Them, in their own kit
A player sculpted from photos in their real club colours, for a milestone, a birthday or a send off.
Your idea, made real
A hundredth game, a last season, a first rep jersey, or a grandchild who lives for Saturday mornings. A figurine of them in their own kit marks it in a way a framed jersey does not. It works for any sport with a recognisable kit and pose: rugby, netball, cricket, football, hockey and plenty more.
What to send us
- A clear front on photo of their face in daylight, and one from the side.
- A full length photo of them in the kit, front on, and one from behind if the number or name matters.
- Close-ups of the jersey, so the colours, hoops and stripes come out right.
- An action photo of the pose you want: the goal kick, the lineout jump, the shot at goal.
- The wording for the base: their name, the milestone and the date.
Getting the pose and the kit right
Sports figures are mostly about the pose. A goal kicker's stance or a bowler's delivery is instantly recognisable to anyone who has watched them play, so we build the figure from an action photo of the person doing it, with the face sculpted from clearer photos.
The kit is sculpted from photos of the real one, then painted in the club colours: hoops, stripes, socks and the number on the back. In the right colours a figure reads as their team from across the room, with no need for a logo.
You see renders before anything is printed and can ask for changes. A figure caught mid kick or mid jump needs support, so the pose and the base are planned together.

How long it takes
The quote comes back with a lead time before you commit. Milestone games and prizegivings fall on fixed dates, so put the real one in the form and we will tell you honestly whether it can be met.
Questions
Can you add the club logo?
Only where the club is happy for it to be used. Most figures look right without one, because the colours and the hoops or stripes carry it.
Can you do the whole team for prizegiving?
Yes. Our mascot and awards page covers making one design as a batch, and a figure of each player can be quoted the same way.
Can it be a surprise?
Yes. Match photos are often enough for the kit and the pose, and a clear face from a team or family photo does the rest. We will tell you if there is enough to work from.
