What we make · four disciplines

Four crafts, each built to last.

Every piece starts as a digital file, comes off the printer layer by layer and is finished by hand, from display busts to wearable armor.

About HC Heirloom

For the love of things worth keeping.

HC Heirloom Collectibles makes 3D-printed pop-culture sculptures, dioramas and busts, plus cosplay helmets, armor and props. Founded by Patrick Frank, the workshop runs on a simple idea: affordable collectibles worthy of passing down.

We love the dark, the strange and the scary, and every build is a chance to bring a creature, a relic or a suit of armor from the screen into your hands.
