Wicked Brick, a producer of display solutions for collectable items such as LEGO, Funko Pops, Hot Toys, and pin badges, has invested in a Fujifilm Acuity Prime from Soyang Hardware.

The latest investment was made via Soyang Hardware, a supplier of many wide- and superwide-format print solutions from brands such as Fujifilm, Mimaki, Jetrix, and Ricoh.
After attending a demonstration of the Acuity Prime at Fujifilm’s Broadstairs site, the Wicked Brick team was able to witness the machine’s ability to produce premium UV backgrounds, bases, and “intricate” designs on acrylic, which has boosted the way the company produces it products.
Alex Ashley, procurement manager at Wicked Brick, says: “Our customers expect nothing short of excellence, both in quality and turnaround time. With the Acuity Prime, we’ve not only elevated the quality of our products, but we’ve also streamlined our production process too, which has enabled us to deliver exceptional results in record time.”
Commenting on the purchase, Andy Webb, UK wide format sales manager at Fujifilm, says: “We are delighted to have partnered with Wicked Brick as it embarks on its journey with the Acuity Prime.
“This investment not only signifies the firm’s commitment to excellence, but also highlights the transformative power of Fujifilm’s cutting-edge printing technologies in revolutionising the collectibles market. We look forward to supporting Wicked Brick every step of the way as it explores further ways to maximise its creativity and elevate its printing standards.”
