LEBLOX Selects FabZat as Their Provider of 3D Printed Figures for "Pixels" Movie
FabZat, pioneer and market leader of in-app merchandising and 3D
printing, today announced its partnership with mobile pixel art app
LEBLOX. LEBLOX is teaming up with Sony Pictures Entertainment's popular
action comedy Pixels, which launched recently in theaters.
Through this partnership, FabZat will provide the platform for ordering,
printing and shipping of all 3D printed merchandise for the application,
including content from the Pixels movie. To date, FabZat has
already printed and delivered thousands of unique 3D printed figures for
LEBLOX customers. Starting today, worldwide fans can now create,
customize and receive 3D figures in classic 8-bit art style-based
characters and objects in the hit Pixels franchise through the
LEBLOX app to keep and share with friends.
Since launching a partnership in 2013, FabZat has already printed and
delivered thousands of unique 3D printed figures for LEBLOX customers.
The average order size of a LEBLOX customer is about 2 items at $16 per
order, and this metric has continued to increase over the past year due
to a growth and interest in custom-designed, 3D printed items.
Additionally, LEBLOX's biggest market growth over the past year has been
in the United States, France and Germany among customers from all ages.
Mathieu Lecoupeur, LEBLOX co-founder said: "We've been working with
FabZat for years to enable our users to custom design and print
thousands of 3D printed objects, which also provides us with a recurring
revenue stream. Our users love being able to create truly unique 3D
collectibles that they can keep forever. When we first started
discussing this initiative, we knew that FabZat would be a perfect fit
for delivering high-quality, custom 3D printing to Pixels fans."
Florent Pitoun, FabZat CEO and co-founder, said: "We recently secured an
investment round to further boost our growth in the US and Europe, so
we're really setup for successto meet the demands of this growing
market, and particularly with our LEBLOX partnership for widespread Pixels
movie fans."
Through a state-of-the-art shop plugin for iOS, Android (News - Alert), and Unity, as
well as Facebook, Web and PC gaming support, FabZat enables developers
to monetize their games through in-app merchandising as well as 3D
printing. Since initially launching in 2013, the company has already
delivered over 15,000 objects for games across more than 70 countries
worldwide. Fans and celebrities alike - from Serena Williams to Peter
Dinklage and Alicia Keys - already have their own custom 3D printed
"Blox" figurine. Today's announcement with LEBLOX for the widely popular Pixels
movie will further increase the volume and reach of FabZat's 3D
printed merchandise to customers worldwide.
In Pixels, when intergalactic aliens misinterpret video-feeds of
classic arcade games as a declaration of war against them, they attack
the Earth, using the games as models for their various assaults.
President Will Cooper (Kevin James) has to call on his childhood best
friend, '80s video game champion Sam Brenner (Adam Sandler), to lead a
team of old-school arcaders (Peter Dinklage and Josh Gad) to defeat the
aliens and save the planet. Joining them is Lt. Col. Violet Van Patten
(Michelle Monaghan), a specialist supplying the arcaders with unique
weapons to fight the aliens.
