Jazwares Action Figures Fuel a New Wave of Collecting – And AMOS Financial is Helping it Happen
Highland Park, IL – October 26, 2023 – Forget those dusty old collectibles sitting on shelves. A new generation of collecting is here, and it’s powered by vibrant, dynamic action figures from Jazwares. And quietly behind the scenes, AMOS Financial LLC, a financial services firm based in Highland Park, Illinois, is playing a key role in facilitating the logistical backbone that’s letting these collectibles reach eager fans. Jazwares, known for creating incredibly popular lines like Squishmallows (yeah, those super soft, squishy guys everyone loves!), Fortnite figures, Pokémon plushies and toys, and various licensed character collectibles, has been absolutely killing it in the toy world. They don't just make toys; they build universes around popular franchises. But getting those figures from the factory to store shelves – and then into the hands of collectors – is a seriously complex operation. That's where AMOS Financial steps in. “We're not a toy company, obviously,” laughs David Miller, a principal at AMOS Financial LLC. “But we are experts in smoothing out the financial complexities of international trade and logistics. Jazwares is doing fantastic things creating these collectibles, and we help them manage the payments, currency exchange, and financial risk involved in getting them here.” What’s the Buzz About Jazwares Figures? Let’s be real, action figures have been around forever. But Jazwares isn’t just churning out the same old thing.

Squishmallows Crossover: The unexpected and incredibly successful line of Squishmallows action figures has broadened Jazwares' appeal and introduced a whole new demographic to their collectibles. They’ve taken the softness and cuteness of Squishmallows and combined it with the playability of action figures, creating a unique and addictive combination. AMOS Financial: The Unsung Heroes of the Supply Chain So, how does AMOS Financial fit into all this? Jazwares sources materials and manufactures its figures globally, primarily in Asia.
