The other day, my mind wandered toward miniature toys when thinking about what I'm going to write about next.
More specifically: what would boys/girls/teenagers or adults like when they are not into dollhouses or dolls? Because, let's just be honest, although this site is about dollhouses, there are plenty of other miniature-related things out there that are also quite fun to do.
But a little bit more targeted at children and teenagers (yeah, yeah, also older haha).
And I would like to show these toys to you because I find some of these intriguing, pretty or just interesting.
So let's dive deeper into things and find out which toys just popped in my mind while brainstorming!

First miniature toys: 3D Miniature Puzzles.
I remember that back in the days, like 30 years ago, 3D puzzles already existed, in the form of planets and a few buildings. But back then, these weren't all too good quality. Trust me, I tried them, look at my "planetarium" 🙂
The choice in 3D miniature puzzles today, however, is basically endless ànd they have superb quality.
When doing my research, I noticed that in the meantime, it has become a total "niche" in itself, with tons of different toys online.
They can be made from wood (which I prefer), metal, plastic, or from paper and cardboard (like ordinary puzzles).
Again, all these different miniature toys and brands are so expanded, that I would rather keep to a few on this list of the ones that look great to me (or I could make a separate website, but let's not go there haha):
1. Cubicfun
Cubicfun - Toys Industrial Co, Ltd sells different series of 3D puzzles, 4 of them:
- The Citylines Series: with little 3D miniature buildings and cities like Paris (The Louvre), The Tower Bridge in Londen, and even the Mississippi Steam Ship, etc.
- The Mc Series: it seems like these are more the bigger miniature buildings, like The Notre Dame de Paris.
- The C Series: these are more about little monuments, like this Galata tower from Istanbul.
- And finally: lots of these have LED lights, like this 3D puzzle tower.
