Custom Figures

Custom figure commissions

From your idea to a one-of-a-kind piece.

You do not need to have a 3D file to get started. Tell us what figure you have in mind and we will work with you to find the best way to turn it into a physical resin-printed, hand-painted piece.

How it works

A process designed to guide you from the first idea to the finished figure.

01

Tell us your idea

Get in touch and tell us what figure you would like to create. You can send illustrations, photos, character references, pose, clothing, expression, approximate size and any detail that matters to you. You do not need to have an STL yet.

02

We study the project

We discuss the project with you and check whether it is viable. If you already have an STL, we review its scale, part separation, joints, stability and suitability for resin printing. If no model exists, we define the digital sculpting work required.

03

We quote the 3D sculpt

When the STL needs to be created from scratch, we prepare the references and Hokori Studio evaluates the sculpting work. The price depends on the complexity of the character, pose, accessories, clothing, base and composition. You will know the cost before any sculpting begins.

04

Reserve your production slot

Once the project has been defined, you reserve your place through our Custom Figure product. The slot secures your position in our printing and painting schedule. If the STL still needs to be created, your production place remains reserved while the model is being developed.

05

We create your STL with you

If 3D sculpting is required, development begins with Hokori Studio. You will stay in contact with the sculptor throughout the process so you can review the progress, provide feedback and approve the agreed details before the figure moves into production.

3D sculpting with Hokori Studio

If your figure does not yet exist as a 3D file, we can develop an exclusive sculpt for your project together with Hokori Studio. During this stage you can stay in contact with the sculptor, review the design and help ensure the figure matches the agreed concept before it is printed.

Custom 3D sculpting is quoted separately from printing, painting and shipping.

Wait for your production turn

Once the STL is finished and approved, your project is ready to enter production when your reserved slot arrives. If you supplied a print-ready STL from the beginning, you move directly to this stage after securing your place.

07

Printing and painting

When your turn arrives, we prepare the files, print the different parts in resin, assemble and prepare the surfaces, and finally hand-paint the figure according to the finish agreed for your project.

Two paths, one result

Do you already have the STL?

A Yes, I already have an STL

We review your file

Send us the model before placing your order. We check that it is suitable for production, you reserve your slot, and then you wait for your printing and painting turn.

REVIEW → SLOT → PRODUCTION
B I do not have an STL

We create it with you

We study your idea, Hokori Studio quotes the sculpting work, you reserve your slot, and the STL is developed with you while your production place is already secured.

Frequently asked questions

Before you begin

Do I need an STL to commission a figure?

No. You can contact us with only an idea and references. If a suitable file does not exist, we can develop a 3D model specifically for your project together with Hokori Studio.

Is 3D sculpting included in the price of the figure?

No. Creating a custom STL is a separate service and is quoted according to the complexity of the project. You will always know the sculpting price before work begins.

Do I have to pay before knowing how much the sculpt will cost?

No. We first discuss your idea, check its viability and request a sculpting quotation. Once you have all the information, you can decide whether you would like to continue.

When do I reserve my production place?

After you have spoken with us and the project has been defined. The reservation is made through the Custom Figure product and secures your position in our printing and painting queue.

Why reserve the slot before the STL is finished?

Because developing the model can take time. By reserving your place from the beginning, the sculpting process can move forward while you are already part of our production schedule. Once the STL is complete, you do not have to start again by waiting for a new slot.

Can I take part in the design of my figure?

Yes. If the STL is developed with Hokori Studio, you will remain in contact with the sculptor during the process so you can review the progress and provide feedback on the agreed design elements.

I already have my own STL. What happens then?

Send it to us before placing your order so we can review its viability. If it is correctly prepared for production, you do not need to commission sculpting: you reserve your slot and wait for your turn.

Can I send any STL?

The file must be technically suitable for printing and you must have the necessary permission to use and reproduce it. Before accepting the project, we will review the model and let you know if we find any issues.

Does reserving a slot mean you start my figure immediately?

Not necessarily. The reservation secures your position in our schedule. Physical production begins when your turn arrives.

Can I choose the size and finish?

Yes. Size, scale and finish are defined during the initial project review because these factors affect the price and production requirements.

Have a figure in mind?

Tell us your idea.

Contact us before reserving your slot. We will review the project with you, tell you whether a new STL is needed and answer the questions required to get started.

Only reserve your slot after speaking with us and defining the project.
