Top 3 Questions About Manufacturing PVC/Vinyl Figures

#1 How many toys: Quantities & Ideal Order Sizes

For mini vinyl toys of 2.5 inch tall, 3,000 toys would be our minimum order. We will typically make it to 1,500 toys for figures of 4' tall or greater. There is no issue with bigger orders for up to millions of toys.

If 1,500 or 3,000 vinyl toys are too much for your desires, polystone figurines are an option for you to consider.
#2 Timelines: Creation-to-Delivery

It takes about 20 to 26 weeks to design, prototype, manufacture and deliver an order of your custom plushies. 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' PVC vinyl figures are made-to-order and many variables affect pricing.
The cost to create an order of vinyl figures depends on:
  • Character design
  • Vinyl 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:
  1. Per unit
     For an order of 2,000 toys, most 5-inch tall vinyl toys with packaging cost between $6 and $10 each. For an order of 3,000 toys, 3-inch tall vinyl mini figures will vary from $4 to $8 each.
  2. Setup Investments
     One-time costs for design work, prototyping, and tooling are additional and normally range between $10,000 to $18,000 or more, depending on the vinyl figure's complexity and reference artwork/assets available.
  3. 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.
