B2B molded and decorated figure production
Custom PVC FigureManufacturing
Static and multi-part character figures engineered around the approved form, part structure, color and pack-out.
FigCrafts supports authorized brands, IP owners, licensees and product teams with 3D development, prototypes, tooling, molded part production, painting, pad printing, hand finishing, assembly, inspection and final pack-out.

When a PVC Figure Route Fits the Project
“PVC figure” is a useful buyer-facing category, but the manufacturing route is confirmed from the finished product. Part function, rigidity, surface behavior, quantity, decoration and packaging may lead to a mixed-material construction.
Static Character Figures
Display-led products where the sculpt, pose, base, color and visible surface define the finished figure.
Mini, Chibi & Mascot Figures
Small character programs planned around stability, colorways, SKU quantities and repeatable pack-out.
Multi-Part Collectibles
Body parts, props, bases and inserts designed for controlled fit, decoration and final assembly.
Retail & Promotional Figurines
Authorized merchandise developed for a defined campaign, retail channel, quantity and packaging plan.
Approved character programs moving toward repeatable molded, decorated and packed production
Send the intended size, construction, quantity, variants, finish, packaging and target market. FigCrafts will review whether this route or another figure process better fits the product.
Engineering before tooling
Engineer Every Part by Function—Not by the Product Label
A buyer may call the finished item a PVC figure while its base, connectors, transparent effects or structural inserts need different behavior. The correct material and forming route are confirmed part by part.
Sculpt, Pose & Stability
Protect the approved silhouette while confirming center of mass, standing points, base support and packaging restraints.
Part Split & Tool Access
Separate the head, body, limbs, props and base around forming, mold release, visible seams, painting and assembly.
Joins & Retention
Define plugs, sockets, pins, keys, adhesives or fasteners according to handling and approved assembly behavior.
Surface & Detail
Review texture, draft, fine relief, facial features and areas where tooling or decoration can alter the intended appearance.
Color Architecture
Decide which colors are molded, sprayed, pad printed or hand finished and how color breaks affect part separation.
Packaging Envelope
Check finished dimensions, loose accessories, abrasion risk, tray layout and carton direction before pack-out is locked.
Materials follow part function
One Figure Can Require Different Behaviors
Material selection is confirmed by function, interface behavior, appearance, production method and applicable testing requirements. A material name is not assigned to every part before those conditions are reviewed.
Visible body and character parts
Bases and structural components
Pegs, sockets and connectors
Flexible or interference-prone parts
Transparent, effect and decorated parts
Approve the physical form, part relationships, surface and color direction before production tooling and bulk decoration proceed.
Factory-backed production route
From Authorized Design to Final Pack-Out
Buyer approvals are placed before production tooling, bulk decoration and final packing. FigCrafts manages core product development and production steps in-house and coordinates approved packaging components through established partners.
Brief & Rights Review
Review authorization, artwork or 3D files, size, quantity, market, finish and packaging direction.
3D, Parts & Materials
Develop proportions, part splits, interfaces, stability, material behavior and decoration logic.
Prototype & Approve
Confirm form, scale, part relationships, surface, stability and color direction before production tooling.
Tooling & Trial
Prepare the approved tooling route and review trial parts against the agreed approval criteria.
Mold, Decorate & Assemble
Produce confirmed parts, apply approved painting or printing and complete the defined assembly sequence.
Inspect & Pack
Check agreed appearance, fit, stability and completeness, then complete final pack-out on-site.

Partner-Produced Components, Coordinated as One Pack-Out Plan
Approved boxes, printed materials, trays and blisters are produced through established partners. FigCrafts coordinates that scope and can complete final assembly, inspection and pack-out on-site.
Appearance, QC and commercial inputs
Control What Buyers See—and What Changes the Quote
Shape, face, color, seams, print and pack-out are close-range purchase decisions. Quality references and quotation inputs must therefore connect the approved appearance to the actual part and SKU plan.
Production Checks Follow the Approved Reference
500–1,000 units
The final requirement depends on product structure, tooling, material, color variants, finishing, packaging and the quantity split per SKU.
Need one physical sample?
A prototype can start from one unit through 3D printing, vacuum casting or another suitable non-production process. This does not imply one-unit injection production.

Route comparison
PVC Figure, Action Figure or Vinyl Toy?
Industry labels overlap. Confirm the construction, movement, forming method, quantity, finish and commercial use before the detailed material specification is approved.
PVC / Static Figure Route
Commonly reviewed for molded, multi-part and decorated character figures where form, surface and display condition define the product.
Current route
Custom Action Figure Route
Use when joint systems, pose range, retention, wear and interchangeable accessories define the engineering problem.
Review action figure route →Vinyl & Designer Toy Route
Use when a hollow rotocast form, silhouette-led art toy presentation or vinyl-specific seams and release logic define the product.
Review vinyl toy route →PVC figure buyer FAQ
Resolve the Product and Commercial Boundary Early
Exact engineering, production quantity, testing and quotation requirements are confirmed after sufficient design, finish, packaging and target-market information is reviewed.
What is a custom PVC figure?+
On this page, it means a custom static or multi-part character figure developed around an approved molded, decorated and assembled product route. The final construction may include different materials where part function requires them.
Does every part have to be PVC?+
No. Material selection is confirmed by part function, interface behavior, appearance, production method and applicable testing requirements. Bases, connectors, inserts, transparent effects or flexible parts may require different behavior from the visible character body.
Can FigCrafts make one physical sample?+
One physical unit can be reviewed as a prototype through 3D printing, vacuum casting or another suitable non-production method. It is not a one-unit injection-molding route.
What is the typical injection production MOQ?+
Typical injection-molded production MOQ is 500–1,000 units. The actual requirement depends on tooling, material, parts, decoration, packaging and the quantity split per SKU.
What affects paint, printing and color consistency?+
Part separation, molded color, substrate behavior, paint masks, pad-print geometry, hand-detail scope, gloss target, approved color references and friction or contact areas all affect the production plan and inspection criteria.
Can retail packaging be included?+
Yes. Established partners produce approved boxes, printed materials, trays and blisters. FigCrafts coordinates that scope and can complete final assembly, inspection and pack-out on-site.
Can we sign an NDA, and how are tooling terms handled?+
NDA support is available before detailed file exchange. Tooling ownership, storage, maintenance, use and transfer terms are confirmed in the project agreement before tooling begins. Customer-funded tooling arrangements are documented as part of the approved commercial scope.
Can applicable market testing be coordinated?+
Products can be developed and coordinated for third-party testing against applicable requirements such as EN 71, ASTM F963, CPSIA and REACH. The final scope depends on the product, materials, age grading and target market.
What affects the project timeline?+
The 1–3 business days refers to initial project feedback, not the complete development or production lead time. The schedule depends on starting file quality, part complexity, prototype route, tooling scope, sample revisions, decoration, SKU count, packaging readiness, testing and approval response time. A project schedule is prepared after the route and approval gates are defined.
