Numskull Designs

Party Novelties

A licensed consumer-goods maker that turns gaming and entertainment properties into lamps, mugs, desk gadgets and novelty homeware. If a franchise has a glowing icon, Paladone has probably made a lamp of it.

Weird Tech & Useless Gadgets

A toy and pop-culture gift inventor working with licensed brands, best known for its RealFX Puppetronic range of hand-operated animatronic characters. The company describes its mission as bringing great brands to life.

Desk Toys & Fidgets

Engineers flying rings and discs designed to travel absurd distances, the original Aerobie ring having once held the Guinness record for the farthest thrown object. The same company also made the AeroPress coffee maker.

Weird Tech & Useless Gadgets

Builds officially licensed arcade cabinets at roughly three-quarter scale so a real Pac-Man or Street Fighter machine fits in a living room. Also makes countercade and head-to-head table versions.

Gag Gifts & Prank Mail

Seattle's long-running purveyor of deliberately absurd novelties, from rubber chickens and tiny hands to bacon-scented everything and finger monsters. The catalogue leans hard on Bigfoot, crows, pickles, cats and axolotls, and much of it is designed in-house.

Subscription Boxes

A monthly family activity pack that includes a full board game in every box alongside other group activities. It is built for households that want something to do rather than something to collect.
