Custom figure manufacturing, from prototype to production run

You already have a character, a mascot or a 3D file, and you want to see it for real, in a few hundred or a few thousand copies? That is exactly what we did for our own EQSO art toys. We take care of your project from file preparation to boxes delivered, with one single point of contact in France.

Who is it for?

• Brands with a 2D mascot that want to turn it into a figure (premium merchandise, client gift, licensed product).
• Creators and studios who have a 3D file and are looking for a partner for mass production.
• Shops, museums, clubs and events that want an exclusive object to sell or give away.
• Brands preparing a launch that want a collectible object around their product.

What’s included

• Analysis of your character or file: what can be manufactured, what needs adapting.
• 3D preparation for production: part splitting, wall thickness, assembly points, undercuts.
• The prototype, 3D-printed in resin, to check volumes and proportions.
• Colour references (Pantone) and the paint plan.
• Follow-up of mould making and the pre-production sample.
• Mass production, quality control and packaging.
• Shipping and customs to your door, worldwide with rare exceptions, by sea or by air: it is included in the quote.

Which material for which figure?

The right material depends on your quantity, your budget and the finish you want. Here are the main families:

What about resin? It needs no steel mould and suits a few dozen pieces, but requires a lot of manual labour. We do not offer it: our minimum orders start at 300 pieces, in vinyl.

How it works

1. Brief and analysis: quantity, size, budget, launch date, use (toy or collectible).
2. 3D preparation of the model for manufacturing.
3. 3D-printed prototype, to approve in hand.
4. Moulds and pre-production sample: this is the “final” figure you approve before the run.
5. Mass production and painting (spray, pad printing, hand finishing depending on the design).
6. Quality control and packaging.
7. Delivery.

Deliverables

• An approved prototype, then a pre-production sample.
• Your figures, produced, checked and packed.
• The production 3D files, the packaging files and the colour plan.
• The test reports and compliance certificates matching the figure’s intended use.

Options

• Packaging: polybag, simple box, collector box, blind box with display.
• Certificate of authenticity and numbering for a limited edition.
• Special finishes: metallic, glow-in-the-dark, flocking… depending on feasibility.
• Character design if you are starting from scratch: see our custom mascot design service.
