Our ambition goes beyond producing content

We build IPs people can watch, read, experience, collect, wear and become part of.

Boneybone began through a creative collaboration around MISI. That experience shaped a bigger idea: a strong story should not end with a book, and a character should not exist only on a screen. A strong IP can become an ecosystem.

The Next Chapter

From audience to community.

The new Boneybone strategy deepens the relationship between people and our worlds — moving beyond passive consumption into participation and ownership.

01Viewership

People discover our stories through comics, books, animation, video and digital content.

02Participation

Audiences follow, interact, share, discuss and become active members of the community around each IP.

03Ownership

Fans can bring the worlds they love into everyday life through merchandise, collectibles and experiences.

Introducing Bon

The Eternal Explorer.

Bon represents Boneybone itself: constantly moving, exploring, making and imagining what could exist next. He is the studio's official brand ambassador — and a property designed to become much more than a mascot.

The Whimsical Storyteller

Bon sees possibilities everywhere — ordinary moments can become the beginning of a new world, character or story.

02

The Meticulous Maker

He represents craftsmanship and execution. Great ideas matter, but building them well matters just as much.

03

The Ethical Steward

Bon represents responsible storytelling: enjoyable, respectful, positive and built with a long-term point of view.

From Screen to Street

Stories can become part of everyday life.

A character discovered through a page or screen can become a T-shirt, hoodie, sticker, collectible, bag, figurine or desk object — something a fan can carry, display and identify with.

Community before commerce. Strong community creates stronger long-term IP.
Creative Investment · Film & Entertainment

Libang
Libu.

Boneybone Studio participated as an investor in Libang Libu — extending our creative ambition beyond our internally developed IPs and into the wider Malaysian entertainment industry.

The investment reflects a broader BBS strategy: build our own worlds, while selectively participating in high-potential creative projects that deepen our experience, networks and understanding of entertainment at scale.

The result: participation in a Malaysian film that became a major box-office success.

Our Brand Philosophy

Who Boneybone is becoming.

The evolving Boneybone identity combines craft, curiosity and a much closer relationship with the communities around our characters.

Craft

Visionary & Skillful

We imagine new worlds — and believe in the craftsmanship, discipline and capability needed to build them properly.

Culture

Memetic & Community-Obsessed

Modern IP lives inside communities. Our characters should participate naturally in digital culture, not simply broadcast at audiences.

Curiosity

Whimsical & Adventurous

Creativity should not feel trapped by traditional corporate limits. We make room for exploration, play and unexpected ideas.
