Whether you’re an indie toy designer or a brand owner looking to enter the collectible figure market, selling custom PVC, vinyl, or resin figures online is more accessible than ever—but also more competitive.
This guide will walk you through every step: from shaping your concept to finding the right manufacturer, building your brand, and choosing platforms that bring real sales.
Efnisyfirlit
Define Your Figure Concept and Target Audience
Before you sell, you need a crystal-clear idea of what you’re offering.
Ask yourself:
Is your figure based on original characters, pop culture, or client commissions?
Who is your target audience—collectors, anime fans, gamers, or niche communities?
What kind of material best suits your design: vinyl, PVC or resin?
🎯 Tip: The more unique and niche your figure concept, the easier it is to build a loyal fanbase.
Choose the Right Material for Your Custom Figures
Each material offers a different feel, durability, and aesthetic:
| Efni | Features | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Vinyl | Lightweight, smooth texture | Sofubi, collectibles |
| PVC | Affordable, flexible details | Toys with movable parts |
| Resín | High detail, heavier | Art pieces, statues |
💡 Pro Tip: If you’re not sure, ask your manufacturer for recommendations based on your design.
