What is UNICUS? 
The Ultimate Guide to Your Mini U Custom 3D Brick Figure

If you’ve ever searched for a personalized gift, you’ve probably noticed a pattern: printed photos, names on mugs, faces on t-shirts. They’re fine — but they rarely feel special for long.

 

UNICUS started from a simple question:
What if a memory could exist as something you can actually build, hold, and keep?

Why People Choose Mini U as a Personalized Gift (Especially in 2026)

Most personalized gifts today are fast to make, but also easy to forget. Mini U appeals to people who want something that feels more intentional.

 

Brick Figures, Not Pre-Set Minifigures

 

Standard minifigures rely on fixed molds and limited facial options. Mini U figures are designed from scratch based on your photo — hairstyle, outfit structure, proportions, and accessories are all considered during the design stage.

The goal isn’t perfection. It’s recognition — that moment when someone says, “That actually looks like me.”

 

Built with Durable ABS Bricks

 

Mini U figures are made using high-quality ABS bricks with a solid structure and long-term durability. They’re designed to be displayed on desks, shelves, or cabinets — and to still look good years later.

 

This makes them especially popular as:

 

1. Anniversary or wedding gifts

2. Family or couple keepsakes

3. Meaningful desk decor instead of disposable gifts

From Photo to Brick Figure: How the Customization Actually Works

The customization process is intentionally straightforward — no design skills required.

01

Image Upload

A clear, front-facing photo works best. This gives designers enough detail to understand facial structure, hair, and clothing.

02

Design & Blueprinting

Each Mini U starts as a digital brick blueprint. Designers balance likeness with structural stability, making sure the figure can actually stand and last.

03

Color & Brick Selection

Bricks are selected from a wide color range to match clothing and hair tones as closely as possible. This step is done manually, not auto-filled.

04

Assembly & Packaging

Once completed, your Mini U is packaged and shipped ready for display — many customers place it in home offices, living rooms, or as part of a personal collection.

A Small Tip Before You Upload

Photos with good lighting and visible facial features usually produce the best results.
