Custom vinyl toy manufacturing
Turn your character concepts into durable hollow soft vinyl figures. We handle precision rotational slush molding, multi-part articulation, and custom matte colorway runs tailored for independent artists, IP studios, and collector labels.
Tooling Reference
Hollow Sofubi construction with tight seam tolerances
Engineered for pure form and distinct colorways.
Soft vinyl and Sofubi production allows independent artists and global IP brands to produce distinct hollow figures with tactile heft, crisp joint engineering, and limitless pigment formulations.
Specialty colorway pours
Slush-molded vinyl poured with controlled dual-pigment swirls and UV-reactive phosphorescent powders. Each figure in the edition exhibits a unique marbled pattern while preserving exact outer dimensional accuracy.
Header-card bag packaging
Traditional Sofubi polybag packaging with stapled 350gsm coated artboard header cards. Printed with custom offset artwork, foil stamp options, and pre-punched euro-slots for retail hanging display.
About Our Product Visuals
Due to client confidentiality and intellectual property protection, many product visuals on this website are AI-generated concept illustrations. They are intended to showcase customization possibilities and manufacturing applications, rather than represent completed production projects. Actual products are developed based on approved designs, materials, and samples.

From digital concept to finished soft vinyl figures
Every custom vinyl toy follows an exacting engineering cycle combining traditional copper electroforming craftsmanship with modern quality control standards.
Digital 3D wax sculpt preparation
3–5 daysWe refine your 3D digital file into production-ready wax masters, adjusting wall thickness, parting lines, and undercut geometries specifically for rotational vinyl casting.
Electroformed copper slush molds
10–14 daysWax masters undergo high-precision electrolytic copper plating to produce durable, high-fidelity electroformed metal mold cavities that capture ultra-fine surface textures.
Rotational slush casting and thermal de-molding
Batch dependentLiquid PVC or Sofubi plastisol is metered into heated copper molds, rotated in thermal oil baths, and pulled by hand while warm to preserve tactile flexibility and seam integrity.
Copper spray mask painting and detail application
Batch dependentArtisans apply multi-layer lacquer finishes using custom-cut copper spray stencils, pad printing for micro-graphics, and hand-brushed weathering for custom colorways.
Header card polybag or rigid box assembly
2–4 daysEach figure passes multi-point dimensional and aesthetic QC inspections before entering final packaging—classic staple-header polybags, blister packs, or custom foil-stamped rigid boxes.
Electroformed copper mold precision
Unlike standard aluminum tooling, seamless electroformed copper molds reproduce delicate organic textures, sharp horn points, and matte skin textures with zero draft-angle compromise.
- Zero-shrinkage copper tooling transfer
- Medical & toy safety compliant vinyl (EN71-3 / ASTM F963)
- Custom articulated neck, arm, and waist cut joints
- Run sizes from pilot batches to full series, confirmed per project
Production readiness and quality standards
Prepare your design assets for rotocasting tooling while our engineers inspect every vinyl pull across four verification gates.
Client deliverables
Assets required to initiate mold tooling and sampling
3D sculpt & CAD files
STP / OBJ / STL / ZTLWatertight mesh data with draft angles optimized for rotocast copper molds and clean demolding.
Split line & joint maps
2D Schematic / PDFDefined parting seams and friction-fit joint tolerances for articulated head, arm, and waist connections.
Colorway & paint callouts
Pantone Solid CoatedExact ink formulas, mask stencil boundaries, spray gradation zones, and pad printing vector files.
Packaging dieline artwork
AI / PDF (CMYK + 300 DPI)Final header card, window box, or foil bag graphic layouts matched to drop-test approved inserts.
Quality control gates
Inspection procedures applied to every production batch
Wall thickness uniformity
Tolerance: ±0.2 mmRotational cycle speed and vinyl slush weight are strictly calibrated to prevent thin spots, sink marks, or collapse.
Flash line manual trimming
100% Hand-trimmedTrained technicians excise excess mold parting flash using precision scalpel blades before seam flame-smoothing.
Odor-free curing validation
Zero VOC lingeringPost-mold thermal bake chambers stabilize the plasticizer matrix, eliminating residual PVC solvent smells.
Paint scratch & adhesion testing
ASTM D3359 Cross-hatchCross-cut tape pull and friction abrasion tests verify specialized vinyl inks bond permanently to the substrate.
All 3D models, tooling splits, and packaging master files remain under standard mutual NDA with dedicated, isolated storage on Hanyang Toy internal servers.
