint your new figure immediately—not spend time repairing it.
