Character goods OEM for Japan-facing projects
PVC Mini Figure
OEM & Mass Production
We organize PVC mini figure production as a B2B project, from planning and design review to sample approval, mass production, inspection, individual packaging, and delivery for Japan. Blind box figures, corporate mascots, cultural goods, and event-oriented small 3D character goods can be discussed.
- Series development, multiple SKU management, and blind box packaging support
- PVC / ABS / resin / sofubi material selection reviewed by project requirements
- Quality control and delivery support based on Japan-facing inspection standards
Note: One-off personal production and unofficial items without confirmed rights are generally not accepted in order to respect copyright and licensing requirements.

From design image review to 3D prototype, white sample, colored sample, mass production, and inspection, the project is managed through clear approval points.
Planning & Design
Character design, specifications, size, material, and SKU structure are reviewed.
Sculpting & Engineering
3D modeling, mold design, movement range, assembly, and draft direction are confirmed.
Prototype Sample
Material, molding method, white sample, shape, assembly, burrs, and strength are checked.
Colored Sample
Paint, color tone, printing, expression details, and finish accuracy are reviewed before mass production.
Approval for Mass Production
After sample approval, packaging requirements, insertion ratio, and inspection standards are fixed.
Mass Production & Inspection
Mass production, full or sampling inspection, SKU sorting, and pre-shipment checks are carried out.
How should PVC, ABS, resin, and sofubi be selected?
The suitable material and process depend on design detail, planned quantity, budget, desired weight, and sales format.
| Material | Characteristics | Benefits | Main use cases | Painting / printing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PVC | General-purpose material suitable for mass production | Good balance of cost and tooling | Capsule toys and blind box figures | Full-color painting / painting support |
| ABS | Hard material for sharper shapes | Suitable for thin parts and bases | Display models and reinforced parts | Painting / printing support |
| Resin | High-detail material with a premium feel | Excellent detail and texture expression | High-end figures and limited editions | Painting support |
| Sofubi | Soft material with a warm handmade feel | Creates a distinctive texture and touch | Retro-style and art toy projects | Painting support |
Can multiple SKUs and blind box packaging be supported?
Yes. Multiple characters, color variations, SKU management, blind box packaging, individual packaging, carton labels, and pre-shipment quantity checks can be discussed according to project requirements.
- Character variations, expression changes, color variants, and secret item planning
- OPP bags, blind boxes, color boxes, inner trays, and outer carton labels
- Random insertion, set packing, specified ratios, and SKU sorting
SKU Lineup Example
Characters, colors, and expression variations are organized by SKU.
Brand Box Example
Blind boxes, individual packaging, and carton labeling are reviewed by project requirements.
Tray Packing Example
Inner trays and boxed sets can be planned for set sales, lottery prizes, and retail display.
What inspections are performed before and after mass production?
Before mass production, sample conditions are checked. After production, appearance, painting, quantity, SKU sorting, individual packaging, and carton labels are reviewed according to project requirements.
Quality is managed against Japan-facing delivery standards for reliable production and shipment.
- Incoming inspection: raw materials and parts are checked on arrival
- Process inspection: molding, painting, and printing processes are reviewed
- Full inspection: burrs, chips, stains, and paint unevenness are checked
- Shipment inspection: appearance, quantity, SKU, and packing condition are confirmed
| Inspection item | Example standard | Check method |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | No stains, scratches, burrs, or deformation | Visual inspection |
| Coloring | No major color difference, overflow, or missing paint | Color sample check |
| Structure | Base stability, part strength, and fitting | Manual inspection |
| SKU | Type, quantity, insertion ratio, and labels | Quantity matching |
| Packaging | OPP, color box, inner tray, and carton labels | Pre-shipment check |

What kind of small goods are PVC mini figures?
PVC mini figures are OEM goods that turn characters or mascots into small 3D items. They are suitable for projects developed across multiple SKUs, such as blind boxes, lottery prizes, cultural goods, corporate novelties, and event merchandise.
Blind Boxes
Multiple characters, expression changes, and color variations can be managed by SKU for random insertion and individual packaging.
Character IP Goods
Official small goods projects can proceed with review cycles, color checks, and unreleased data management in mind.
Lottery Prizes & Event Sales
Schedule, packaging, and pre-shipment inspection can be organized for limited releases and venue sales.
Corporate Novelties
Corporate mascots and store characters can be turned into small 3D goods based on distribution requirements.
How are size, material, base, and coloring confirmed?
The smaller the figure, the more important it is to confirm detail expression, painting range, stability, and part strength. Size, material, base, coloring range, split lines, and packaging method should be organized early.
- Size
- Height, width, depth, and base requirement
- Prototype
- 2D design, three-view drawings, 3D data, and samples
- Coloring
- Number of colors, color cards, painting range, and print feasibility
- Packaging
- OPP, blind box, color box, inner tray, and outer carton
Frequently Asked Questions
Can PVC mini figures be made from just one piece?
In principle, this service is for B2B mass production. Consultation is available after checking specifications, quantity, SKU count, and packaging conditions.
Can we consult with only design images?
Yes. Rough ideas and reference images can be used for consultation. For a formal quotation, size, quantity, SKU, and packaging conditions are needed.
Can blind box packaging be supported?
Consultation is available according to SKU structure, insertion method, individual packaging, carton labels, and inspection requirements.
What is the difference between PVC and resin?
PVC has good mass production efficiency and cost balance, while resin is suitable for detailed expression and a heavier feel. The choice depends on use case and quantity.
Can small parts and bases be produced?
They may be possible, but size, strength, draft direction, and assembly method need to be confirmed in advance.
Can unreleased IP projects be discussed?
Yes. NDA terms, data sharing scope, and sample management methods can be reviewed before proceeding.
