What really excites users are the realistic touches, tiny acrylic bases, toy-style packaging, and detailed 3D previews that make the figurines look like official collectibles.
India Joins the Craze
The trend isn’t just global, it’s catching on fast in India. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma even tried it out after his young followers encouraged him. He later shared his own figurine online, showing just how far the craze has spread.
