1 - Gather your ideas - The best way for us to help you, is if you have a clear idea on what you want. If you are not sure, then take a look in our gallery at past work, or at other web sites. With this information we can be sure to quote on your ideas. You will also need an idea of the approximate number of figurines you will be ordering.
You can always change your mind later. Are you thinking about 250, - 2,500 - or 25,000 pieces. This can help us determine the best method to serve you.
You will need to think about whether you would like a normal figurine or a bobble head type figurine. We can help you decide based on what you want to do with the figurine, and how you plan to market, giveaway or sell the item.
You should think about the size of the figurine, where it will be used and how it will look. We can help with the rest.
Your ideas can be turned in to a bobble head too !

2 - Get a quote on your idea - With your input regarding a few details we can give you an approximate quote. You should have an idea of the level of detail, the size and number you are thinking about ordering. We can provide a ballpark quote based on this information. Your quote will include everything right up to local ground shipping.
We quote local ground shipping separately since it can vary depending on if we are shipping a full container up to your dock level warehouse, or shipping a few boxes to your garage. Everything else is include. There are additional accessories you can choose at an additional cost, but we will be sure to detail what is included and what is not.
3 - Get a prototype - You have thought about your idea, received an approximate quote, and now that you are comfortable with our company and our pricing, it is time to get a prototype. For most clients the first step is for our company to do some sketches for you to determine the look on paper. Now is the time to work out your thoughts on paper. We can email you black and white sketches, and then send you color sketches when those are approved.
With the sketches approved, and all of your ideas included, we will carve a 3D clay model of your idea. This will be an exact representation from your sketches. Obviously there is minor interpretations from a flat piece of paper to a full 3D model so this is the time to work out the look of your bobble head.
Your prototype will be photographed for our records, and then sent to you so that you may look it over from all angles. You have the opportunity to detail any changes at this point which we can help document and give to the designer. Now is the time to finalize your thoughts and finalize the prototype stage.
4 - Go in to production - This is the most exciting time. With your prototype approved and your quantity chosen, we go in to production. You will see the first production sample come off of the line so that you can be sure that the order will be completed as you intended.
5 - Pick Accessories - We have many ideas on how to make your custom made bobble head doll just a little bit better. These options are not required but they can turn a great product in to an extraordinay product. Some basic accessories are, air shipping, cardboard hangtag, printed box, and many more.
6 - Delivery, Right on Time ! - We will produce the quantity you have chosen, pack your figurine in a custom styrofoam shell for safety and the in to a cardboard box.
