How Each Figure Is Made
The production process starts with a 3D model of the figure, sliced into layers and printed in Premium PLA filament on an FDM printer. Printing takes several hours per figure depending on size and resolution settings. The output at this stage has visible layer lines — the signature surface texture of FDM printing.
After printing, each figure goes through hand-finishing: sanding the exterior surface to remove layer lines and create a smooth, paint-ready surface. This step is entirely manual and takes skill — different surface areas of the figure (curves vs. flat planes, tight detail areas vs. open surfaces) need different approaches. It's the step that separates display-quality pieces from raw prints.
Quality Check Before Shipping
Every figure is individually inspected before packing. The check covers surface finish quality, structural integrity (no cracks or delamination), and accurate colourway. Pieces that don't pass aren't shipped — they go back for rework or are discarded.
This is a per-piece process, not a statistical sample check. It's slower than batch inspection, but it's how we can ship with confidence that what you receive matches what you ordered.
Packaging and Shipping
Figures that pass QC are packed in protective packaging with a care card and shipped. US flat shipping is $6.99 per order regardless of how many figures are in it. Tracking is provided via email once the order ships.
Production is a small-batch operation — not factory scale. That's intentional. The hand-finishing and per-piece QC model doesn't scale to mass production, and we're not trying to make it. The product is the result of that process.
