04 · Why it takes longer
Why molded products take longer, and cost more to start
Most of the time and the upfront cost of a figure goes into its steel mold. Once the mold is right, 10,000 pieces take about a week.
Every part needs its own mold
Each separate piece of your design, such as a head, body, arm, base or accessory, needs its own steel mold. A mold costs around US$5,000 per part.
Each mold is tested twice
The first test shots (T0) show where the mold needs correcting, and a second trial (T1) confirms it. Paint and print are then piloted twice on real parts. That testing is most of the roughly 5 months.
Complex designs mean more molds
More separate parts, moving joints and fine details mean more molds and more paint steps. A one-piece design needs one mold (about US$5,000); a 6-part figure needs about US$30,000 of molds before the first piece is made.
Design guide: simplify your design before quotingHow to keep it affordable
- Fewer separate partsMerge small details into one piece where the design allows.
- Order enough to spread the moldA US$5,000 mold adds US$5 per piece over 1,000 pcs, but only US$0.50 over 10,000 pcs.
- Skip the mold when you canAcrylic keychains, standees and personalised ready blanks need no new mold.

05 · FAQ
Questions first-time buyers ask
I only have an idea. Is that enough?
Yes. Most projects start that way. Tell Takara what it is for, roughly how many you need and your budget, and you get product suggestions to choose from.
Do I need a 3D file?
No. A sketch, a photo of something you like or your logo is enough. The 3D model is made for you, and you approve it before anything is produced.
How many do I have to order?
It depends on the product: acrylic keychains start at 500 pcs, and blind-box figures, vinyl toys and injection-molded toys at 3,000. Every line lists its minimum in the catalogue above.
How much will it cost?
Price depends on size, material, finish and quantity. Molded products also have a one-time mold cost that is spread across your order, so the more you make, the lower the price per piece. Check the reference prices, or send your idea for a quote. See reference prices →
How long does it take?
A brand-new molded figure takes about five months from 3D model to finished goods, mostly for making and testing the mold. Products that need no new mold, like acrylic keychains and standees, are much quicker.
Can I check quality before mass production?
Yes. You receive a physical sample to hold and approve. Mass production starts only after you sign off.
Are the products safe for kids and retail?
Partner factories produce to international toy-safety standards such as EN71 (EU) and ASTM F963 (US), and testing can be arranged with accredited labs such as SGS or Bureau Veritas.
