Custom Bobblehead Process
Custom bobbleheads are a special kind of gift because they usually represent people, companies, animals, or events. Many custom bobblehead vendors operate as eCommerce companies with no physical store location so shopping for these products can be a challenge, especially for first-time customers. During the process, we show head proofs, body proofs (if full custom is utilized) and color proofs. Each step can be approved or modified, if a change is requested, we will amend the doll and provide a new proof - if it is approved we will bake that step and move towards another proof. As approvals are received, we bake and process your dolls, we can not move backwards.
Introduction
Tip 1 Body TypeBobblehead sites offer hundreds of body types
but there’s really two main categories: Fully Custom and Standard Body
Fully Custom can be designed head-to-toe. Standard Bodies are based on certain models like a businessman (pictured), nurse, baseball player, etc.
Tip 2 Head BobbleBelieve it or not, some bobblehead websites
charge extra for “head bobble action.” It does not come standard. The lesson here: NEVER assume
anything when it comes to your bobblehead.
No head bobble action, no bobblehead!
Tip 3 Props/AccessoriesBobblehead props and accessories can include a number
of things like hats, glasses, tattoos, logos, handheld objects, and more. Most result in additional charges
that are small ($8-10) but add up quickly.
Some companies don’t list these extra costs on their site.
Instead, the consumer is surprised with an “adjusted”
bill in the end.
Tip 4 BaseA regular base is typically included in the initial price of your bobblehead. However, a larger or
customized base (pictured below) will cost more.
Words and lettering on the base is an additional charge.
Some sites use a flat rate while others charge per
word or letter.
Tip 5 MaterialQuality custom bobbleheads are made from a durable
polyresin material. Some companies opt for polymer clay instead because it shortens the process.
Unfortunately for consumers, polymer clay is a CHEAPER and much more FRAGILE
substitute.
Tip 6 ProofingProofing is the process whereby customers actually
approve, deny, and request changes to their bobblehead. This may be included in the initial cost or an a additional
charge. Not all proofing processes are created equal.
Some sites allow for unlimited proofing while others grant
you ONE proof per stage.
Tip 7 Extra CopiesKeep an eye on pricing when ordering copies of a
bobblehead. Some companies offer a discounted price while others charge full price for the extra copy.
Most companies provide discounts on bulk orders. Ordering 50-100 copies of
a bobblehead could get you a 50% discount.
Tip 8 ShippingIf you’re ordering multiple bobbleheads, beware of
shipping rates. Some sites use flat rate shipping. Others charge per bobblehead, which can be quite costly.
You can choose ships within 2-3 weeks standard
processing, 15 days urgent processing, or 10 days very
urgent processing when order online and checkout.
ConclusionCustom bobbleheads are a great gift idea but the process itself can be daunting for new and returning customers. A good website combined with a great customer service team will alleviate most issues but the consumer should always be prepared. Perform your due diligence to ensure you end up with the desired bobblehead product at the right price.
