Custom Bobbleheads – Difference Between Polyresin and Polymer Clay
As we know, China is the biggest factory on the world, China sell many things all over the world including custom bobble heads. Some Bobblehead providers say their custom bobblehead are made in USA, that is not true. In fact most of them are just a “middle man”, as they past the orders to China factory and the factory send the final product back to them, finally they send the doll to the customer.
There are two types of materiels with two different ways to creat your owned custom bobble head, one is polyresin, and the other one is Polymer Clay, Now let us have a look at the two types of materials that are being used in the production of custom bobble heads and discuss the pluses and minuses of each.
Polyresin Bobblehead:
Polyresin is popular in factory production, it is a good choice as long as there is large production that runs of 100 pieces or more. when production with polyresin, the factory highly sculpt the mold and then compound resin compound to replicate thousands of the product, at last apply paint. The strength of polyresin is desirable, When using in the production of these products, the end result is durable. Most of the mass produced custom bobble heads that you see on the market or at giveaways at baseball stadiums are made with polyresin material.
Polymer Clay Bobblehead:
Polymer Clay is a material could be used to create the single pieces that people desired. Polymer clay is a sculptable material based on the polymer polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It usually contains no clay minerals, and is only called “clay” because its texture and working properties resemble those of mineral clay. It is sold in craft, hobby, and art stores, and is used by artists, hobbyists, and children. Polymer Clay is highly sculptable, workable but inexpensive. when production with Polymer Clay, the final product is 100% handmade.
So, which one is better? As mentioned, polyresin is a customizable material and is very sturdy, but is quite expensive. If looking for single piece personalized bobbleheads, one piece could cost around $200. But with polymer clay, you will get the same customization except at the expense of structure strength. The cost of polymer clay custom bobble heads is in the neighborhood of $100.
What’s more, since Polymer Clay sculpts with the finished product, so its color is the color of the clay, which makes the final product brighter, true 3D likeness and higher quality. However, if made with poly resin clay, they bake and mold the dolls, and then apply paint – and that’s your doll.
What it comes to you is: do you want a durable product or one that will cost less money but it is actually brighter, true 3D likeness and higher quality? The former is like a stone with little value while the later one will give you much value though it is a little fragile like an easter egg.
