1. What materials are the Custom bobblehead dolls made of ? Are they safe to my children?

Our custom bobblehead dolls are made of polyresin which is a special mixture of oxylite and polystone. It can be molded as needed. This material can produce great detail, such as hair texture and very fine details. Each bobblehead design we make is handcrafted and hand-painted. We never use baked polymer clay as other companies did. So our doll can last long to your next generation without any possible cracking, breaking, color fading, etc.
Our experienced manager will give you suggestions how to design the doll to 100% safe for children. However our dolls are only suitable for children more than 14 years old.

5. What type of artwork is required to make a bobble?

Hand sketches, photos, in jpg, pdf, ai, etc. It’s always best to have images from all four sides. Your bobblehead can only be as good a likeness of the person as the photographs you send. Try to send both a portrait shot of the person (a close up of their face taken from straight on), and a side-view photo showing the person’s profile. We can do a great job without a profile photo, but if you have one, please include it. If possible, the photos should have hair, facial hair, and facial expressions similar to those you want on the doll.
If you do not have posed photographs, please send the best available front view photo you have. If the photo includes other people, please indicate in your email which person is the subject for the bobblehead.

6. What are the stages of bobblehead proofs ?

Sculpt clay – we will hand sculpt the doll to resemble the primary photo you attached to the order. At this time, you will be able to make any changes to the facial propertities, nose, mouth, skin texture, etc. Changes are done if necessary at no charge to you.
Complete proof – during this stage, we will mold and paint the doll and will show you the finished product, during this phase, the only changes are colors. If you need to make mold change, there will have some mold charges.
