About Us
Our Story
LMC Creations LLC—short for Laura & Michael Crawford—was built from a love of fandoms and hands-on creativity. While tossing around logo ideas, Michael jokingly said, “We should call it Laser Monkey.” Laura loved it—and just like that, Laser Monkey Collectibles & Creations was born.
We set out to bring fun, affordable experiences to fellow fans. From laser-etched collectibles to our Build Your Own Saber Experience, every piece is made to celebrate the nerd in all of us.
Why we do what we do: To help fans connect, create, and feel seen—and because we genuinely love watching our customers be creative and have fun.
Our Mission
At Laser Monkey Collectibles & Creations, our goal is simple: bring a little more fun and fandom into the world. We’re here to make high-quality collectibles and interactive experiences—like building your own saber—accessible without breaking the bank. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just getting started, we want to help you feel like part of the galaxy.
Meet The Nerds
Owner Laura Crawford &
Creative Partner Michael Crawford
We’re a married duo of lifelong nerds who turned our love of fandoms into a business. Laura keeps us organized, runs the show, and handles every detail behind the scenes—from planning events to making final calls. Michael is the creative spark and tech wizard, always dreaming up new ideas and solving problems on the fly.
Most of what we create comes from late-night brainstorms, road trip chats, and a whole lot of laughter. We’re just two fans building something fun—for other fans like us.
Our Son Cory
The heart of our Build Your Own experience—Cory brings energy, fun, and a smile to every event. He’s been helping since day one, running the BYO station like a pro and making sure every guest feels welcome. Whether he’s restocking parts, answering questions, or showing off saber tricks, Cory’s always ready with a saber in hand and a joke in his pocket.
Our Daughter Chloe
The soul of our customer experience—Chloe keeps our booth running smooth and every visitor feeling welcome. Her smile is as sharp as her saber smarts, and she’s always eager to help customers pick the perfect parts.
When she’s not helping at events, she’s working on her own creative projects and making us laugh with her quick wit and big personality. Chloe brings joy wherever she goes—and our booth wouldn’t be the same without her.
Our Crew Member Mak
Mak—better known around here as Mak Attack—is a key part of our Build Your Own Saber crew. From the moment a guest steps up to the table, Mak makes the experience smooth, efficient, and enjoyable. She has a talent for helping customers select parts and assemble their hilts with precision and care.
Her calm, reliable presence keeps things running smoothly even during high-traffic hours. Mak’s detailed understanding of our hilt components and her ability to guide guests through the assembly process ensures every customer walks away with a saber they’re proud to call their own.
Head of Security & Naps
Born May 17, 2025, Dobby is a unique blend of mystery and curls. After wondering about his heritage, a DNA test revealed he is half domestic cat and half LaPerm—which explains those signature curly locks!
As our “Head of Security & Naps,” Dobby travels to every show, providing moral support and keeping booth stress at an all-time low. He is a true house-elf at heart who loves wearing his outfits and receiving chin scritches from fans. Just a fair warning for our customers: he’s a sweet Dobby while wearing his clothes, but he turns into a bit of a grumpy Kreacher without them! Come say hi to him at our next event.
Proudly woman-owned and powered by fandom, creativity, and a love for all things nerdy.
