Melting Popsicle
Melting Popsicle Studio is our print studio! My family recently relocated from Ukraine to Chicago, which has allowed me to focus on crafting very high-quality, pad printed figurines for those who love pad printing. After years working in the toy design industry, creating these figurines has been a refreshing shift into something more personal, experimental, and genuinely fun, giving us the freedom to explore ideas more openly while reconnecting with the hands-on side of making that we love.
We create limited-run pad printed figurines with a focus on quality, intentional design, and collectible value. Every release is produced in small batches using existing parts and careful printing techniques. Nothing is mass produced or sitting on a shelf beforehand — each release only exists because collectors choose to support it.
FAQ
What is pad printing?
Pad printing is a precision printing process that transfers ink onto three-dimensional surfaces with extremely high detail and accuracy.
Are these official LEGO products?
No. Melting Popsicle is an independent studio that uses LEGO parts in its products, but is not affiliated with or endorsed by The LEGO Group.
How limited are releases?
Very limited. Once sold out, it will not be reproduced in the same form again.
What is the shipping schedule?
Once products are complete, the orders ship out within 5 days.
How often do you release new products?
There’s no set schedule. We release new work whenever it’s ready.
Do you offer refunds or cancellations?
Because each product is specially made for you and produced in-house after your order is placed, we’re unable to offer refunds or cancellations once an order is confirmed. We prioritize moving straight into production so your figure is printed and shipped as efficiently as possible, while keeping our focus on quality and care in every release.
Where’d the name Melting Popsicle come from?
Are popsicles meant to be frozen? Most would say yes, but we like to challenge the narrative and what high-end design is. So it is a metaphor, and now you're part of the club.
