Custom bobbleheads are more than just novelty gifts—they’re personalized keepsakes that capture unique moments, emotions, and personalities in 3D form. Whether you’re looking for a birthday surprise, wedding topper, or company giveaway, a customized bobblehead is both fun and memorable.
Steps to Create Your Own Custom Bobblehead
1. Choose a Reliable Vendor

5. Review Draft and Approve
You’ll receive a preview of your model before final approval. Revisions can be requested at this stage to ensure your bobblehead looks exactly like you imagined.
6. Production and Delivery
Once approved, the figurine is handcrafted and shipped to your location.
Materials Used for Custom Bobbleheads
Bbobbler offers two main material options:
- Polymer Clay: Ideal for capturing finer details with rich color that doesn’t require painting.
- Resin: Often used for larger or highly detailed pieces, and typically painted after molding.
Choosing the Right Size and Type
Standard size is 6.5 inches for adults. However, Bbobbler offers other sizes depending on the use case:
- 8”, 9.5”, 12”: Larger display versions

Keep in mind: Sitting models are typically shorter than standing ones.
