Made by collectors,
for collectors.
We started Digs for Figs because we needed somewhere to put our own minifigs. A sailor from a Tesco lunch break, a couple of Ribba frames from IKEA, and an idea that wouldn’t go away.
A decade later we’re still at it — Martin still collecting, Sonia still making sure the operation doesn’t fall apart, and both of us genuinely excited about what’s coming next.
How it all started
It started on a lunch break. Martin walked to the local shops, bought some unhealthy snacks and — almost as an afterthought — a small foil bag from the counter at Tesco. Inside was a sailor minifigure. Series 4. That was the moment.
Over the next couple of years the collection grew into the hundreds. Finding somewhere to put them all led to a pair of Ribba frames from IKEA, some shelves, and a late-night project that a few friends said they’d buy. So they sold a few on eBay. Then a few more.
Sonia — recognising a business when she saw one — pushed to do it properly. They found a manufacturer, designed a frame the right size for minifigures, and Display Frames UK was born. Then came the front-opening door, the extra deep shelves, the four colours. Now it’s Digs for Figs, and it’s ten years in.
We’re based in Devon. We design in the UK. We’ve never stopped being collectors first.
Ten years by the numbers
I wanted to earn some money whilst staying at home with the children, create a stylish product I can be proud of, and stop my husband spending so much time playing with LEGO. Well — two out of three ain’t bad.
What we believe in
We design for ourselves as much as for you. If it doesn’t work for a real collection, we don’t sell it.
Not a storage box. A proper display piece that non-collectors won’t hate looking at.
We go to LEGO shows, we run competitions, we write about collecting. This isn’t just a product — it’s the thing we actually do.
