If You Want To Buy Figurines As A Gift Why Not Make Them Unique

The big day has been set and things have been put in motion. Your older sister is finally getting married. There is a lot to keep track of and a lot of people are going to have a good deal to look after. You love her to bits but truthfully you're relieved she chose her best friend to be matron of honour for you are not certain you could handle the inevitable stress. You informed her that you wanted to take care of the cake and she took you up on that gesture right away, after all not everybody has a professional pastry chef for a kid sister. The cake will be magnificent of that you have no doubt at all, and to top it all off (quite literally) there will be customized bride/groom figurines. You are planning on surprising her with them at the wedding shower in a month if you can get them that quickly.

##I could possibly sculpt them myself or there is a buddy of mine at art school but he's totally swamped...

While you may very well manage to find someone you know who could craft you a custom-made figurine, there's no need for that. You are able to, especially if time is of the essence, buy figurines online. It may seem surprising but these days, there are businesses that do customized figurines online.

##Custom made cake toppers sounds like a pretty flimsy business, people make a living at that?

Well, it is not just cake toppers. Websites, and yes there are many competing web sites to choose from, that specialize in custom figurines will create them for all sorts of different occasions. The truth is a custom-made figurine makes a clever fun gift.

##Okay, so what do I do?

First thing to do is go online and Google "customized wedding figurine" or "custom bride/groom figurines" or something like that. You'll see numerous competing sites. The next thing to do is compare costs, production times and most importantly quality of work. All of those websites ought to have galleries of figurines and the photographs from which they were created. When you find a site you like, simply place your order.

##So, what are they going to need me to provide?

All these websites will have details of what they require but the brief answer is 'photographs.' If you can provide a few clear shots at somewhat different angles, that are fairly close up, exhibiting good facial details, not too drastically lit, and displaying nice natural expressions these websites should be able to produce a good likeness without any trouble. The less they have to work with the harder the job and perhaps less spectacular the results.

It's easy nowadays to buy figurines online and expect wonderful affordably priced results relatively quickly. When you unveil your spectacular cake and people recognize that the toppers are actually miniature versions of the bride and groom themselves it will be a perfect moment. The best part is that while your cake won't last the night, the toppers will afford them an excellent memory for years to come.

What is the price of figurine sets in Malaysia (Selangor)?

for do it yourself figurine sets (i mean the ones that you have 2 sand and paint it yourself)

There are many types of figurines sold, and therefore the price differs according to size, type, and place of origin. Limited edition figurines would also be priced much higher. I can't exactly tell you the price unless you tell me which figurine you want...

In KL/Selangor, a simple 20cm figurine could cost approx RM150++. This is the price I saw sometime last month in XL Shop, Times Square, for a Saint Seiya figurine that I wanted to buy.

Also, the place of origin of the figurines can make the price differ a lot. A figurine important from Japan would be priced quite high, while those made in China would be priced lower. Also, beware of imitation goods. There are a lot of clever imitations sold in established anime merchandise stores that look like the original thing.

Anyway, you may want to check out the pricing of XL-Shop figurines here: http://xl-shop.com/

The prices in eBay Malaysia can also help you gauge more accurately how much you figurine would cost. http://search.ebay.com.my/

Hope that helps... I'm not exactly a figurine expert, but I have a good friend and a lecturer who are obsessed with figurines... XD
