How much does a custom figurine cost?

On 17 September 2026, we looked up the prices at 10 shops that make custom figurines in set sizes. The table shows what each one asked at each size, for one person, in the currency the shop uses. PrinYou's page doesn't say how many people its price covers. 3DSelfieStudio only marks its prices with a one-person icon.

Five of the shops that charge in US dollars make a figurine of about 10 cm. They asked between $85 and $209 for it. At 6 cm, about the size of a typical Nendo figurine, JuJuBit asked $69.99, and PrinYou and SnapFig asked $69.

Some of the shops print in full color and some paint by hand. A few don't say how the color gets there, and one also sells figurines in one color. Half of the shops show a crossed-out price next to a sale price. We list the price you would have paid that day. The last column shows whether shipping is included. Two of the shops don't mention it.

One more shop, Picture to Puppet, lists no sizes. Its figurines start at £560. They're printed in one color, and the shop can paint them by hand.

Nendo is the last row. Our figurines don't come in set sizes. If the 3D model we make from your drawing or photo comes out big, we shrink it so most figurines cost about the same. You can make yours bigger or smaller before you order, and a bigger one costs more.

JLC3DP in China prints our figurines in full-color resin. Since 3 August 2026, every full-color print we've paid for has cost $0.754 per cubic centimeter, before coupons and extra fees. That's 27 models and 30 prints, because 3 models were printed twice.

A cubic centimeter (cm³) is a cube 1 cm on each side. Count how many fit inside a figurine and you have its volume, which is how much resin the figurine is made of.

A typical Nendo figurine is about 6 cm on its longest side and uses 19.38 cm³. At $0.754 per cm³, that's $14.61 to print. This is the print alone, without shipping or taxes.

We couldn't find this rate on JLC3DP's website. Its full-color resin page only says "From $5", and its article on 3D printing costs gives no full-color rate. FacFox, another 3D printing service, lists $1.20 to $1.50 per cm³ for the same kind of full-color resin printing in an article from April 2025.

JLC3DP prices a full-color print by its volume. The 27 models we've paid to print since 3 August 2026 were about 9 to 53 cm³ each, and their price per cm³ varied by less than a tenth of a cent, whatever colors or detail they had. There's no fixed fee on top, so twice the volume costs twice as much. In the table below, the Lowest and Highest columns show how little the rate changed from one model to the next. Our older invoices had higher rates.

Volume grows much faster than height. Make a figurine twice as tall with the same shape and it also gets twice as wide and twice as deep. That's 2 x 2 x 2, so about eight times the resin and about eight times the print price. A typical 6 cm figurine costs $14.61 to print, and at 12 cm it would cost about $117. A chunky figurine uses more resin than a slim one of the same height and costs more to print.

Very small prints, under about 7 cm³, cost JLC3DP's minimum charge of about $5.22 instead.

Printing in one color costs a lot less. You can order a Nendo figurine in full color, matte white or matte black. For every model, we get JLC3DP quotes for the same file at the same size in full-color, black and white resin.

We looked at quotes for 344 models from 24 July to 17 September 2026. Black resin cost a bit over a quarter of the full-color price (27.6%), and white resin about an eighth (12.1%). The median quote, the middle one when you sort them by price, was $14.76 in full color, $4.07 in black and $1.78 in white.

A black or white print comes out all one color, with no paint. The black and white quotes include JLC3DP's standard sanding finish.

3DSelfieStudio, from the table above, sells a 5 cm figurine for AUD 30 in one color and AUD 120 in full-color resin.

About $15 of full-color printing buys a figurine around 5 to 7 cm on its longest side. A slim one can be over 8 cm long, while a chunky one stays under 5 cm. We grouped 344 full-color quotes from 24 July to 17 September 2026 by the figurine's longest side. The median quote is close to $15 in every row.

If a model's full-color quote is above about $17, we shrink it automatically until it costs about $15 to print. Cheaper ones keep their size. You can still make a figurine bigger before you order, and then it costs more.

Our orders took a median of 17.4 days from checkout until the carrier marked them delivered, not counting cancelled orders. That's about two and a half weeks. We timed 33 paid orders placed 27 May to 26 August 2026. The middle half arrived in 15.9 to 18.4 days.

Getting printed and handed to the carrier took a median of 7.6 days, and shipping from there took 10.2 days. The two don't add up to exactly 17.4, because each median is worked out on its own, from a slightly different set of orders.

All 38 tracked orders, including ones still on the way, left China with YunExpress, a parcel company. A local carrier did the last part of the trip. In the US, that was GOFO for 13 of these orders and USPS for 2.

Every delivered order here went to the US or the EU. Most of the EU ones went to the Netherlands (18 of 21), so times to other EU countries could differ.

We don't cover customs and import charges here, because they depend on your country and can change. The official pages below explain the rules.

The print prices, sizes, Nendo prices and delivery times come from our own database, as it was on 17 September 2026. Nothing on this page is about any one customer.

Median means the middle value, so half were lower and half were higher. The middle half leaves out the lowest quarter and the highest quarter.

Other shops' prices come from their product and pricing pages on 17 September 2026, for one person where the page says. We converted inch sizes to cm (1 inch is 2.54 cm). We didn't convert any currencies.
