Concept & Digital Sculpting

The journey begins with translating 2D character designs and illustrations into highly detailed, production-ready 3D models. Our skilled digital sculptors work closely with licensors to capture the character's likeness, pose, and intricate details with absolute precision, preparing the model for physical prototyping and mold creation.

Prototyping & Molding

Physical prototypes are generated from the approved 3D data using advanced 3D printing or traditional sculpting. These prototypes are refined by hand until perfection is achieved. Highly durable, precision-engineered steel injection molds are then developed from these prototypes, crucial for mass production accuracy.

Injection Molding

Utilizing our state-of-the-art injection molding machines, high-grade PVC and ABS plastics are injected into the precision molds under high pressure. This process produces figure parts with incredible accuracy, consistency, and the structural integrity required for delicate details.

Painting & Assembly

After molding, parts are prepared for painting. Our expert painters use airbrushes and fine brushes for detailed work, applying layers of paint, shading, and washes to bring the character to life. Parts are then carefully assembled by hand by our skilled team, often requiring specialized techniques for complex figures.
