FAQ About Action Figures Manufacturing
At Weijun, mass production typically takes 40-45 days (6-8 weeks) after prototype approval. That means once the action figure prototype is approved, you can expect your order to be ready for shipment within 6 to 8 weeks, depending on the complexity and quantity of the order. If accessories are included, the production time may be longer. We work efficiently to meet deadlines while ensuring the highest quality standards.
We usually accept a minimum order of 50,000 units per order for action figures. However, if you have specific customization requirements, we can adjust the minimum order quantity (MOQ). Our marketing professionals will work with you to create personalized plans tailored to your needs, budget, and production timeline.
With decades of experience in toy figure customization, we offer a range of options to bring your vision to life. If you have a prototype and specifications for your action figures and accessories, we can follow them precisely. If not, we can provide tailored solutions for your needs, including:
• Rebranding: Custom logos, cards, etc.

Now, let's show you the action figure manufacturing process at the Weijun factory.
Step 1: Action Figure Prototyping
Prototyping is the foundation of creating high-quality custom action figures. We work closely with you to bring your ideas to life, ensuring every detail meets your expectations before mass production begins.
1) Concepts & Design
We start with rough sketches and finalize the design with detailed turnarounds and color concepts, ensuring every feature is considered.
2) Prototype Modeling & Refinement
We sculpt each body part and accessory, either by hand or digitally, creating an unpainted prototype for your review. Once approved, we refine the prototype for production readiness.
3) Molding
After your approval, we create molds for mass production.
4) Painting
The prototype is painted to create a "paint master," which serves as the guide for production. We then produce test toys to verify function and quality.
5) Final Approval
Before mass production, we send final samples for your approval to ensure that everything meets your quality expectations.
Step 2: Action Figure Manufacturing
After you approve the sample, we start the mass production process at our factory. Here's the streamlined overview of our action figure manufacturing process.
1) Action Figure Parts Production
Through injecting molding, we make every part of the figure and accessories.
2) Action Figure Painting
After parts are cast, they undergo detailed painting. We use both spray painting machines and hand painting to achieve the perfect finish.
3) Action Figure Assembly & Packaging
The painted parts are carefully assembled and placed in their selected packaging, ready for shipment.
Custom Action Figures: Everything You May Want to Know
In today's market, action figures are not just toys - they're collectibles, limited-edition items, and powerful brand tools. The characters of action figures can come from movies, literature, or original concepts. But how to turn a character into an actionable toy figure? What should be considered from the very beginning? We will show you the process of creating action figures from concept to products at the Weijun factory.
#1 Action Figure Materials
Weijun has 30 years of action figure manufacturing experience. It's hard to say what material is the best to make action figures because different materials offer different flexibility, realism, strength, and durability. Below are the most commonly used materials in our factories:
• PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): Best for standard action figures, collectibles, and toys.
• ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene): Best for high-quality, sturdy figures or accessories that require a bit more strength.
• POM (Polyoxymethylene) / Acetal: Best for joints and movable parts that need precision and smooth articulation.
• Additional Materials: We can integrate a variety of materials into your toy, including magnets, electronics, resin, plush, fabrics, metal, and more.
#2 Action Figure Size
The size of an action figure affects its articulation, level of detail, and overall marketability.
• Small-Scale Figures: 2" to 3" figures for collectibles or miniatures
• 3.75" Figures: Offer a compact size with enough details
• 6" Figures: Offer a balance of detail and articulation
• 12" Figures: Offer extra space for intricate details, realistic clothing, and accessories
• 18" or Larger Figures: Large size or even life-size figures for display or promotional use
#3 Action Figure Joints
The joints and articulation points of an action figure play a critical role in its functionality, poseability, and overall appeal.
Common Articulation Points:
• Head/Neck Joint: Rotation or tilting
• Shoulder Joint: Full arm movement (up, down, around
• Elbow Joint: Bending
• Wrist Joint: Rotation or bending
• Torso/Waist Joint: Twisting or bending
• Hip Joint: Legs movement
• Knee Joint: Leg bending
• Ankle Joint: Rotation or pivot
Advanced Articulation Points:
• Ball-and-Socket Joints: Multi-directional movement
• Double-Jointed Joints: Deeper bends
• Butterfly Joints: Inward and outward arm movement
• Ab Crunch Joint: Torso flexibility
• Thigh and Bicep Swivels: Adjusting angles
At Weijun, we can make action figures with a varied number of joints:
• One Joint: A rotating head
• 3 Joints: Rotating head and both arms
• More Joints: More flexibility
We work to seamlessly integrate the engineering and joints into the figure's design, ensuring they are as discreet as possible for a cleaner, more realistic look.

No matter the materials or the number of accessories, we ensure they are perfectly compatible with your figures, providing both functionality and design cohesion.
