Important Tips For The Custom Bobbleheads Process

1. Custom Bobblehead Process

2. Introduction 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.

3. Tip 1Body Type Bobblehead 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.

4. Tip 2 Head Bobble Believe 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!

5. Tip 3 Props/Accessories Bobblehead 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.

6. Tip 4 Base A 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.

7. Tip 5 Material Quality 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.

8. Tip 6 Proofing Proofing 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.

9. Tip 7 Extra Copies Keep 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.

10. Tip 8Shipping If 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.

11. Conclusion Custom 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.
