Ancientz is an original collectible IP created by Howard ‘Quiggly’ Chang, reimagining characters whose stories have inspired billions across thousands of years, now reborn as bold, sci-fi-inspired sculptural designs, built to expand across premium collectibles, mass-market toys, fashion, and media including animation, gaming, and film. Ancientz is the flagship property from Varner Studios — known for character-driven design and foundational work on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and other iconic toy lines — now reborn as a creator and retailer of limited-edition art toys and character-driven collectibles. Varner Studios operates under Glorius Inc., a Los Angeles–based collectibles and art-toys company founded by Howard “Quiggly” Chang and Gloria Lee, which designs and delivers premium limited-run figures, art toys, and fan experiences combining collectible value, storytelling, and bold design.
