TOYKO

Toyko is a mobile app prototype that helps collectors track and trade blind box toys. Inspired by my own growing collection, it fills a market gap with no streamlined tool for tracking pulls or managing trades. The app enables direct trading with friends and lets users search and send offers to others. This project reflects my passion for collecting, data organization, and community-building, while exploring how Toyko could support brands like Pop Mart by boosting engagement and visibility.

With blind boxes growing in popularity, collectors struggle to track what they own, want, or have traded. Without a central platform, it’s easy to lose track, make repeat purchases, or miss trading opportunities.

Tiny Figures, Big Personality

Each character asset in Toyko was carefully chosen to reflect the playful spirit of the blind box community. From Sony Angels to Skullpanda, these figures represent some of the most beloved collectibles across various series. These sample assets bring personality to the app and help users instantly recognize the diverse world of blind box toys.

The background shapes highlight the mini figures while keeping the design playful and bold. Slightly angled with rounded corners, the shapes feel dynamic, and the toys spilling beyond them allude to the excitement of unboxing.

Manage & Customize Your Collection

Beyond display, Toyko helps collectors stay organized with tools to manage wishlists, mark toys for trade, and track collection counts. Profiles can be fully customized with banners, profile pictures, and visibility settings, giving collectors control over both function and personalization.


Show Off Your Shelf: A Collector’s Digital Trophy Case

Profiles serve as display cases for collectors’ blind box toys, featuring pulls, favorites, and diary logs. Badges and titles—like "Mini Master" (10 toys) or "Blind Box Boss" (100+)—celebrate milestones, making each profile a unique collector identity and sparking community interaction.

Toyko’s Logo

The Toyko logo was designed to communicate playfulness and community. The underline beneath “Toy” highlights the platform’s focus on toys while adding a sense of motion and excitement, reflecting the thrill of unboxing collectibles. The “ko” references the Japanese word 子 (ko), meaning child, evoking our inner child and the curiosity and joy that drive toy collecting. Toys aren’t just for kids; they connect people and spark communities through shared playfulness and nostalgia. Every element of the logo was chosen to make the brand approachable, engaging, and memorable, supporting Toyko’s goal of creating a welcoming community for collectors.

Toyko’s Origins

Toyko was designed for toy collecting enthusiasts as a platform to connect collector communities. It serves as both a tool and a social space, allowing users to track the growth of their own collections while connecting with others who share the same passion and appreciation for collectibles.

A Personalized Start to Your Journey

Onboarding welcomes users to Toyko, helping them set preferences and customize profile visuals. The home screen highlights collection logs, friend updates, and trending toys, while the Toyko News tab shares updates, drops, and announcements.

A Digital Tool For Collectors, Built By A Collector

SOLUTION

Trustworthy Trading

This feature brings the heart of Toyko to life. Users can send and receive trade offers, chat about trades, and see public user collections. With social elements built in, Toyko promotes a sense of connection and shared joy among collectors—whether they're friends or new acquaintances. Built-in safety measures like reputation scores and transparent trade histories ensure every interaction feels secure. By blending trust with excitement, Toyko turns trading into a meaningful and reliable experience.

SKILL & GROWTH

This project allowed me to expand beyond traditional Figma design into advanced prototyping techniques. I incorporated animated flows, conditional interactions, and click-through pathways to bring Toyko’s functionality to life. Working on Toyko sharpened my understanding of user behavior, taught me how to design with scalability in mind, and reinforced my belief that good design solves real-world problems—even the ones that seem niche at first.
