Handmade Figurines from Indie Sculptors

A figurine is a small standing figure, usually 2 to 8 inches tall, made for a shelf, desk, or display cabinet. Indie makers sculpt in polymer clay, air-dry clay, cast resin, ceramic, cold porcelain, and wood, and most pieces are hand-painted, so no two match exactly. If it will be handled, look for a sealed surface (varnish or resin coat) and a flat, weighted base so it stands without tipping. Check whether the figure is solid or hollow: solid clay and resin shrug off bumps better than thin slip-cast ceramic. Custom portrait figurines, sculpted from a photo of a person, pet, or couple, are the most-requested type and cost more than stock designs. Expect roughly $20-$60 for small ready-made figures and $70-$200+ for detailed custom or larger work. Stock pieces often ship in 3-7 business days; sculpted-to-order portraits usually need 2-4 weeks.
