How to Make a Prototype Sample for Your Custom Toy

Creating a sample is one of the most exciting and important steps in custom toy production. We specialize in fast, high-quality prototyping to bring your ideas to life — whether you’re making vinyl toys, PVC figures, or resin collectibles.

Here’s how our sample-making process works:


📝 Step 1: Share Your Design or Concept

Before making a prototype, we need a clear idea of your toy. You can provide:

  • Sketches or reference images
  • 2D illustrations (.AI, .PSD, .PDF)
  • 3D models (.STL, .OBJ, .ZTL, etc.)
  • Toy size, material (vinyl, PVC, resin), quantity idea

Don’t have a 3D file? No problem. Our sculpting team can turn your 2D idea into a 3D model!


🧊 Step 2: 3D Sculpting or Modeling (If Needed)

If you don’t have a 3D model, we offer:

  • Digital sculpting by professional toy artists
  • Corrections and revisions based on your feedback
  • Final approval before moving to the physical sample

Already have a 3D file? Great — we’ll check it for print readiness and start directly.


🖨️ Step 3: Prototype Sample Creation

Depending on your toy’s complexity and material, we use:

  • 3D printing (for resin samples or detailed parts)
  • Soft vinyl mold (for vinyl toys)
  • Silicone mold (for simple shapes or low volume)

Once printed or cast, we polish, assemble, and hand-paint the prototype for review.

🎨 Painting is fully customized to your reference or Pantone colors.


⏱️ How Long Does It Take?

StageTime Estimate
3D Sculpting3–7 days
Prototype Production5–10 days
Painting & Finishing2–5 days

📦 Total time: As fast as 2–3 weeks depending on project complexity.


📸 Step 4: Approval & Revisions

We’ll send detailed photos and videos of the sample from all angles. You can:

  • Approve for mass production
  • Request minor revisions (colors, details, logos, etc.)

Need a physical sample shipped to you? We can ship worldwide with DHL/FedEx.


🔁 Step 5: Ready for Mass Production

Once the prototype is approved, we proceed to:

  • Mold-making for mass production
  • Color separation & part planning
  • Final quality inspection

💡 The sample ensures your vision is perfectly translated to the final product.
