In Summary
Top 3 Questions About Manufacturing Action Figures
#1 How many toys: Quantities & Ideal Order Sizes
We can produce 5,000 or more action figures per production run. We have experience with large, complex toy distributions and can readily support orders in the hundreds of thousands to millions.
If 5,000 is too many, some terrific alternatives are polystone figurines and designer vinyl figures.

#2 Timelines: Creation-to-Delivery
It takes about 26 to 32 weeks to design, prototype, manufacture and deliver an order of action figures. Some figures that have complex designs or that mix different materials or production techniques can take a bit longer.
“Rush” schedules are possible, but toys can only be made so quickly. Contact us to see what's possible for your project. For rush schedules review & approval stages are reduced and some additional rush costs apply.
#3 How much $: Costs & Budgets
Each of our clients' action figures are made-to-order and many variables affect pricing.
The cost to create an order of action figures depends on:
- Character design
- Action figure size
- # of joints and accessories
- Painting complexity
- Packaging
- Quantity
We Design to Budgets
Because we design and produce figures from scratch, we work backwards from budgets and program goals to help recommend the right features for your order. Contact us to discuss your goals and get an instant quote.
Budgeting for custom action figures includes three parts:
- Per unit
Most 6-inch tall action figures with accessories cost between $8 and $12 each for an order of 5,000 toys, while 4-inch tall action figures can range from $5 to $8 each for an order of 5,000 toys. - Setup Investments
One-time costs for design work, prototyping, and tooling are additional and normally range between $20,000 to $30,000 or more, depending on the action figure's complexity and reference artwork/assets available. - Freight
Freight costs are billed separately and vary based on the order quantity, the size of the packaged action figure, and the shipping destination. We can help with an estimate once we discuss your project.
