In a lane in the Pali Hill neighbourhood, a door opens to the Marvel and DC-verse daily. Here, heroes are made every day, quite literally. Wonder By House of 3D, created with the aim to provide a space for the growing comics and anime communities of the city, primarily caters to those who like collecting figurines of their favourite superheroes, movie characters, and now, of themselves.
With 13 printers installed in the space, founders Delvin Lobo and Aditya Anand integrate AI to make 3D models of characters and elements from popular culture. The duo is licensed to release such models for Stranger Things, The Archies, DC, Marvel, Naruto, and Squid games among others. The aim, they say, is to make Indian collectors independent of exported products that are also usually overpriced.
