Custom Resin Designer Art Toy Collectible Character Figure

Six steps. Step one artist brings original sculpt, file format STL OBJ or physical clay original. Step two Demeng scans and prepares CNC or SLA master pattern, two to five working days. Step three artist signs the master, optional resize or finish sampling. Step four Demeng makes silicone mold and pulls the gold sample, artist signs the gold sample, optional hand-paint revision. Step five vacuum cast in edition batch, hand finished per the finish protocol, brass armature installed for figures over eight inches. Step six numbered edition, COA written and signed, packed in premium collector box with EVA foam insert, shipped. Total lead time 54 to 75 days door to door including sea freight.

Eight finish families that can be mixed across a single edition. Matte is the default flat finish, hides small skin marks, reads modern. Satin is a low gloss halfway between matte and gloss. High-gloss clear coat reads as wet plastic, expensive looking. Metallic pigment gives a metal sheen without being a real metal figure, used for surreal pop art and chrome face. Marble effect uses cast-in pigment veins that look like real stone, used for 12 to 16 in gallery hero. Gradient cast-in color reads as two-tone with no paint layer, used for limited edition 30 to 80 pieces. Solid cast-in color reads as one color throughout, used for 200 plus pieces. Artist-custom finish like flocked velvet or specialty glaze by quote. Pantone match is plus or minus 2 Delta E on flat tones and plus or minus 3 on metallic.

Three checkpoints. Master pattern sign-off is the first, before silicone mold is poured the artist signs the CNC or SLA master. Gold sample sign-off is the second, after the first cast and paint batch the artist signs the gold sample with a small batch of three to five pieces, this becomes the reference. Edition pull is the third, every silicone mold has a pull counter, first mid and last cast of every pull are compared to the gold sample under raking light. Drift above the agreed tolerance is culled rather than downgraded. Brass armature is added for figures over eight inches to prevent shipping fracture, with the armature visible in the base cavity only. Edition numbering is engraved or pad printed on the base, COA printed, photograph archived for seven years.

Three paths depending on access level. If the figure sits on a desk or shelf with adult-only access and is sold as adult collectible, no toy directive applies, the figure is a decorative object. If the figure is sold in retail and may be reached by children, full toy compliance: CE, EN71 part 1, 2 and 3, ASTM F963, CPSIA tracking label and CPC, CCPSA. If the figure ships to California, Prop 65 statement on file. Demeng Toy is the manufacturer of record and holds the Declaration of Conformity for ten years. Edition numbering and COA record are kept for seven years for the artist. Brass armature installation record is kept for every figure over eight inches, which matters for shipping insurance claims.

Yes and we recommend it for figures over eight inches. Brass wire 1.5 to 3 mm is cast into the resin during vacuum casting, anchored at the base and rising through the body, hidden inside the figure. For figures over 14 inches a stainless steel internal frame is welded separately and the resin is cast around it. For figures with extending elements like a coffee pot in the open mouth or a dome on top, brass pin armature extends into the element to prevent shipping fracture. The armature is visible only when the figure is unpacked and the base cavity is exposed. Demeng Toy logs the armature spec with the figure SKU so a future reprint uses the same internal skeleton.
