why is there no toyline that lets you design your own OC characters by selling generic outfits/bodytypes/hairstyles and faces?

i like the creative appeal of dolls, but.. i don't like dolls. having customizable figma would but fucking amazing.

pic related is close to what i mean. generic animuh characters unrelated to any franchise with wedding dresses. more of that, with any kind of dressup and style so that we can create our own dudes and waifus

Probably too much work to get it too the point where it’s profitable because they’d be making parts not everyone will buy, and copyright issues. Just get some bootlegs and cannibalise parts to learn how to customise. If you shop around there’s whole lines dedicated to part swapping and companies who make base bits and customising but I’m not spoon feeding you.

Eating is a necessity for survival.
Playing with toys is a leisurely activity/hobby.
Not exactly a fair comparison, but I see your point.

The main reason it doesn’t exist yet is an issue of demand. Customizable non-descript Figma-style figures with swappable accessories is a bit of a niche market. Now, GSC, Bandai, Hobby Base, and Kaiyodo all have or are planning to make blank figures for customizing purposes (Figma Archetypes, Figma Bride and Groom, Figuarts Body-Chan/Kun, Hobby Base Sozai-Chan, and Revoltech’s upcoming Fraulein Zwei). I’m all for the idea, anon, but it’s a specialized market that may not be lucrative enough for the big companies to get deeply into.

For a la carte custom figures like OP wants, made-on-demand 3D printing is probably the best way to go from a business standpoint. Yes, I’m fully aware that 3D printing has limitations on combinations of resolution and durability (they can sometimes be inversely related), but as the technology continues to improve then having customized orders of hair, faceplates, body, accessories, etc. will be feasible for the seller using sites like Shapeways where they upload their models and simply add a markup to the base price. And yes, over time prices of prints will drop further as the tech improved and catches on more and more.

Right now though, it’s HIGHLY niche and more built for hobbyists than mass-market.

You underestimate the demand for waifus. There's a reason so many Japanese games have constant events for wedding costumes and these were sold with the intention of being used for headswaps. You can even strip her down to her underwear for hotglue time.

I legitimately wouldn't be surprised if it was one of the best selling Figmas ever.

To be honest, it would be cool if there was a catalogue of faces, expression, eye shapes with the ability to adjust the color of the eyes, maybe even a bunch of common-use hairstyles that you could then order and would be custom-made.
But that would probably be a lot of work, logistically.

Yes, except then i will have Miku Hatsunes Head on Yui's body. That is barely considered an OC.

Thats why i picked the random bride figma, cause that design is not based on an actual character.

It's sitting at around 4.5-5k on Mandarake, so I would say it sold about as much percentage of stock as most figma. Not very many are the ones that double or triple in value. And the Noir versions are still easily available, GSC is selling them themselves at Anime Expo next weekend, and probably every convention they go to until they're out.

Assault/Custom Lily (‘dolls’ with picco neemo body but they have solid hair like figmas). That’s the closest you’ll get so far. Assault are characters from Azone’s generic IPs nobody really cares about, they have more elaborate costumes to match their box designs, Custom Lilys have more basic clothing and a huge range of hairstyles in different hair/eye colours and they clearly want you to buy the matching picco neemo clothing.

Too many idea guys in this thread with a "...but I guess it’s logistics/expensive" and not enough making the magic happen for yourself. You can either wait a decade for a toy line to magically appear for the slim chance to make your OC for parts that may never manufacture or you can visit the customs thread to pick up a new hobby and have fun, they don’t bite.

Considering how (relatively) cheap they are, I am guessing they are not exactly a smash hit.

But who knows, even if it didn´t sell much, it could have fallen into the company´s expectations, making it technically a success.

1) Help fund other KS’s before doing yours, thereby giving yourself at least some credibility as a member of the site.
2) Get your designs drawn out, along with any plans for unlocking other figures for higher pledges, giving incentives for people to pledge for more than $1.
3) Create or commission all products to be prototyped and painted.
4) Take high quality snapshots of every product so people will know what to expect.
5) Design the packaging to be both economical yet eye-catching.
6) Calculate the total cost to produce, package, ship, and sell the bare minimum order from the factories plus an appropriate profit margin for online or physical stores that will carry the items.
7) After everything is planned, start your KS with all the pics of the painted prototypes, packaging, unlockables, prices per units/bundles and shipping, and updates on the KS page.
8) Once the campaign ends and you manage to secure enough pledges for the bare minimum order or greater, get the products made, keep in constant contact with the manufacturers for making sure tooling, mold making, painting, etc is done right, visiting the factories whenever possible and having expedited shipments of test runs of the product to personally check.
9) Keep your backers up-to-date on everything as it goes along.
10) Once it all gets finalized, get the products made, shipped to you, then ship orders to backers and the stores to sell.
