Pokémon Collaboration Proposal
Who Are We Anyways?
Radium Minis is lead by husband and wife team Owen and Kara Harrison.
Owen designs primarily 3D printable terrain and environments to make tabletop games more fun and immersive. Kara is a great lover of Pokémon, and as her physical collection of favourites has grown, the pair started discussing ways to display special pieces.
Kara had an idea and sketched several designs and Owen 3D modelled a series of modular display shelves inspired by Pokémon environments. They used Funko Pops as their base, setting up each display so that it could display 1-2 figures.

Now, Radium is looking for a partner to help create and share these displays.
Our ideal partner would be someone who:
- Is a Pokémon enthusiast
- Loves to build and create things
- Would enjoy collaborating on the look and feel of each environment
- Could benefit from a product to sell to their existing audience
Whether you've sold products before, or you're wanting to diversify your income for the first time, selling your own original product is a great way to maximize your audience's interest in supporting you. Plus it's so much fun!
Prototypes:
These are examples. We would be happy to work with you using these ideas, your ideas, or a combination of both. We're not just looking to hand you a product, we want to co-create something original with you. Whether that's designing environments around your favourite Pokémon or dreaming up something completely unexpected the goal is to build a product your audience will feel excited to support, because it's yours. How about a fire hall for your Blastoise to run or an ice cream shop for your Oshawatt to serve? The sky is the limit and together we can create something amazing.

Why create an original product?
You have an audience. Your people love your videos and want to support you, but there may not currently be a clear way for them to do that. Ads and sponsorships are nice, but an original product, one that you helped to create just for them, is what audiences respond best to. Original products don't just support a channel, they become part of the community around it.
Why collaborate with us?
We've seen firsthand how powerful a 3 part team can be. By using our designer and administration team (that's us), and a marketer (that's you!), we develop a simple collaborative setup that lets everyone focus on what they do best.
The Receipts
When Owen officially joined the Eons of Battle team at the beginning of 2023, they had 136,000 YouTube subscribers and a Patreon that generated a few thousand dollars a month from people supporting the channel. Owen proposed the idea of adding an original monthly product to the Patreon, and within a few months their Patrons had doubled. Now, their YouTube channel is over 300,000 subscribers, they sell their product and subscriptions through their own website, and their terrain produces an extra $12,000+ per month for the team.

Why 3D printing?
Selling STL files is simple and scaleable. Whether you have 100 sales, 1,000 sales, or 100,000 sales - there's no additional work. Nothing to store or ship. The product arrives instantly to customers around the world with no duties or tariffs.
It's a growing industry. 3D printers are more accessible than ever and anyone can buy and maintain one in their home for less than the cost of a Switch.
Plus, physical product can still be added to a Kickstarter or Patreon at a premium level.
What's next?
If you're as stoked about this idea as we are, we'd love to jump on a no pressure video call and get to know each other. We will discuss how we can bring this dream into reality by exploring how to incorporate an original product to your business, customize the rollout (monthly or a big launch?), and decide on the best marketing plans.
