2021 has been a busy year for Lue, his latest feat is creating innovative and environmentally sustainable toys and collectibles, developed by Zelpha Comics and Collectibles!
The Ultimate Articulated Cardboard Action Cut-Outs series was originally launched as a successful Kickstarter campaign in September 2020 and was designed to help promote independent comic book superheroes. Give great indie characters an opportunity to become toys when the big mass-producing toy companies wouldn’t bother. The toys were handmade out of premium corrugated cardboard, magnet sheets and bamboo rods. A 100% sustainable toy design that can be posed in various ways! The first launch was an instant hit with collectors! More figurines are in the works and will feature more independent superheroes in fall 2021! Some of the original 2020 inaugural editions are listed in this section for purchase.
Coming this late October Luanga Nuwame will launch a youtube Soap opera series starring his Cardboard Action Figures! More Information will come, click here and follow his Instagram @zelphacomicsandcollectibles
We can go beyond making cardboard action figurines based on comics — we can make cardboard action figurines based on YOU…YOUR FAMILY…YOUR FRIENDS! Imagine having a poseable magnetic collectible made on any person or character you want! A action figurine complete with display box and numbered in whatever quantity you desire from 1 to 10 copies.
