Meet your Mini Me.Custom 3D figurines from photos · Singapore

A Mini Me costs from S$49 for a Paint your own kit and S$99 for a Colour Print, both at 10 cm. A single hand-painted Mini Me starts from S$299 for a figure up to 15 cm, including the artwork proof, the 3D preview, the paintwork and a themed base. Up to 20 cm is S$399. Those prices are the Animated style; the Realistic style adds S$200 and is chosen before you start. Each extra person or pet in the same scene is 75% of a whole model, which puts a couple from S$523.20, and a scene of three or more starts at 20 cm so each of them stays paintable. The two printed styles price a group as one print, with each extra person or pet a flat S$19.90 and S$9.90 at 10 cm, up to 4 side by side on one base. The customised base and a gift box come with every Mini Me; the glass dome is included with the hand-painted styles and is S$49.90 extra on the printed two. A personalised plate adds S$19.90. Team sets of 10 or more are quoted with volume pricing. All prices include GST.

It will be recognisably you, in a deliberately stylised form: hairstyle, glasses, outfit and the details people know you by are kept, while faces are charmingly simplified rather than photo-real. Think 3D caricature rather than portrait: the likeness comes from the details you are known by, not from replicating every feature. You see and approve the artwork and the 3D preview before anything is printed, so nothing is a surprise. If you want a true portrait sculpt rather than a stylised one, talk to us and we will quote it as a bespoke piece.

Two or three clear photos per person (a front view and a side view in good, even light) plus a picture of anything you want included, like an instrument or a jersey. For pets, one full-body shot and one clear face shot. No photo at all? Describe what you want and our design team can sculpt from a brief instead.

In two stages, where changes are still easy. First the artwork proof: two revision rounds are included to adjust hair, outfit, colours and pose, and your approval locks the look. Then the 3D preview: one round covers geometry and base fit. Because everything is approved before printing, changes after printing aren't possible, but if a piece arrives damaged or defective, we repaint or reprint it.

Every Mini Me comes mounted on a customised base, sculpted with terrain, props or scenery to suit the piece. The hand-painted styles also come under a glass dome; on Colour Print and Paint your own the dome is S$49.90 extra. A laser-engraved plate with a name, date or message adds S$19.90.

Yes: same process, same photos, same base. Cats, dogs, birds, rabbits: send a full-body photo and a clear face photo and we'll take it from there.

Not as figurines. True-to-spec replicas of products, machines or buildings are scale-model work, engineered for accuracy and quoted per project. Tell us what you need via our scale models page and we'll quote it properly.

A Colour Print or Paint your own Mini Me takes about a week. The hand-painted styles, Animated and Realistic, take about four weeks from your 3D preview approval. Add however long the proof rounds take on your side. Tell us your date: proposals and farewells have deadlines, and rush options are available.

It is the rare gift nobody already owns, because it did not exist until you ordered it. It works best when the person is the point: a couple at their wedding, a colleague leaving after nine years, someone who just graduated or finished their first marathon, or a pet the whole family is soft about. It is a keepsake rather than a consumable, so it tends to stay on a desk or shelf for years instead of being used up.

Give yourself about five weeks for a hand-painted Mini Me: about four are ours once you approve the 3D preview, and the rest is the proof rounds, which move at whatever pace you reply. A Colour Print or Paint your own figurine needs about a week. If your date is tighter than that, tell us before you order and we will say honestly whether it fits, and whether a rush slot is available.

Yes. Choose courier at checkout and enter their address instead of yours, and add a gift box with a note if you want it to arrive ready to hand over. If you would rather see it first, self-collection from our Bendemeer studio is free.
