Our journey into 1/6 scale collecting began in 2009 with a birthday gift: the Hot Toys DX02 Batman. It was a present for my brother, whose favorite hero has always been the Dark Knight. That figure sparked something bigger than either of us expected.
We joined the collector forums that same year — back when Sideshow Freaks was the hub of the hobby — and what started as collecting quickly turned into creating. In 2012, we began offering custom clothing to fellow collectors, learning firsthand what makes a figure truly come alive.
By 2015, we launched One Sixth Outfitters, our online storefront. What was once just a username became a curated shop built on relationships, trust, and attention to detail. Those early years shaped how we run the business today — especially when it comes to choosing high-quality products and offering thoughtful feedback to the makers behind them. Nothing official, just the kind of conversations that happen when you’ve been around long enough and care enough to offer input. We’re proud to see the hobby evolve, and it’s been rewarding to see quality that used to feel “custom-only” become more accessible to more collectors.
Today, we remain a small, family-run business proudly based in the U.S. Every part of the business — from product selection and importing to packing and shipping — is handled in-house. It’s a labor of love, fueled by our growing families.
As collectors, as parents, and as lifelong fans of the craft, we care deeply about what we do — not just because it’s our work, but because it’s something we hope to pass down. You may see tiny hands helping pack orders one day. Right now, they’re just learning to walk.
What started with a single figure has grown into something much more. We’re grateful to be on this path with you.
Thanks for being part of the story.
