This is The Shelf Life.
We make toys and dioramas for 1:12 and 1:18 action figures.
Use the menu tabs to jump to different categories of our products.
My daughter and I are using the CAD and 3D printing skills we have accumulated on our Robotics team to draw and manufacture dioramas for action figures. We started doing this in 2023, and we make about 2 new sets each month.
Our toys are modular. Each set is made up of a number of 3D printed pieces that are connected with pins from construction toys, which are widely available. The modular nature of our sets means three things:
1) you don't need glue to put our sets together.
2) you can reconfigure the sets any time you like.
3) you can easily break the sets down when you need to store them.
Emily and I can't possibly meet all of the demand for our sets by ourselves, so we have started working with a group of subscribers that have access to all of our files and have our permission to be selling printed sets in different Regions. Here is a list of who is available to make sets for you.

If you are interested in printing our sets on your own, you can download our files from our Etsy page (link below). All of our sets sell for $25 or less. You can still use the resources on this site (the supply lists, reference photos, image downloads) to help you build the sets.

If you would like to purchase a pre-made set from us, you can fill out this google form to get into the queue. You have to pay with Paypal G&S. In the form, you tell us what set you want and then we will send you an invoice through PayPal. We ask for half of the funds up front to cover the cost of the supplies and hold your spot in the queue. We ask for the other half of the funds when we are ready to ship. When we ship, you will get tracking information from us. At that time, we will ask you to pay for the cost of the shipping. We do not up-charge anyone on shipping. You pay us back exactly what the USPS charges us to ship your stuff.
