Custom Plastic Action Figure Toys

    Whether you want to make a custom vinyl toy, PVC figure, resin figure, life size sculpture or plushies, production costs will vary based on a number of factors. This guide will help you understand the key cost factors and provide a general idea of ​​pricing for different types of custom toy figures.

Factors that influence the cost of custom models：

•  

  Design complexity

  The complexity of the character model design is one of the biggest factors affecting the cost. Simple, minimalist designs require less time and resources, while detailed characters or characters with complex parts increase the cost.
•  

  Simple design: Fewer parts and details, so the cost is lower.

•  

  Complex design: More elaborate carving, painting, and movable parts cost more.

Material Choice：

    The material you choose for your custom figures also affects the price. Different materials have varying production costs, with some being more expensive due to their properties and production process.

•  

  Vinyl: A durable and flexible material that is cost-effective for large runs.

•  

  PVC: Slightly more expensive than vinyl but allows for greater detail.

•  

  Resin: Higher cost due to its premium finish and detailed sculpting, but no mold fee is required.

•  

  Sofubi: Mid to high range due to the traditional production method and unique hand-painted finishes.

•  

  Fiberglass: Higher cost for large sculptures due to material and size.

•  

  Plush: The price can vary depending on fabric, stuffing, and stitching complexity.

Order Quantity：

    Bulk orders significantly reduce the per-unit cost due to economies of scale. Producing more figures in one go allows us to optimize the production process and offer more competitive pricing.

•  

  Small orders (1-500 units): Higher per-unit cost due to setup and production time.

•  

  Large orders (1,000+ units): Lower per-unit cost with bulk production discounts.

Custom Features and Add-ons：

    Additional customizations like special paints, movable parts, or accessories will add to the total cost of your figure. Unique packaging, such as custom boxes or branded wrapping, can also increase the overall price.
