ANYTIME PLAYS LLC Launches Collectible Blind Boxes – A New Wave of Surprise & Delight!

ANYTIME PLAYS LLC, a Mercer Island, Washington-based company dedicated to bringing fun and engaging collectibles to enthusiasts, is thrilled to announce the launch of its exciting new line of blind box collections! Based at 3630 88th Ave SE, and reachable at 212-966-3684, ANYTIME PLAYS is built on a simple idea: everyone loves a good surprise. We're a small but passionate team obsessed with creating products that spark joy and encourage collecting. For those unfamiliar, blind boxes (or mystery boxes) are the hottest trend in collecting right now, and ANYTIME PLAYS is jumping in with designs that are totally unique and geared towards a wide range of interests. Basically, you buy a sealed box – you have NO idea what’s inside! – and the thrill is in the unboxing. It's like a little present to yourself! What Makes ANYTIME PLAYS Blind Boxes Different? The market is definitely full of blind boxes, we get that. But ANYTIME PLAYS isn’t just throwing random stuff in a box. We're focusing on high-quality designs, really thoughtful themes, and a collector's experience that keeps people coming back for more. "We really wanted to create something special," says a spokesperson for ANYTIME PLAYS. “We noticed a lot of blind boxes out there felt…cheap. We wanted to deliver something that felt good to collect, something people would actually want to display. Quality materials, cool designs, and a really satisfying unboxing experience – that’s what we're aiming for." What's Inside the Boxes? ANYTIME PLAYS is launching with several different series, each with its own unique theme and set of collectible figures. Right now, we're debuting three lines: Cosmic Critters: These are adorable alien creatures, each with a unique personality and space-themed accessory. Think little aliens wearing tiny spacesuits, piloting mini spaceships, or just chilling with a cosmic snack! There are 12 different Cosmic Critters to collect, including a super-rare glow-in-the-dark version. Mystic Meadow: If you’re into cute animals and a bit of magic, this is the series for you! Mystic Meadow features woodland creatures – foxes, rabbits, owls, deer – reimagined as tiny magical beings. They come with miniature enchanted objects like glowing mushrooms, crystal pendants, and little spell books. There are 10 different characters to find, with a chase figure that’s extra sparkly! Retro Robots: For the vintage tech lovers, we have Retro Robots! These little bots are inspired by classic science fiction and toy designs. They're chunky, colorful, and full of personality. Each robot comes with a detachable accessory like a ray gun, a wrench, or a little antenna. There are 8 robots in the series, plus a limited-edition chrome finish chase figure. Why the Blind Box Craze? Why are blind boxes so popular? It's a combination of things. The element of surprise is HUGE. It's fun to anticipate what you might get and the dopamine rush when you finally open the box is addictive. "It taps into that childhood feeling of getting a new toy," explains a collecting enthusiast. "You never quite know what you're going to get, and that's part of the fun. Plus, it encourages community – people trade figures, talk about their hauls, and connect over a shared hobby." ANYTIME PLAYS is actively building a community around its blind boxes. They’re on social media (find them on Instagram and TikTok!), where they share unboxing videos, collector spotlights, and announcements about new releases. They're also planning online trading events and contests to encourage interaction between collectors. The Collector's Experience: More Than Just the Figure ANYTIME PLAYS isn’t just selling figures; they’re selling an experience. The packaging is designed to be visually appealing and collectible in its own right. Each box features unique artwork and a fun, interactive element. Inside, you'll also find a collectible card with information about the character you received. “We wanted to make the unboxing itself a special moment," says the spokesperson. “We’re putting a lot of thought into the details – the tissue paper, the little stickers, the overall presentation – to make it feel like you’re getting a little gift."
