Introducing a treasure in the world of engagement rings: the Mike Wazowski-inspired ring box . If you’re a fan of Pixar’s beloved character and looking for a truly unique way to propose, you’ve come to the right place. I crafted the figurine you probably saw as one of few memes.
Crafting The First Mike Wazowski Ring Box
I first built it for Brian from New York. He proposed to his girlfriend at Disneyland and pop the question during Wishes fireworks display. Mike Wazowski is her favorite character. This unique engagement ring box is designed for those who appreciate both the magic of Pixar and the significance of a heartfelt proposal. I love everything what Pixar makes so I was happy to build it for another Monsters Inc fan. The body of this character allowed for decent space for his diamond engagement ring inside. I sculpted him digitally and 3d printed.
Painting of this monster is not just simple green. I don’t leave it solid color because it would look like a toy. I use airbrush with shades of green and yellow with spots to create skin texture. I improve him with each version while keep the look of original people liked and shared. I now also construct this special box to ship him safely with selection of images from sites where it appeared. If you post it somewhere, please tag me @the_modelmaker on Instagram or link to this page. It helps me continue my passion of building things and make people smile. To keep good balance between helping other couples and keeping this object special and rare, I only make him in tiny batch once or twice a year. Send me message if you want one.

Who is Mike from Monsters
Meet Mike Wazowski, the beloved character from Pixar’s “Monsters, Inc.” and its 2013 prequel, “Monsters University.” He’s the iconic one-eyed, green, pint-sized monster with a slender body, spindly arms, and petite legs.
Mike is known for his boundless enthusiasm and positivity. He works at Monsters, Inc., a company that harvests human children’s screams to power the monster world. Despite his small size, he aspires to be the top scarer.
His overconfidence and occasional naivety don’t deter him; his determination and unwavering self-belief help him overcome challenges. His friendship with James P. Sullivan, or “Sulley,” forms a central part of the story, as their unique strengths make them an exceptional team.
