Top Questions About Manufacturing Vinyl Figures

What is your MOQ?

We have no strict MOQ, but for vinyl figures quantities under 500 pcs tend to turn out expensive, which could reach 20+ USD per one figure just in manufacturing. If you are specifically targeting high end market of art toys and is able to market it for 100+ USD, you can contact us for an estimate quote. For quantity less than 500 pcs, polystone figurines are an option for you to consider. It has no molding fee. It is the coloring by hand that makes up for the greater part of the cost.

What information/ files do you need to provide?

GA sketch or 3D files of toys, dimensions and materials requirements and what quantity you would like to produce. Would be better to know your target price too.

What is the lead time?

For figure toys – up to 1 month for prototype, 40-60 days molding, 40 days manufacturing. It needs to be discussed case by case, mainly because of different complexity levels of the molding / sculpting.

Do you have sculpt?

Yes- we can offer this service. We could transfer illustrations into 3D files, now have a foreign 3D/concept artist collaborating with us specifically for that, the quality of his 3D files is exceptional. And our internal engineering team helps to edit the minor details for the sake of manufacturability. For a 3D file design, we charge $300-$1000/day, which is based on the size and complexity of the model. Simple models can usually take no more than 3 days while a complex one may take more than 6 days to finish. Contact us if you need 3D design service!
