What a Custom Figurine Looks Like

Everything on this page was made in our studio. Each piece is modelled to a brief, none comes from a catalogue.

How Much a Figurine from a Photo Costs

  • •Size of the figurine
  • •Technology: FDM for larger pieces, SLA resin for small, fine detail
  • •Base, lettering and other elements
  • •Surface finishing

Which photos to send

  • •At least one sharp photo of the face from the front and one from the side
  • •A photo of the whole figure, ideally from behind as well
  • •Close-ups of what matters: glasses, a tattoo, a logo, clothes

FAQ

How much does a figurine from a photo cost?

At OutsideDbox a 10 cm figurine starts at about €24 excluding VAT. The final price depends on detail, because modelling hours affect it most. You get an exact price within 24 hours of sending your photos.

Which photos should I send?

At least one sharp photo of the face from the front and one from the side, a photo of the whole figure, and close-ups of what matters, such as glasses, a tattoo or clothes. If you only have one old photo, send it anyway and we will tell you what can be made from it.

How long does a figurine take?

Modelling a simple to medium model takes 2 to 7 working days, and printing a part up to 250 mm takes 3 to 5 working days. Joining parts and surface finishing add time. If you have a specific date, put it in your request.

Do you make figurines for private customers?

Yes. OutsideDbox works with companies and with people looking for a single piece as a gift.

Is the figurine suitable for play or as a cake topper?

The figurine is made for display, not for play. It is not edible and we do not make it for direct food contact, so place it on a base when used on a cake.

What material is the figurine made of?

We use FDM printing for larger figurines and SLA resin for small pieces with fine detail.
