This custom PVC astronaut figure appears simple but is built in three layers: inner character body, astronaut shell (helmet, suit, boots, backpack), and metallic finish. The finish determines if it is a premium collectible or cheap souvenir. Each layer has different quality risks.
| Material | Job on this figure | Why it works | Detail floor | MOQ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ★ Rigid PVC | Body and suit shell, injection molded | Tough, drop-resistant, holds stylized detail and saturated color long-term; the right answer for kid-contact and retail gift runs | 0.5 mm | 100 pcs |
| Optical-grade clear PVC / clear ABS | Helmet dome and visor window | Engineered for transmittance and low haze rather than for color; 1.5-2.0 mm wall survives a drop without clouding | Optical (haze graded) | 100 pcs |
| ABS | Inner body, helmet ring, joint pins, battery door | Dimensionally stable and rigid where PVC would creep; takes a screw thread and a snap fit reliably | 0.4 mm | 100 pcs |
| Rotocast soft vinyl | Alternative body for oversized retro shapes | Hollow and light, the classic space-age toy hand-feel, and cheap to scale up - but it cannot hold the fine suit paneling PVC can | 0.8-1.0 mm | 300 pcs |
