FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1) Where do we begin? The most frequently asked question here at AndGor Toys is how much  does a custom action figure of myself (or a famous person) cost and what do you need from me to do it! Well, the cost varies depending on the difficulty of the project. It is safe to assume that a basic figure of yourself would start in the range of $400.00. This would include a unique head  sculpt by our talented 3d art department, as well as a body of your choice and a basic set of clothing, such as jeans, T-shirt, shoes, etc. If you would like a more complex outfit (such as military gear, leather jacket, trench coats, etc.) the price would go up accordingly.

 
2) What do we need from you? To begin a custom project or a personalized action figure AndGor Toys first needs a series of photographs of you (or the subject you would like created).  We will  also need a deposit equal to 80% of the overall total in order to begin any work or place your   order into our production schedule.  Orders of $250 or less will need to be paid in full up front.  Orders placed for Christmas will need to be paid in full up front in order to receive preffered delivery status for Christmas Delivery.

 

.A series of photos like the ones above are needed to help our sculptors create a custom figure  that looks and feels like a mini version of yourself. If the person you would like a personalized figure of is deceased (such as a grandparent, etc) and you do not have the angles needed, simply supply us was as much information and as many photos as you possible can. Our sculptors have been known to work miracles when we need them to! Remember... the better the angles then the better the likeness will be, after all, we are creating a three dimensional image!

 

 

Also be sure to send us a close-up of the face if possible, as well as a good photo of any special facial expressions you may want on your figure!

 

 

3) How do we get these photos to you? That’s simple! If you have a digital camera, or scanner to scan in photos, you can e-mail them to us at: QUOTATION PAGE. If you are unable to e-mail   photos or get them in digital format, you can mail them to us in U.S.Mail. Don’t worry! Your    photos will be returned to you when we ship you the final personalized action figure!

 

4) What if the Sculpt I want is of a comic book character, or a person I have created in my mind or on paper? Simple! Provide us with as many sketches and angles as you possibly can and we will take the 2-d work and make it into the 3-d sculpt for your personalized action figure!

 

5) What kind of payments do you accept? AndGor Toys accepts all major credit cards, as well as checks and money orders (Before work can begin the check will need to clear the bank, checks from out of the state of Florida take 2-3 weeks to clear the bank). AndGor Toys is also considering Ritual Sacrifice as a method of payment (Just wanted to make sure people were actually reading all of this!)

 

If you are paying by credit card, you may phone us Toll Free at 877-4-AndGor or log onto our online order form. We run our order form on a secure server to ensure safe online credit card transactions!  

 

 

 

6) O.k. Now I have ordered my personalized figure, but want some extra heads! No problem! Once your initial head sculpt is created, AndGor Toys will keep the mold on file for 1 year. Anytime you reorder head sculpts they are only $40 each! Each time you place a new reorder the 1 year  holding period is extended!

 

7) Do you create bodies as well as heads? For the personalized action figures - no! AndGor Toys places your custom 1:6 scale head on any 12” Action Figure on the market Today! We do create prototype bodies and custom bodies, but the price is extremely high and not practical to provide  as part of the personalized figures program.

 

8) What is 1:6 Scale? 1:6 Scale is the size AndGor Toys produce it's figures.  Basically every 1 foot in the toy world equals 6 feet in the real world. So a 12” high GI Joe figure would “scale up” to a   6 foot tall man in real life. We can work in smaller scales (For Famous Covers, Megos, Etc.) but we most commonly work in 1:6 scale and all of our accessories and clothing are in this scale as well.

 

9) Do you do anything else besides Head Sculpts? Yes, our team of sculptors has over 25 years of experience. AndGor toys can produce resin and vinyl model kits (Original sculpts, buildups, finished painting, etc.) prototype figures, statues, busts, life size display figures and anything else you can think of! Ask us for details if you have a custom project in mind! Check out our sculpting page!

 

10) I wanted to do a run of 10 figures, but $400 is to expensive for me! Is there a discount for multiple figures? Yes! As stated above, the main cost is the initial head sculpt, once that is done  we can mass produce the heads for a more reasonable price. On larger runs we have a plant overseas that can produce vinyl heads. Please contact us about our multi-figure discounts and special projects area.

 

11) I would like a custom figure of a well known Popular Icon or Famous Character.  Do copyright issues prevent me from realizing my action figure dream?  No!  AndGor Toys specializes in creating one of a kind custom action figures and toys.  We work hard to bring you the action figure you want.  As long as we only produce a custom, one of a kind piece we are OK.  If you have other questions regarding this subject contact us via email at QUOTATION PAGE .

 

12)  Can AndGor produce a short run or limited run of action figures?  AndGor Toy Company can produce custom limited run figures in quantities of 25 - 500 for your special events, shows, or Joe clubs. For larger runs we can manufacture production quality vinyl heads and clothing with  custom packaging. For smaller runs we can produce resin painted heads, production clothing   with general packaging and custom inserts.  We can supply production quality clothing on runs as small as 25 pieces! AndGor Toys strives to create completely authentic, high-quality figures with great attention to detail.
Here is an example of how the process will work:
       • To enhance a civil war display, a Joe Club approaches AndGor with the idea to
           create an action figure based on President Abraham Lincoln.
       • AndGor requests you compile photo references for prototype head sculpt and
           authentic clothing design.
       • AndGor Sculptors and Artists will meet to discuss the project at hand.
       • Usually within a week, AndGor will have final pricing based on the number
         of figures you wish to produce (In this case our minimum of 25 figures)
       • Two prices are set, the price for the initial Prototype and head sculpt, and the
         price for the run of 25 figures (Priced on a Per Figure Basis)
       • When terms are agreed upon, the initial payment for prototype is received, and
         production of the head sculpt and clothing design begins.
       • 8-12 weeks later the prototype figure is completed and submitted for approval.
       • Upon approval and payment for the production run, figures will be created and
         shipping in exclusive packaging (if any).

Great Ideas for Short Run Figures Could Be:
       • Club Exclusive Figures
       • Toy Show or Convention Exclusives
       • Historical Figures (Specific Period Pieces)
       • Famous Military Battles or Events
       • Custom Super hero or Personal Comic Heroes
       • Outer space figures, Sci-fi Heroes or Aliens

13) Is there a minimum figure amount I have to run?  Is there a maximum? Good question.  You can make as few as ONE FIGURE.  The shining star in your collection.  Or we can mass produce figures of your own design using our overseas manufacturing contacts.  You would really have to produce more than 1,000 copies of the same item to justify overseas production.  AndGor can always work with you on realizing your action figure dreams.  Just remember to be as specific as possible.  Just email us at QUOTATION PAGE .

 

14) How long does the whole process take? Well that varies.....this has become a very popular gift.  Typically orders take about 4-6 months.  But we have had them run up to 8 months sometimes longer.  We do have rush service available for an additional fee.  You can ask about the rush service when inquiring about a quote.

 

15) If a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound? Yes….errrr….no…..errrrr….next question.
