Looking back at the designs that defined 2025, these are the collectibles that generated the most excitement, the highest sales, and the strongest collector response throughout the year.
Best Articulated Design
The articulated crystal dragon by Cinderwing3D dominated sales charts for months after its release. Complex wing articulation, detailed scale texturing, and a pose-anywhere tail made this piece the benchmark for print-in-place engineering. Available in standard, silk, and glow-in-the-dark finishes, it appealed to every collector segment.
Best Seasonal Design
The Halloween Ghost Trio — three ghosts of increasing size with glow-in-the-dark material and different facial expressions — was our October bestseller by a wide margin. Simple, charming, and perfectly seasonal, this design proved that sometimes the most straightforward concepts resonate the strongest with buyers.
Best Artist Collaboration
The McGybeer x 3DCentral exclusive gnome series brought unprecedented personality to the gnome category. Five gnomes with exaggerated expressions and humorous poses — the thinker, the dancer, the napper, the snacker, and the dreamer — became an instant must-have collection for gnome enthusiasts.
Best New Category
Articulated ocean creatures — octopus, seahorse, jellyfish, and sea turtle — opened an entirely new collecting category. The flowing tentacles and fins demonstrated that articulated design goes far beyond land animals and fantasy creatures. The jellyfish in transparent PLA was particularly stunning.
Most Requested Reprint
The spring cherry blossom gnome sold out within a week of its initial release and generated more reprint requests than any other design in our history. The delicate pink and white color scheme and the gnome pose of peaceful contemplation under a blossoming branch struck an emotional chord that we did not fully anticipate.
