Custom Doctor Bobblehead

1. Order and send a couple of clear photos — a face shot plus a full-body photo help us get the likeness and posture right. No photo handy? Choose “after checkout” and we'll email you a secure upload link.
2. We'll reach out to confirm the details, then hand-shape your piece. Around 3 working days in, you'll get proof photos of the unbaked clay figure.
3. Tell us what to change. We refine it free, as many times as you like — the fewer changes needed, the faster it ships. Please reply to your proof within 24 hours; your piece waits on the bench until you do.
4. Once you approve it, we bake it hard and ship it to your door.

One thing to flag early: skin tone, hair color and eye color are mixed into the clay before sculpting begins, so they're locked in from the start. Tell us anything specific about color before we start rather than at the proof stage.

• 6″ (15 cm) — fixed head only
• 7″ (18 cm) — fixed or bobbing
• 8″ (20 cm) — fixed or bobbing
• 9″ (23 cm) — fixed or bobbing

A fixed head sits still — cleaner lines, better for a desk or a shelf. A bobbing head is spring-mounted and nods when tapped. Both are sculpted exactly the same way; it's purely about how you want it to sit. The 6″ has no bobbing option because at that scale the spring housing takes up too much of the neck.

• Face lit from the front, without heavy shadow across one side
• Eyes open, no sunglasses, hair not covering the face
• A second photo from a different angle makes a noticeable difference to the likeness
• If you want a particular outfit, send a photo showing it
• Higher resolution is better — screenshots of screenshots are hard to work from

If you only have one usable photo, send it anyway and we'll tell you honestly whether it's enough.

Most orders arrive in about 2–3 weeks total (making + shipping), depending on how many revisions your piece needs — the fewer changes, the faster it ships. Need it sooner? Rush make and Fastest (express courier such as FedEx/DHL) options are available for an extra fee. Choose a delivery speed on this page to see your estimated dates. Holiday timing can vary slightly — message us to confirm your exact date and pricing.

Baked polymer clay is hard and water-resistant, closer to ceramic than plastic. Wipe it with a damp cloth whenever it needs it — it won't fade, peel or discolor. It will break if dropped onto a hard floor, the same as any ceramic ornament. Pieces can usually be glued, but a shelf suits it better than the edge of a desk.

Full refund any time before production starts. Once we begin making your piece, materials are already committed, so cancellations after that point are refunded minus a 50% materials fee. If your piece arrives damaged, or doesn't match the proof you approved, we remake it or refund you in full.
