Custom pet brick keepsakes

Memento Bricks

Send a favorite pet photo for a human-reviewed likeness check. We aim for a small 3D brick figure when it can genuinely feel like them, and recommend another buildable keepsake format when that protects the resemblance better.

First launch

Starting with pets, because people know when it feels like them.

The first release focuses on dogs, cats, and beloved companions as desk-sized brick keepsakes. Early requests are reviewed by hand so we can protect what matters most: the markings, posture, and tiny family details that make a pet recognisable.

How it works

From photo to buildable keepsake.

01

Upload the photo that feels like them

Share the pet photo, name, colors, pose, and the details your family would notice first.

02

We run a likeness fit check

We check whether the pet's key features can survive simplification into a small buildable keepsake.

03

Designer Review makes it buildable

Only promising requests move into paid likeness, stability, sourcing, and instruction review.

After you submit

A real preview, not a black box.

Memento Bricks is starting as a small studio workflow. That means early pet builds get human attention before we automate more of the design process.

Today

Photo received privately

Your pet photo is stored in private project storage and reviewed by the studio.

24-48 hours

Fit check response

We reply with whether the request looks suitable for a 3D figure, brick portrait, Designer Review, or a later custom build.

Then

Paid review decision

If the fit check passes and you want to continue, the chosen route becomes a sourceable build plan.

Designer Review

The human pass that protects the likeness.

A nice render is not enough. Designer Review is where we decide whether a 3D figure is the right answer, or whether a different buildable keepsake would capture the pet more honestly.

01

Likeness pass

We identify the features that must survive simplification: face, ears, coat markings, posture, and expression.

02

Format decision

We recommend 3D figure, portrait build, or a later custom route based on what best preserves recognition.

03

Buildability pass

The chosen model is constrained for stability, display use, and a realistic customer build.

04

Sourcing pass

We check parts availability and compare landed cost, not only individual part price.

Quality promise

No paid kit leaves as a guess.

A custom pet build has to earn trust before it earns money. We separate early visual ideas from customer-ready deliverables so people know exactly what stage their request is in.

Likeness before format

If a small 3D figure will not feel like the pet, we recommend a better keepsake path instead of forcing it.

Human review on paid custom work

Designer Review checks likeness, buildability, parts availability, and instruction clarity before final delivery.

Sourceable parts, not fantasy parts

Parts lists are checked against practical BrickLink availability and likely landed cost.

Respectful memorial handling

Beloved pets are treated as family keepsakes, not generic novelty models.

What you get

A keepsake people can picture before they buy.

Each early design starts with a preview and is intended to become a clear, buildable keepsake rather than a one-off AI image. The goal is a result customers can inspect, recognise, source, and eventually gift.

Real preview tests

Daisy and Rosie are our first proof points.

These previews are not final paid kits. They are the first visual direction that helps decide whether a pet should become a 3D figure, a portrait build, Designer Review, or a future gift-box kit.

First preview direction: white curly coat, tan ears, pink collar, desk-display pose.

First formats

Small enough to finish, personal enough to keep.

Start with a fit check, then choose whether you want a 3D Digital Mini Kit, Designer Review, a brick portrait, or a future physical gift-box kit.

Digital Mini Kits are intentionally constrained for stability, piece count, and clear instructions. More ambitious or memorial-sensitive ideas may need Designer Review.

We will use your pose and scene choices for the fit check. If an idea is too complex for a stable 3D Digital Mini Kit, we may suggest Designer Review, a brick portrait, or decline the build.
