Frequently asked questions
What exactly are Miniverse toys?
They’re a super fun line of miniature, DIY (Do-It-Yourself) replica food and household items! Think tiny, incredibly detailed versions of pizzas, smoothies, succulents, or even washing machines, that you get to assemble and “make” yourself using resin. It’s like a craft project in a surprise ball!
How do you "play" with Miniverse toys?
Each Miniverse capsule is a surprise! Inside, you’ll find tiny “ingredients” (usually resin-based liquids or solid pieces), mini accessories (like tiny plates, cups, or tools), and a crafting guide. You follow the guide to assemble your mini item, then you use UV light (from the sun or a special lamp) to harden the resin, making your creation permanent and ready for display.
What kind of items can you make?
Oh, the variety is huge! There are different “series” like Miniverse Food (realistic miniature dishes, desserts, drinks), Miniverse Lifestyle (tiny plants, aquariums, detergents), and sometimes special holiday editions. You could make a mini avocado toast, a tiny terrarium, a slice of cherry pie, or even a mini cactus!
Are they actual food you can eat?
Absolutely NOT! This is really important: Miniverse items are NOT edible. They are made from resin and other craft materials. While they look incredibly realistic and delicious, they are for display and crafting purposes only. Keep them away from mouths!
Do I need special equipment to make them?
The main “special” thing you need is a UV light source to cure (harden) the resin. Many crafters use a small UV nail lamp, but direct sunlight also works! Just place your finished creation in a sunny spot for 5-15 minutes (depending on the intensity of the sun) until the resin is hard. Some capsules might include a small UV flashlight.
How long does it take to make one?
Making the item itself usually takes only about 5-15 minutes, depending on the complexity of the recipe. The curing time with UV light can range from a few minutes under a strong lamp to 15-30 minutes (or longer on cloudy days) in sunlight. So, you can have a finished mini in less than an hour!
Can I collect them? Are there rare ones?
Yes, collecting is a huge part of the fun! Each series has a checklist, and there are often “rare” or “ultra-rare” minis to discover. Some capsules even contain unique iridescent or sparkly versions. The surprise element of opening a new capsule and seeing what you get is a big draw for collectors.
Why are they so popular?
Miniverse combines several popular hobbies into one: the thrill of a surprise unboxing, the satisfaction of a DIY craft project, and the joy of collecting adorable miniatures. They’re creative, engaging, and result in a super cute, displayable item – making them a hit with both kids and adult crafters alike!
