A gift with your team on it, literally. Each person sculpted as a small, recognisable figurine in the company uniform or brand colours, with a seasonal touch such as a Christmas hat if it suits, and as many copies of each as you need to hand out. This is a request we have had through our quote form, and it works best planned early, because the sculpting is done per person and the printing per copy.
What to send us
- For each person: a clear photo of the face from the front, one from the side, and a full-length photo, all in even light.
- Photos of the uniform or company clothing, front and back, and the logo artwork if it appears on it.
- Who is who, and anything particular about each person that should show, such as glasses, a beard or the way they stand.
- How many copies of each figurine you need, and the date the gifts need to be in hand.
- Confirmation that everyone is happy to be made into a figurine. It is a better gift when nobody is surprised by it.
Many faces, one consistent style
At around 10cm, a figure is recognised by face, hair, build and clothing together, so we sculpt each person from their own photos and keep the body style, scale and paint style consistent across the whole set. On a shelf they look like one team rather than a mixed bag.
The company clothing can be sculpted once and fitted to each person, which keeps it identical across everyone and puts the work where it matters, in the faces. Seasonal extras such as a hat, a scarf or a wrapped present go on the same way.
You approve renders of every figure before printing. Each one is then printed and finished in full colour, and repeat copies come from the same approved model, so every copy matches the first.
Size, material and finish
- Size
- Small, around 10cm, suits a desk. Standard, around 15cm, if you want more detail in each face.
- Colour
- Full colour, hand painted or as a full colour print. We will advise which suits the number of copies.
- Material
- Resin, for the finest detail in the faces.
- Base
- Plain, or engraved with a name, a role or a message for the season.
- Copies
- As many of each as you need. They are printed from the approved sculpt, so the sculpting is only done once however many you order.
How long it takes
Christmas is the deadline everyone has, and it does not move. Sculpting is the slow part and it grows with the number of people, so the earlier the photos arrive the better. The quote comes back within one working day with a lead time for the whole set, and if the date you give us cannot be met, we will say so rather than take the job and miss it.
Questions
Can the figurines wear our company clothing and logo?
Yes, when it is your own company and your own logo. Send the logo artwork and photos of the clothing and it goes onto every figure.
Can we order more copies later?
Yes. Once a figure is sculpted and approved, more copies are a print rather than a new sculpt.
Do we need a photographer?
No. Phone photos taken against a plain wall in daylight work well, and each person can send their own. Front, side and full length is the set we need.
