How To Make Custom Toy Figures? Make A Prototype First
Demeng Toy specializes in transforming your creative designs into vinyl toys. Whether you provide a 2D sketch or a 3D model file (supported formats include OBJ, STL, STP, IGS, etc.), Demeng Toy can create a highly accurate and realistic figure prototype within 7–9 business days.
Why create a prototype first?
Creating a prototype is a critical step before officially launching a collectible toy project. It is essential not only for verifying design feasibility and manufacturability but also for helping you more accurately determine the final mass production plan and processes, thereby effectively budgeting and controlling costs. Additionally, it allows you to efficiently gather market feedback, assess audience response, and provides an intuitive and reliable basis for project improvement and pre-sales. Even if your goal isn't a commercial release but simply to own a one-of-a-kind personal collectible, customizing a prototype sample remains the optimal choice to fulfill your creative vision.

Art toys, also known as designer toys, are a creative cultural phenomenon born in Hong Kong in the late 20th century, blending artistic value with collectible appeal through three‑dimensional vinyl works crafted by designers and artists. Sparked in 1999 by Michael Lau’s street‑style vinyl figure and Eric So’s fashion‑themed Bruce Lee action figure, the trend swiftly grew into a global movement, dividing into Western designer toys and Japanese trend toys like Be@rbrick. Defined by limited editions and the fusion of art creation, they allow artists to reimagine existing models or invent original IP characters, with auction values soaring—Yoshitomo Nara’s limited figures have fetched 20 times their original price, and Takashi Murakami’s prototypes have exceeded $560,000. Today, while mainland China’s Pop Mart leads via designer incubation and omnichannel expansion, the industry remains emerging, balancing overseas imports with domestic innovation. From underground exhibitions to record‑breaking sales, art toys have evolved beyond collectibles into recognized artworks, embraced by global legends like KAWS, Gary Baseman, and others, and celebrated as a unique intersection of toy, fashion, and art.

Creating a lifelike anime figure is a meticulous journey that blends artistry, technology, and precision—here’s how Demeng Toy, a seasoned anime figure manufacturer with over a decade of expertise, brings 2D characters to vivid 3D life. Specializing in custom PVC painted figurines, Demeng Toy walks through the four core stages of production: prototype development (the most time-consuming and critical step, evolving from hand-sculpting with clay/putty to streamlined 3D printing), mold creation (balancing cost and scale with PVC or steel molds), painting & assembly (machine-sprayed base coats plus hand-detailed finishes, followed by careful part assembly), and packaging & transportation (dual-layer protection with secure inner foam/PVC boxes and eye-catching outer displays featuring viewing windows). From gray model (GK) refinements to mold line polishing and hand-painted nuances, each step ensures the final figurine captures the character’s essence—proving that even a small collectible demands intricate craftsmanship and significant manpower to shine in perfect form.

Originally referring to all kinds of humanoid or object models, the term figure, with the rise of anime culture, come to denote character models based on ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games) roles. While many are puzzled by their high prices—ranging from tens to hundreds of dollars—figures are far more than simple humanoid toys: crafting a high‑quality piece demands deep knowledge of human anatomy and advanced 3D modeling skills, often taking around a month, unlike mass‑produced clay dolls or regular toys. Their expense stems from three key factors: a manual production process that involves mold creation, assembly, and detailed hand‑painting, with sculptors sometimes spending weeks perfecting intricate details, and authentic figures issued as limited editions whose scarcity drives prices up after production ends, while counterfeits vary wildly in quality; anime copyright fees, since licensing character designs from companies such as Aniplex or Bandai adds substantial cost—explaining why genuine figures are pricier and fakes cheaper—yet supporting official releases also sustains the anime industry; and value beyond materials, because figures are treasured not merely for plastic and craftsmanship but for the meaning fans invest in them, transforming 2D characters into tangible 3D forms that embody dreams, passion, and support for creators, bringing deep joy when displayed. In essence, anime figures merge artistry, craftsmanship, intellectual property rights, and heartfelt connection, making them far more than decorative collectibles.

This article offers a comprehensive overview of common plastic materials and the diverse types of figures they produce, highlighting how material choice shapes form, function, and appeal. It explains that plastic figures—lightweight, durable, and colorful—are primarily made from ABS, PP, PVC, or resin, with each material serving distinct purposes: ABS for complex structures, PP for child-safe toys, PVC for finely painted collectibles, and resin for premium, limited‑edition anime or game figurines. Action figures, typically crafted from PVC or TPR via roto‑casting or injection molding, boast smooth or matte surfaces, impact resistance, and vivid surface treatments such as painting, electroplating, or UV printing, making them staples of trendy toys and IP derivatives. Injection molding enables low‑cost mass production, while roto‑casting yields hollow, flexible yet durable figures with a texture between soft rubber and hard plastic. Resin figures, made from epoxy or PU resin using casting methods, excel in reproducing intricate details like skin textures and fabric folds, often enhanced by meticulous hand‑painting techniques for rich, lasting colors; though heavier, costlier, and more brittle, they hold high artistic and collectible value, with some using eco‑friendly bio‑based resins. Compared to plush figures, roto‑cast figures are more impact‑resistant and design‑versatile, though they feel colder in winter. Overall, the article illustrates how material properties, production techniques, and finishing processes converge to create figures spanning affordable blind boxes to high‑end collectibles across art toys, anime IP derivatives, and themed collections.
