What You Can Customise on a Couple of Things Bobblehead
Updated
You can personalise a Couple of Things bobblehead by choosing the pose and outfit, adding design notes, and uploading reference photos for details that matter. Optional props and extra people are also available, but they change the final price — so the total you see in the ordering studio, before checkout, is the number to trust. The figurine itself is handmade from polymer clay, and pricing starts at US$109 for one person.
The customisation options
| What you choose | What it covers | Effect on price |
|---|---|---|
| Pose | How the figurine stands or sits | Included in the base design |
| Outfit | Clothing for the figure | Included in the base design |
| Design notes | Written instructions for details you care about | Included |
| Reference photos | Visual guidance for important specifics | Included |
| Optional props | Extra objects or accessories | Affects the final price |
| Additional people | More than one figure in the piece | Affects the final price |
The base price of US$109 applies to one person. Anything beyond that — props, a second figure — is priced in the ordering studio, so review the total there rather than estimating it yourself.
How the customisation actually gets built
Customisation here isn't a dropdown menu of preset characters. It works from your photos:
- Upload a clear, front-facing photo in good light. This is the anchor for the likeness.
- Add side views and separate outfit references where useful. If a detail matters — a specific jacket, a hairstyle — give the artist a dedicated image for it.
- Choose your pose, clothing and optional props.
- Identify the main photo if you upload several, so the artist knows which one drives the design.
- Review your selections, price and design notes before placing the order.
The design notes field is where you spell out things a photo can't show, such as a particular expression or a detail you want emphasised.
Where the AI preview fits — and where it doesn't
The AI preview is a way to explore a design idea before committing. It is not a photograph of your finished figurine and not an exact guarantee of how the piece will turn out.
The artist's sculpture proofs are the real checkpoint. These show the handmade work for your review before baking, which means you can request changes at that stage. If the likeness or an outfit detail is off, that's the moment to say so — once the piece is approved for baking, that window closes.
Timing to plan around
Production typically runs from 3 business days to 2 weeks. Design complexity and how quickly you respond to proof approvals both affect that window. Shipping happens after production, so if you're ordering for a birthday, graduation, retirement or wedding, work backwards from the date and leave room for a proof revision.
A practical example
Say you want a graduation gift. You upload a front-facing photo in good light, add a side view, and attach a separate photo of the gown and cap. You pick a standing pose, note that you want the diploma held in the right hand, and skip props. One person, so the base price applies. When the artist's proof arrives, you notice the hair is too short and ask for a change — that request happens before baking, and it's the last easy moment to make it.
