Character goods OEM for Japan-facing projects
PVC Car Dashboard Figure
OEM & Mass Production
We help develop character mascots designed for placement on car dashboards and center consoles as OEM mass-production goods. From planning to base style, suction cups, anti-slip pads, heat-related conditions, packaging, inspection, and delivery to Japan, each item is reviewed as a B2B production project.
- Review size, center of gravity, bottom shape, and fixing method for in-car use
- Support corporate gifts, tourism goods, and automotive event promotional items
- Manage sample approval and pre-shipment inspection before mass delivery
Projects using unverified character rights or vehicle-use specifications that cannot be reviewed may be declined for licensing and safety-risk reasons.

Pre-shipmentAppearance, base, packingWhat is a PVC car dashboard figure?
A PVC car dashboard figure is a mass-produced character item designed to sit inside a vehicle as a mascot or dashboard accessory. Unlike a general desktop figure, it needs to consider vehicle temperature changes, vibration, driver visibility, dashboard material compatibility, bottom shape, and fixing parts.
Car Mascots
Review size, center of gravity, bottom shape, and fixing method for dashboard stability.
Corporate Gifts
Turn brand mascots, store characters, and campaign prizes into in-car accessories.
Tourism Goods
Plan regional characters, travel themes, souvenir series, and retail packaging.
Automotive Event Gifts
Organize lead time, lot size, and inspection standards for dealers, exhibitions, and campaigns.
Which in-car placement scenarios should be planned?
Dashboards, windshield-side areas, and center consoles require different base widths, fixing strength, and visibility considerations. Planning both the display style and placement stability early helps reduce usability issues after mass production.
- Review visible position, direct sunlight exposure, and dashboard surface material
- Adjust packaging and usage notes depending on giveaway or retail sales use
- For multi-character series, standardize base size and figure height rules
How should size, material, base, and fixing method be confirmed?
Car dashboard figures need more than a cute appearance. The project should confirm dimensions that resist tipping, bottom shape, fixing parts, and deformation risks after packing. Separating these specifications early makes quotation and sampling easier.
- Body size
- Height, width, depth, center of gravity, and base connection
- Material setup
- PVC body, ABS base, transparent suction cup, anti-slip pad
- Fixing method
- Flat base, suction cup, anti-slip, adhesive pad, freestanding type
- Packaging
- OPP, window box, backing card, tray, carton, usage notes
What safety and quality conditions matter for in-car use?
Vehicle goods face varied usage conditions, so usage notes and specification limits should be organized before release.
| Checkpoint | What to Review | Pre-production Decision | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heat Exposure | Direct sunlight, summer vehicle temperature, storage after packing | Review material, paint, and bonding method | Testing can be discussed |
| Driver Visibility | Placement, height, windshield-side area | Organize usage notes and suggested placement | Safety wording should be cautious |
| Surface Fit | Texture, curved surfaces, leather-like resin, anti-slip mats | Select fixing method | No universal fixing assumption |
| Long-term Use | Suction aging, adhesive residue, color transfer, deformation | Review materials and usage notes | Varies by project conditions |
How should base and fixing options be selected?
The best fixing method depends on whether the item is a promotional giveaway, retail product, event prize, or specified-placement accessory.
| Method | Feature | Best For | Review Point |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flat Base | Stable appearance and easier production control | Retail goods, series products | Bottom size, center of gravity, tip-over resistance |
| Transparent Suction Cup | Looks like an in-car accessory | Automotive events, promotional goods | Contact surface, part strength, aging |
| Anti-slip Pad | Easy to place on dashboards | Novelty goods, tourism goods | Surface material, dirt, thickness |
| Adhesive Pad | Provides stronger fixing feel | Specified-placement projects | Residue, reattachment, usage notes |
How does PVC car dashboard figure OEM production proceed?
We separate approval points from design review to 3D sculpting, base planning, painted samples, packaging approval, mass production, and inspection.
Project Review
Confirm use case, placement, character design, size, quantity, and sales method.
Sculpt Design
Review 3D sculpting, split lines, tooling direction, and connection to the base.
Base Planning
Select flat bases, suction cups, anti-slip pads, or adhesive options according to use.
Color Sample
Check colors, paint areas, facial details, logo feasibility, and finishing accuracy.
Packaging Approval
Review window boxes, OPP bags, backing cards, trays, cartons, and usage notes.
Production & QC
Inspect appearance, paintwork, fixing parts, quantity, and packing before shipment.
How should packaging and SKU management be planned?
Dashboard figures may need window boxes for retail display or simple OPP/backing-card packaging for promotional distribution. For multi-character series, SKU-level inspection rules help prevent mismatches between figures, bases, and packaging.
- Window box, OPP, backing card, tray, carton, and usage-note requirements
- Character, color, base style, and set-packing SKU management
- Packing specifications aligned with sales country, delivery site, and event use
What inspections are performed before and after mass production?
Before production, shape, color, and base conditions are reviewed. After production, appearance, paintwork, fixing parts, packaging, and quantity are checked according to project requirements.
For car dashboard goods, both visual accuracy and placement stability matter.
- Appearance: dirt, scratches, burrs, deformation, paint unevenness
- Structure: base joint, bottom stability, suction or anti-slip parts
- Packaging: window box, tray, usage notes, carton quantity
- Shipment: SKU, quantity, carton strength, delivery conditions
| Inspection Item | Example Standard | Method |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | No obvious scratches, dirt, color mismatch, or paint overflow | Visual inspection |
| Base | No tilt, wobble, or bonding defect | Manual check |
| Fixing Part | No missing or damaged suction/anti-slip parts | Part verification |
| Packaging | No crushed box, tray shift, or label error | Pre-shipment check |
| Quantity | SKU quantity, carton quantity, and spare parts match | Quantity check |

QC StandardFrequently Asked Questions
Can PVC car dashboard figures be made from one piece?
They are generally intended for B2B mass production. Specifications, quantity, base method, and packaging need to be reviewed first.
Can you produce suction cup or anti-slip pad versions?
Potentially yes. The fixing method is reviewed according to the contact surface, size, weight, and intended usage environment.
Can heat exposure inside a vehicle be reviewed?
Review items vary by material, paint, base, and packaging. Test requirements can be discussed according to the project conditions.
Can I request a quote with only design images?
A rough consultation is possible. For a formal quote, size, quantity, base method, packaging, and target schedule are needed.
Can you support window boxes or backing-card packaging?
Yes. Window boxes, OPP bags, backing cards, trays, and carton marks can be discussed according to the use case.
Can usage notes for in-car placement be discussed?
Yes. Placement, heat exposure, driver visibility, and adhesive-part handling can be discussed according to sales conditions.
Can you support multiple characters in one series?
Yes. Character, color, base-style, and set-packing variations can be managed with SKU-level inspection rules.
Can confidential unreleased characters be discussed?
Yes, after confirming NDA requirements, data-sharing scope, and sample management rules.
