August 2014

detail that produces an authentic experience for your consumers.

Transforming Brands into ExperiencesCoupling an intriguing offering of merchandise with content as a Collectors Edition is a tried and true concept. But, like all consumer products, the definition of a “great” Collectors Edition offering has grown in recent years.

Just like the Convention Exclusive product rapidly evolved from a simple action figure repaint into truly unique and original items, consumers of these Collector Editions have grown to demand more. Much, much more!

The Rvckvs team has led the way in this innovation, with an “upping the ante” approach to each project. However, it’s not just bigger that gets the job done. To truly satisfy the consumer’s expectations, we work together to capture the essence of the property—we transform the on screen experience to the real world!


Collector’s Editions

For the Borderlands 2 special Collectorʼs Edition, Rvckvs was trusted to create the ultimate premium item. After numerous creative proposals, and in close collaboration with the development studio, the iconic Loot Locker as a display box was chosen.

The Rvckvs Solution: Drawing on our experience working with video game, movie and other entertainments properties, Rvckvs was able to duplicate the in-game experience to exacting detail in this accurate 3-dimensional prop replica.

Additionally, this product was modified and sold as a stand-alone retail product to rapid sellout, nearly a full year after its original release as the Collectors Edition bundle
