Since its current incarnation in 1995, Harmony Kingdom and their Boxes have become one of the most popular and hottest collectibles.
They combine humour, excellent craftwork, hidden messages, and the versatility of being a box. The models are crafted using crushed marble. They are then hand painted and tinted.

"While taking Sam and Millie swimming the other day, I think I spent as much time checking out other peoples’ tattoos as I did checking to make sure the children weren’t drowning. I felt like the only adult without a tattoo. . .I felt naked. I suppose that’s where the idea came for "Ink Oink". Researching tattoos was interesting, and I learned a new phrase - "tramp stamp". Did you know that in 2009, even Barbie came with a "tramp stamp" and other iron-on tattoos to celebrate her fiftieth birthday? Maybe that's why I think I need one. . .it might be a fiftieth thing. Next, I needed a "guinea pig" to practise my tattooing on, but then decided a guinea pig was too hairy. I wonder if anyone will figure out why my pig has the numbers 8-9-3 tattooed on its body. The interior of "Ink Oink" shows the Chinese symbol for the "Year of the Rabbit".
Many of the earlier retired boxes are very collectable and already sell for many times there original purchase price, most notably Backscratch, Who'd A Thought and The Elusive Few. This collection consists of the Shaggy Dog, Panda, Shoe Bill, Shark, Ram, and the Rooster.
