HISTORY

Circa 2018. The phrase “…and then, the lightbulb went off” is so befitting in this moment. Like so many start ups, there are times when you have to take a step back into order to have a major breakthrough.

Circa 2017. 3D printing prototypes were a huge contributor in our early “R&D” stages. With every new print brought us closer and closer to the final designs.

Circa 2017. ReKennect was beginning to take shape. From 2D pencil drawings designs, they were transformed into to fully, developed tactile prototypes.

Circa 2016. This is one of my favorite images - my nephew and I are preparing for another battle of good v. evil. It’s a timeless photo that brings me back to my younger days immersed in my world of imagination. The photo really captured what I wanted ReKennect to invoke in everyone - a return to the days of a simpler childhood.

Using foam, cardboard, and a ton of glue, I had this burst of energy and excitement on what I creating. At the time I wasn’t sure where this journey was taking me. All I knew it was something that I couldn’t let go - I needed to pursue this without hesitation or doubts. With some big inspiration coming in the form of my little nephew, I began making castles and battle play environments, constantly.

Circa 2013. Years before the dream of ReKennect, the idea of developing a series to action figure playsets for kids was constantly in my mind. Inspired by the Hoth Base (in Star Wars), this was the first of many handmade creations.

Circa 2018. The engineer and the creator striking a poses and smiles at the first, completely assembled ReKennect playset. The Fortress would quickly become the centerpiece of the ReKennect toy line.

Circa 2018. Action figures in hand and prototypes sprawled on the dining room table, and timing proved to be perfect combination for magic. For us, in that moment, the “lightbulb” didn’t just ignite, it exploded. With boundless supply of unused designed parts, the idea of producing a variety of travel-size playsets were before our very eyes - for there the Battlepack collection was born!
