What are premade bodies?

The complexion, hair style and color along with the sculpted head will look like your photo. So disregard the head on our samples.
A premade body cannot be altered from the type of pose or clothing the doll is wearing as in our sample.
If our sample shows a logo, text or a hat, it will not be included on your doll unless selected on the order form. (Fees apply)
You can modify the clothing colors on the doll if you select the change color option. (Fee apply) This option, allows any part of the doll to be modified in any color. This includes any doll accessories applicable.
If you need to have a different pose of different type of clothing, you will have to create a full head to toe doll in order for us to sculpt the doll as you may like. Our website shows many premade samples to choose from. We recommend taking a look to see if one can work for you. Also, try our search bar in the middle of the top to make searching a little easier.

Pick how tall you want your custom bobblehead doll.
By default our custom bobblehead dolls are 7 inches tall. This is the industry standard.
During the online design process, you can choose the size you would like.
- 7 inches
- 9 inches
- 12 inches
- 16 inches
- Larger on some items
It is important to understand the following. A 7 inch doll compared to a 9 inch doll is not only 2 inches higher. The entire proportion of the doll is larger making it wide as well as high. This holds true with all sizes.
Some of our pieces are either on the ground sitting or in a car. These are not true to the size you select. They will be proportional based on the pose and end up smaller overall.
Base sizes
Most bases are as follows (some with exception)
- Circular - usually 3 inches - 3.25 inches round. About 1/2 inch high
- Square - usually 3.5 inches square. About 1/2 inch high
- Rectangular - usually 3 inches by 4 inches. About 1/2 inch high
- Custom bases will vary depending on what is desired
Custom bobblehead doll proofing
What is Bobblehead Proofing? Our dolls are created with your help. We offer proofs during the different steps of creation of your hand sculpted custom bobblehead doll. This means a great deal when creating your custom bobblehead doll to help ensure greater satisfaction.
Why do I want Bobblehead Doll Proofing? We do not know the person in the photo/s that you will provide to us. And in most cases you do know them; you can assist us to make modifications in each step of the process. We can provide better products with amazing results. Second, we may miss an important feature that you can point out and allow us to modify. We only succeed if we can ensure that ours dolls are received better than expected. By doing so, we ensure the continued success of referrals and reorders.
What type of proofs do I see? It truly depends on the type of doll you order or the material you choose. During the custom bobblehead process, we can provide complexion proofs, head proofs, body proofs (if full custom is utilized) and full color completed proofs. Each step can be approved or modified while in that step. If a change is requested, we will amend the doll proof and provide a revised proof for approval. If the new proof is approved we will bake the mold in the step and move forward towards another type of proof. As approvals are received, we continue to bake and process your dolls.
Super important - Some of our production options such as 1-2 weeks or 1 week will only have internal proofing only. We make the dolls, use a internal proofer and then send the dolls. If your timeline permits, we highly suggest a 2-3 or longer time line so you can provide the approvals. This yields greater satisfaction.
Once the approval is provided in a stage, you cannot longer modify the mold. This is crucial in complexion proofs and clay head / body proofs. Once approved the item is baked. Once baked, only colors can be modified. To make a structure change on an approved head/body will result in a resculpt fee.
