F.A.Q

OUR CUSTOM BOBBLEHEADS

How are made our custom bobbleheads ?

Each custom Bobble head design we make is totally handcrafted and hand-painted. No machine.

What are custom bobble head figurines made of ?

For full head-to-toe custom bobblehead figurine we use special soft polymer clay imported from Germany. This is non-toxic clay. It’s a special mixture of oxylite and alabastrite. It can be molded as needed. This material can produce great detail, such as hair texture and very fine details.

For premade bodies models we use polyresin. Polyresin is a stone-based material and stronger than ceramic. We use either type based on the type of order received.

What is the size of a bobble head figurine ?

Full head-to-toe custom figurines are about 6.25 – 7 inches high

Premade custom bobble head bodies models are about 5.90 – 7 inches high

Custom kids bobblehead are smaller, about 5 – 6 inches high

You also probably noticed that different bobble heads have different positions, some are sitting, some are bending, some are in other shapes etc... So these bobble heads might be shorter because of their position but will be proportionally equal to 7 inches if they were standing.

Can you do everything we want ?

Because everything is totally made by hand, we can realize almost everything. Simply choose Full head-to-toe custom bobbleheads.
