Cartoon Figures

A character sheet is ideal, meaning front, side and back views plus colour references. If you have a 3D model, even better, since it removes almost all the interpretation from the pattern work.

A single front illustration is enough to begin, and plenty of projects start that way. Just understand that everything your reference does not show becomes our judgement call, and that is where first sample revisions come from.

The method is chosen to suit the design and confirmed during sampling. Some faces read better with one technique, some with another, and the right answer depends on the level of detail in the original art, the size of the finished plush and how the eyes are drawn.

Send your character art and we will tell you which approach suits it and why, rather than defaulting to whichever is cheapest for us.

Close on the front view, and interpreted everywhere your reference does not reach. That is not evasion, it is the honest description of what turning flat art into a stuffed object involves.

We photograph the sample from the same angle as your reference so you can compare directly rather than judging from memory. Mark up what needs changing and we rebuild. The approved sample then becomes the fixed reference for the entire run.

Chibi proportions with an enlarged head suit most character plush, because at small size the head is what carries recognition. A realistic proportion looks elegant in artwork and often reads as generic once shrunk to 20cm.

If your character has a distinctive silhouette, a hairstyle or a costume element that defines them, tell us. We can exaggerate that feature slightly so it survives the size reduction, which usually matters more than matching the ratio exactly.

Yes, and sets are a large share of what we produce here. Members share a body pattern while each keeps distinct hair, face and costume, which is what makes a set look like one family rather than several unrelated toys.

Produce the whole set in one run if you can. Making members months apart introduces fabric dye lot variation and small proportion drift, and collectors notice immediately when the set is lined up together.

Facial placement is fixed against the approved sample rather than positioned by eye. On a chibi face the features sit inside a few centimetres, so a couple of millimetres of drift visibly changes the expression.

If you are comparing suppliers, ask each of them specifically how face placement is controlled through the run. It is the single question that separates factories in this category, and a vague answer tells you a great deal.

Yes. Capes, sashes, multi layer robes, gloves, trims and hard accessory pieces are all built as separate components rather than printed onto the body.

Be aware that complex costumes drive cost and lead time more than the character itself does. If budget is tight, we can often suggest which layers carry the recognition and which can be simplified without anyone noticing.

Yes. Independent artists, doujin circles, webtoon creators and VTubers all commission here, often funding the run through pre orders.

You do not need a tech pack or a design team. Send what you have, tell us your realistic budget and volume, and we will tell you honestly what is achievable at that level instead of quoting something you cannot use.

Yes, and we would rather plan it properly than discover the date late. Tell us the fulfilment deadline before we quote and we will work backwards from it.

Two things routinely catch creators out. Sample revision rounds are hard to compress, since each one is a physical rebuild. And factory capacity across China tightens sharply before Chinese New Year, when plants close for an extended period. Both are manageable if you tell us early.

MOQ depends on how many characters and costume variants you need, since each one carries its own pattern set and material run. A single character has a lower minimum than a five member set.

Tell us the number of characters, the costume complexity and your rough volume, and we will confirm the exact figure with your quotation.

Standard is an individual polybag with the safety warning required for your destination market, then cartoned. Custom hangtags, header cards and gift boxes are produced to your artwork.

For merchandise sold online, consider a printed box even though it adds cost. Unboxing is part of the product in this market, and it shows up directly in customer photos, reviews and social posts.

We accept bank transfer (T/T) only, structured as a 30 percent deposit with the 70 percent balance paid before shipment.

EXW, FOB, CIF and DAP pricing are all available, so you can choose whichever incoterm fits how your freight is already organised.
